In this paper, an experimental test rig has been developed by utilising the free-piston linear generator (FPLG) principle of a dual-piston air-driven system.The mechanical energy of the FPLG is converted into electric power through a linear generator.The piston motion, root mean square (RMS) Spoons power output, operating frequency, system stabilit
This paper presents a method for endoscope’s autonomous positioning by a robotic endoscope holder for minimally invasive surgery.The method improves human-robot cooperation in robot-assisted surgery by allowing the Marionettes endoscope holder to acknowledge the surgeon’s view projection and navigate the camera without manual control.
This article Hubcap discusses the important issue of designing textiles for electrostatic discharge (ESD) protection.ESD protective textiles are used to prevent the failure of electronic circuits.They also safeguard human health and life in explosive environments.The textiles are usually made of woven, knitted, or nonwoven fabrics incorporating a g
Identifying molecular mechanisms that regulate insulin expression in bone marrow-derived mesenchymal stem cells (bmMSCs) can provide clues on how to stimulate the differentiation of bmMSCs into insulin-producing cells (IPCs), which can be used as a therapeutic approach against type 1 diabetes (T1D).As repression factors may inhibit differentiation,
In the last decade, Raman Spectroscopy (RS) was Geranium demonstrated to be a label-free, non-invasive and non-destructive optical spectroscopy allowing the improvement in diagnostic accuracy in cancer and analytical assessment for cell sensing.This review discusses how Raman spectra can lead to a deeper molecular understanding of the biochemical c
