Problem statement: Underactuated finger mechanism is beneficial in the anthropomorphic applications in which it reduces the finger size, weight and power consumption due to the less number of actuators compared to its number of Degree Of Freedom (DOF). However, the currently existing underactuated finger is limited to grasping operations only and unable to pinch with the finger tip. Moreover, t...

The wearable force feedback glove provides a promising solution for enhancing immersion during teleoperation. In this study, lightweight five-finger exoskeleton (EFFG) was designed, enabling driving detection and flexible feedback. This wireless prototype weighs only 278 g. features bionic structure optimized linkage length to ensure operator safety while providing extensive coverage of the fin...

Biometric is used in computer science as a form of identification and access control. Out of all techniques of biometric finger vein extraction is most effective method. The paper describes the various research done on finger vein till date. We are using a unique combination of the curvature points and mathematical curve analysis along with the minutiae point extraction methods for veins biomet...

Several studies have suggested a significant relationship between finger length and aspects of personality. In this study the ratio between second and fourth digit lengths, known as digit ratio, was correlated with sensation seeking and Internet self-efficacy. In addition the relationship between the fourth and fifth digits, i.e. the little finger and ring finger, and these two constructs was a...

Finger or partial finger amputations are a common occupational hazard seen in laborers handling heavy duty machinery [1]. Sudden loss of finger causes marked psychological trauma to the patient besides varying degrees of functional disability depending upon the extent of trauma and disfigurement [2]. A precisely fitting prosthesis can improve function by restoring normal length, protecting the ...

The ratio of the length of the second digit (2D) to the length of the fourth digit (4D) is greater in women than in men. Since androgens are involved in most somatic sex differences and since the sexual dimorphism in 2D:4D is stable from 2 years of age in humans, it was hypothesized that finger length pattern development might be affected by early androgen exposure. Human females with congenita...

bilateral finger and palm prints of 500 males and 500 females of the caucasian origin in south iran have been collected and analyzed for both qualitative and quantitative dermatoglyhic features. results show that most of the qualitative features on bilateral and bisexual differences are not significant. however, quantitative features frequently showed significant differences both bilaterally an...

Finger millet is one of the small millets with high nutritive value. This crop is vulnerable to blast disease caused by Pyricularia grisea, which occurs annually during rainy and winter seasons. Leaf blast occurs at early crop stage and is highly damaging. Mapping of resistance genes and other quantitative trait loci (QTLs) for agronomic performance can be of great use for improving finger mill...

This clinical pilot study on finger elongation for induction of hypnosis attempts to determine whether the observed response is a hypnotic phenomenon or a simple physiologic reaction. Sixteen volunteers participated in the 5-phase study, which measured relative and absolute changes in the length of each finger prior to and after each phase. A distinctive elongation was statistically significant...
