AIM To determine the sensitivity and specificity of three newly developed pulse oximeters in the detection of hyperoxaemia, defined as an arterial partial pressure of oxygen (PaO(2)) of > 80 mm Hg. METHODS SpO(2) readings from three oximeters (Agilent Viridia (AgV), Masimo SET (MaS), Nellcor Oxismart (NeO)) were documented in 56 infants (median gestational age at birth 35.5 weeks, range 24-41...

Objective: To describe the management options for exposed silicone Ahmed glaucoma valve (AGV) implant. Methods: This was carried out as a retrospective chart review at a tertiary care eye hospital in Southern India. Medical records of six subjects managed for AGV exposure from 2006 to 2013 were reviewed. Results: All six eyes had explantation of the AGV and 3 of them had reimplantation in a dif...

OBJECTIVE To evaluate the long-term outcomes of a surgical technique using a sutureless bovine pericardial patch graft for the implantation of an Ahmed glaucoma valve (AGV). 
 METHODS This was a pilot study on patients with primary open-angle glaucoma refractory to repeated surgical filtering procedures. All patients underwent AGV implant technique using a sutureless bovine pericardial patch ...

Order picking is a crucial operation in the storage industry, with significant impact on efficiency and cost. Responding quickly to customer demands shortening time given random nature of order arrival times quantities. This paper presents study order-picking process distribution center, employing “parts-to-picker” system, based dynamic batching task optimization. Firstly, arriving orders uncer...

a tandem agv configuration connects all cells of a manufacturing area by means of non-overlapping, sin-gle-vehicle closed loops. each loop has at least one additional p/d station, provided as an interface between adjacent loops. this study describes the development of three tabu search algorithms for the design of tandem agv systems. the first algorithm was developed based on the basic definiti...

The emergence of Automated Guided Vehicle (AGV) has greatly increased the efficiency transportation industry, which put forward urgent requirement for accuracy and ease use 2D planar motion robot positioning. Multi-sensor fusion positioning gradually become an important technical route to improve overall when dealing with AGV As a sensor directly acquiring depth, RGB-D camera received extensive...

we compare two approaches for a markovian model in flexible manufacturing systems (fmss) using monte carlo simulation. the model which is a development of fazlollahtabar and saidi-mehrabad (2013), considers two features of automated flexible manufacturing systems equipped with automated guided vehicle (agv) namely, the reliability of machines and the reliability of agvs in a multiple agv jobsho...

PURPOSE To determine the outcome of needling with adjunctive 5-fluorouracil (5-FU) in patients with a failing Ahmed glaucoma valve (AGV) implant, and to identify predictors of long-term intraocular pressure (IOP) control. METHODS A prospective observational study was performed on consecutive patients with medically uncontrolled primary open-angle glaucoma (POAG) with AGV encapsulation or fibr...

The Mecanum automated guided vehicle (AGV), which can move in any direction by using a special wheel structure with a LIMwheel and a diagonally positioned roller, holds considerable promise for the field of industrial electronics. A conventional method for Mecanum AGV localization has certain limitations, such as slip phenomena, because there are variations in the surface of the road and ground...

PURPOSE To evaluate the efficacy and safety of Ahmed Glaucoma Valve (AGV) implantation with adjunctive use of preserved amniotic membrane for surgical management of refractory glaucoma. METHODS Seven patients (5 female subjects) with refractory glaucoma were included in the study. An AGV (model FP7) was implanted in the usual manner and was covered with two layers of cryopreserved human amnio...
