this paper presents a new control structure to reduce torque ripple in switched reluctance motor. although srm possesses many advantages in motor structure, it suers from large torque ripple that causes some problems such as vibration and acoustic noise. in this paper another control loop is added and torque ripple is de ned as an objective function. by using fuzzy sliding mode strategy, the dc...

The objective of this study was to investigate how the connection of superstructures to implants with different surface properties affects the surrounding bone. The right and left mandibular premolars and molars of 5 dogs were extracted. After 12 weeks, a machined implant was placed mesially and an anodized implant was placed distally on one side of the edentulous jaw, with the positions revers...

Introduction. This study aimed to evaluate the effects of resorbable blasting media (RBM) treatment on early stability of orthodontic mini-implants by mechanical, histomorphometric, and histological analyses. Methods. Ninety-six (64 for mechanical study and 32 for histological study and histomorphometric analysis) titanium orthodontic mini-implants (OMIs) with machined (machined group) or RBM-t...

Ganesh G, Franklin, DW, Gassert R, Imamizu H, Kawato M. Accurate real-time feedback of surface EMG during fMRI. J Neurophysiol 97: 912–920, 2007. First published September 27, 2006; doi:10.1152/jn.00679.2006. Real-time acquisition of EMG during functional MRI (fMRI) provides a novel method of controlling motor experiments in the scanner using feedback of EMG. Because of the redundancy in the hu...

PURPOSE A satisfactory clinical outcome in dental implant treatment relies on primary stability for immediate load bearing. While the geometric design of an implant contributes to mechanical stability, the nature of the implant surface itself is also critically important. Biomechanical and microcomputerized tomographic evaluation of implant osseointegration was performed to compare alternative ...

The biocompatibility of calcium ion (Ca)-incorporated Ti6Al4V alloy implants, produced by hydrothermal treatment using a Ca-containing solution, was investigated. The surface characteristics were evaluated by scanning electron microscopy, thin-film X-ray diffractometry, Auger electron spectroscopy, and stylus profilometry. The viability of MC3T3-E1 cells on Ca-incorporated machined Ti6Al4V surf...

A particle, shaped as an ellipsoid of revolution and rotating about an arbitrary axis, experiences a torque in a rarefied monatomic gas because of the impact with the gas atoms. This torque is calculated for the case where the linear dimensions of the ellipsoid are small compared with the mean free path of the gas. The interaction of the gas atoms with the ellipsoidal surface is taken into acco...

Introduction: The purpose of this study was to compare the accuracy of the torque wrenches used in different dental implant systems. Methods: We evaluated 42 torque wrenches used in different dental clinics in Mashhad, Iran, using a digital torque meter (Mark 10). High (25, 30 and 35 N·cm) and low (15 N·cm) levels of torque were examined. Ten tests were performed on each wrench, and the mean va...

Background and Aim: Maintaining the primary torque of the abutment screw is a common problem related to implant-supported restorations; a failure in this respect often leads to screw loosening. The abutment screw plays a critical role in the long-term stability of restorations. This study aimed to assess the effect of two abutment connection types with and without cyclic loading on removal torq...

A computational model is presented for determining deformations in complexly stressed beams of a structurally non-linear reinforced concrete frame transcendental state caused by special emergency action the form sudden removal one structural elements. The determination stress-strain after formation spatial cracks elements was carried out using calculated section. At same time, dynamic additiona...
