A manufacturing system for contoured foam cushions.
The design, application and evaluation of a specialized, personal computer-based manufacturing system for contouring foam cushions is presented. The topics discussed include both the hardware configuration and the software design. The target applications of this device are local or centralized fabrication of custom-contoured seat cushions. Although the technologies used for the development and ...
متن کاملBiodegradable Composite Materials as Bone Regenerative Implants
Bioresorbable polymers do not provide sufficient load-bearing support within the body as they do not possess the mechanical properties required to fixate bone [1]. Structural implants rely on durable materials such as metal alloys and ceramics which exceed the modulus of the parent bone tissue approximately tenfold. Since bone structure constantly adjusts to local conditions, this tends to weak...
متن کاملRetention of supportive properties by eggcrate and foam wheelchair cushions.
This study investigated the reported lack of ability of the eggcrate cushion (EC) to provide wheelchair users with adequate support necessary for comfort and tolerably low-peak sitting pressures over time. The primary parameter used to quantify the ability of the cushion to distribute load was the indention force deflection (IFD) metric. The EC was compared to a high-density planar foam cushion...
متن کاملBiodegradable Whey Protein Edible Films as a New Biomaterials for Food and Drug Packaging
Food packaging extensively uses plastic films and containers of petroleum-based polymers for their excellent functional properties and competitive price. Plastic packaging has become a central focus of waste reduction efforts, particularly in aesthetic terms of damage to flora and fauna. Presently, consumers require greater quality and longer shelf lives for their foodstuffs, while they ...
متن کاملBiodegradable Colour Polymeric Film (Starch-Chitosan) Development: Characterization for Packaging Materials
Biodegradable starch-based chitosan reinforced composite polymeric films were prepared by casting. The chitosan content in the films was varied from 20% to 80% (w/w). Tensile strength (TS) was improved significantly with the addition of chitosan but elongation at break (EB %) of the composites decreased. Tensile strength of the composites raised more with the addition of the acacia catechu cont...
