The design codes of building are mainly related to the strength of the building and there are no specific codes for the design of building with waffle floors for vibration sensitive equipment. The finite element model, ANSYS, is capable to consider the effects of floor thickness, the size of the bays and stiffness of the columns for analyzing the vibration of the waffle floors and vibration tra...

?Blue waffle,? or ?blue waffle disease,? is many things, but real is not one of them. It is an urban legend, a myth, a tall tale, a rumor, a hoax, etc. about a fictional sexually transmitted infection [2] (STI). If you do an image search, you?ll find (fake) pictures of blue waffle on the Internet. The blue refers to one of the alleged symptoms, which Reader #2 pointed out, and waffle is slang f...

Several different layout schemes that are useful for implementing low resistance switches with MOS transistors are discussed and characterized. A comparison of the area required for implementing a switch with a standard alternating bar approach is made with layouts using waffle structures, serpentine structures, and modified waffle structures. Analytical design equations for these non-conventio...

Cost is an important factor in choosing the type of floor or slab used any construction. When a large space within building needs to be covered without hindrance and supports, waffle ribbed slabs are used. For all systems, cost constitutes significant portion overall structure. Therefore, this research aims select preferable system with least construction for shopping mall. Computer-aided desig...

The waffle-cone technique is a modified stent application technique, which involves protrusion of the distal portion of a stent into an aneurysm fundus to provide neck support for subsequent coiling. The authors report two cases of wide necked basilar bifurcation aneurysms, which were not amenable to stent assisted coiling, that were treated using the waffle-cone technique with a Solitaire AB s...

A variable phase shifter using a movable waffle iron metal plate comprised of iron rods a quarter-wavelength in length is proposed. A study of the waffle iron structure was carried out and the design method for creating a structure that would achieve large phase changes, small loss, and good isolation between adjacent phase shifters is discussed. Experiments on 1-port and 2-port phase shifters ...

In this paperwe use equivalent circuits to analyze thewavelengths in a Fast and Slow wave Waffle-iron Ridge Guide (FS-WRG). An equivalent circuit for the transverse direction is employed and the transverse resonance method is used to determine the fast wave wavelength. Another equivalent circuit, for the inserted series reactance in the waveguide, is employed for the fast and slow wave waveleng...

OBJECTIVE To compare 3 pressure-reduction devices for effectiveness in prevention of heel ulcers in moderate-risk to high-risk patients. DESIGN A prospective quasi-experimental 3-group design was used. SETTING AND SUBJECTS A sample of 338 "moderate-risk to high-risk" adult inpatients, ages 18 to 97, at 2 medical centers in South Texas were studied. INSTRUMENTS The Braden Scale for Pressur...
