Simplified Application of Load Transfer Method

The PISA method simplified.

We have read with interest the study by Messika-Zeitoun et al. 1 showing that using a fixed angle value of 100 provides an accurate estimation of the miral valve area (MVA) by the proximal isove-locity surface area (PISA) method in patients with mitral stenosis (MS). We appreciate the study as a means to make PISA method more popular in assessing the MVA. Although not cited in the article, we a...

An Experimental Robot Load Identification Method for Industrial Application

This paper discusses a new experimental robot load identification method that is used in industry. The method is based on periodic robot excitation and the maximum likelihood estimation of the parameters, techniques adopted from [1]. This method provides (1) accurate estimates of the robot load inertial parameters, and (2) accurate actuator torques predictions, both of which are essential for t...

Two-In-One Method for Graphene Transfer: Simplified Fabrication Process for Organic Light-Emitting Diodes.

Graphene as one of the most promising transparent electrode materials has been successfully applied in organic light-emitting diodes (OLEDs). However, traditional poly(methyl methacrylate) (PMMA) transfer method usually results in hardly removed polymeric residues on the graphene surface, which induces unwanted leakage current, poor diode behavior, and even device failure. In this work, we prop...
