This paper describes a proposed CAD graphics application that analyze digital radiography image for preoperative surgery in shoulder hemiarthroplasty. The purpose of designing this application is to aid orthopedic surgeon in preoperative planning phase before surgery, in terms of selecting suitable implant and manipulating the digital radiograph by using various facilities or tools available in...

Most of the developing countries and other underserved segments around the globe are re-inventing the wheel in their efforts to launch eServices -especially in the areas of healthcare, education, economic development, public welfare, and public safety. Due to the unnecessary trial and error, the failure rates in these segments are very high (around 85%). Unfortunately, these segments also lack ...

A mathematical model for studying the passive kinematics of total knee prostheses can be useful in computer-aided planning and guidance of total joint replacement. If the insertion location and neutral length of knee ligaments is known, the passive kinematics of the knee can be calculated by minimizing the strain energy stored in the ligaments at any angular configuration of the knee. Insertion...

How to synthesize molecules is a fundamental and well studied problem in chemistry. However, computer aided methods are still under-utilized in chemical synthesis planning. Given a specific chemistry (a set of chemical reactions), and a specified overall chemical mechanism, a number of exploratory questions are of interest to a chemist. Examples include: what products are obtainable, how to fin...

Although there is significant industrial need for comprehensive computer-aided process planning systems (CAPP), most traditional CAPP solutions have been fragmented in nature. This is because each CAPP domain (assembly, machining, inspection, etc.) has been treated independently. This paper argues in favor of adopting ‘feature-orientation’ as the unifying theme and describes a Generic CAPP Supp...

This paper presents the concepts of the intelligent system for aiding of the module assembly technology. The first part of this paper presents a project of intelligent support system for computer aided assembly process planning. The second part includes a coincidence description of the chosen aspects of implementation of this intelligent system using technologies of artificial intelligence (art...
