Following the idea of $L$-fuzzy neighborhood system as introduced byFu-Gui Shi, and its generalization to $(L,M)$-fuzzy neighborhood system, the relationship between  $(L,M)$-fuzzy topology and $(L,M)$-fuzzy neighborhood system will be further studied. As an application of the obtained results, we will describe the initial structures of $(L,M)$-fuzzy neighborhood subspaces and $(L,M)$-fuzzy top...

This report compares the radiologic and early clinical results of total knee arthroplasty (TKA) performed by the same surgeon using 3 techniques. In this prospective study, 75 knees were randomized to conventional technique (25 knees), image-free navigation system (25 knees), or minimally invasive surgery (MIS) (25 knees). Age range of the 43 women (65 knees) and 5 men (10 knees) was 58 to 81 y...

An improved coarse alignment (ICA) algorithm is proposed in this paper with a focus on improving alignment accuracy of odometer-aided strapdown inertial navigation system (SINS) under variable velocity and variable acceleration condition. In the proposed algorithm, the outputs of inertial sensors and odometer in a sampling interval are linearized rather than assumed to be a constant, which impr...

The initial alignment of the Inertial Measurement Unit (IMU) is an important process of INS to determine the coordinate transformation matrix which is used in the integration of Global Positioning Systems (GPS) with Inertial Navigation Systems (INS). In this paper a novel alignment method for a disturbed base, such as a vehicle disturbed by wind outdoors, implemented with the aid of a Vondrak l...

This work deals with error models for trident quaternion framework proposed in the companion paper (Part I) and further uses them to investigate odometer-aided static/in-motion inertial navigation attitude alignment land vehicles. By linearizing kinematic equation, left right are obtained, which found be equivalent those derived from profound group affine. The two used design their correspondin...

In total hip arthroplasty (THA), combined anteversion (CA), the sum of cup anteversion (AV) and stem antetorsion (AT) are used as parameters to assess the appropriateness of overall prosthetic alignment. In this study, we evaluated the CA value based on the post-operative computed tomography (CT) measurements in our patient population who underwent THA using the OrthoPilot™ image-free navigatio...
