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...

differential diagnosis is needed. Kraus et al. [3] examined 27 cases of xanthogranuloma. The mononuclear and xanthoma cells and most of the Touton cells exhibited reactivity for fascin and CD68, although 26 of 27 were reactive for HLA-DR, 25 of 27 for factor XIIIa, 25 of 27 for CD45, and 21 of 27 for CD4. None of the cases showed reactivity for CD1a, CD3, CD21, CD34, or CD35 [3]. When the patie...

INTRODUCTION Internal fixation of diaphyseal fracture of shaft of femur in an adult by Kuntscher nail is the most common operative method of treatment in Nepal where operative facilities for the same exist. Since the complete range of K-nail sizes and length are not available in most operation theatres in Nepal, most orthopaedic surgeons assess the size and length of the K-nail pre-operatively ...

We experimentally study the effects of normal stress differences in immiscible radial viscous fingering instability a Hele–Shaw cell. Dilute low molecular weight poly(ethylene oxide) (PEO) solutions are used as displaced fluid to focus on elastic without shear-thinning behavior. The PEO is varied investigate differences. experimental observations reveal that nonmonotonic and opposing evident de...

Personal identification approaches using finger knuckle patterns are receiving increasing attention in the biometrics literature. Several approaches have been explored and these methods consider knuckle patterns as textured-like patterns, similar to the iris, and illustrate promising results. However much of the law-enforcement and forensic analysis for hand biometrics still relies on recovery ...
