Handling of Small Biopsy Material

Small Intestinal Biopsy Specimens

The effect of 5-hydroxytryptamine (5-HT) on the crypt cell production rate in normal human duodenal mucosa cultured in vitro was studied using a stathmokinetic technique with crypt microdissection. The addition of 5-HT (2 mg/ml) to the culture medium significantly increased the crypt cell production rate (p < 000 1), suggesting that this amine may have a trophic effect on crypt cells in vitro. ...

Vacuum Gripper- an Important Material Handling Tool

Varieties of robotic grippers are developed with high flexibility and multi-functional approaches. In this paper, the study is an innovative approach of a gripper for handling variable size, shape and weight of unpacked food products i.e. ‘Vacuum Gripper of Robots’ which is working on Bernoulli Principle for generating a high-speed flow between the gripper plate and product surface thereby crea...

Small bowel biopsy (per oral).

[Dimensional accuracy of thermoplastic impression material Adaptol. Part 1. Influence of handling temperature of impression material].

A thermoplastic impression material Adaptol (J.F. Jelenko & Co.) is used for the impression of denture and has attained good results. But the accuracy of the impression material is not distinct. The purpose of this study was to investigate the influence of handling temperature on dimensional accuracy of the impression material. Part 1. Impressions were made with Adaptol and custom trays. Accura...

Effects of Pacing When Using Material Handling Manipulators

Common manipulator-assisted materials handling tasks were performed in a laboratory simulation at self-selected and faster (paced) speeds. The effects of pacing on peak hand forces, torso kinematics, spine moments and forces, and muscle antagonism were determined, along with any influences of several task variables on these effects. The faster trials were performed 20% more rapidly than the sel...
