Newly available materials for retrograde obturation should have their sealing properties evaluated. The goal of this study was to evaluate the sealing ability of Endo CPM sealer, an MTA-based endodontic cement. Single-rooted extracted human teeth were endodontically treated. After apical sectioning, retrograde cavities were prepared. Teeth were divided into five experimental groups (n=12), in w...

Sealing treatment is a post-surface of the plasma spray coating process to improve corrosion resistance material. In this study, effect sealing on and adhesive strength spray-coated alumina coatings was analyzed. For sealing, an epoxy resin applied surface coated specimen using brush. The subjected salt test for up 48 hours microstructural analysis revealed that in layer/base material interface...

Because current remote monitor systems can’t deal with problems of real-time transmissions in the bad condition of network very well, this article presents a study which is combined with the evaluation of video streams, adjustment and sealing user-defined data pockets and discarding useless data pockets. The goal of this solution is to transmit video information of national grain depot. And its...

In 2003, Bechmann-Pasquinucci introduced the concept of quantum seals, a quantum analogue to wax seals used to close letters and envelopes. Since then, some improvements on the method have been found. We first review the current quantum sealing techniques, then introduce and discuss potential applications of quantum message sealing, and conclude with some discussion of the limitations of quantu...

Although many hydrologic changes induced by teleseismic waves have been reported, the mechanism(s) responsible for the changes are usually not known. Permeability changes induced by seismic strains are often invoked to explain changes in water level. Using water-level data in Taiwan after the 2008 Wenchuan earthquake, we show here that the observations cannot be properly explained by previously...

INTRODUCTION Ultrasonic energy is a mainstay in the armamentarium of surgeons, providing multifunctionality, precision, and control when dissecting and sealing vessels up to 5 mm in diameter. Historically, the inability to seal vessels in the 5-7 mm range has been perceived as an inherent limitation of ultrasonic technology. The purpose of this study was to evaluate sealing of vessels up to 7 m...

This paper presents investigations of two special cases of dynamic valve analysis. These special cases arose in the development of a new type of gas field reciprocating compressor. These special cases were for a moving frame of reference (since the discharge valves were integral with the piston) , and for independent mass damping {sealing/damping elements are modelled separately instead of as "...

This thesis treats the development of packaging and integration methods for the cost-efficient encapsulation and packaging of microelectromechanical (MEMS) devices. The packaging of MEMS devices is often more costly than the device itself, partly because the packaging can be crucial for the performance of the device. For devices which contain liquids or needs to be enclosed in a vacuum, the pac...
