The objective of this paper is to accurately measure the vibration response tools and hands by simulating hand-held power tools, which are operated astronauts wearing extravehicular spacesuit gloves under microgravity conditions. total value daily exposure subject’s hand obtained. results show that opisthenar more sensitive frequency less than 200 Hz. After weighting, in composite state an unpr...

The spoken language navigation task requires a user to navigate through a virtual landscape (displayed on a monitor) using only natural language, that is, without the use of a mouse or keyboard. This "hands-free/eyes-free" human/computer interaction has been sought after by users who must work in moving vehicles and otherwise disruptive, busy, and distracting conditions. An additional reason fo...

Vibration-reducing (VR) gloves are commonly used as a means to help control exposures to hand-transmitted vibrations generated by powered hand tools. The objective of this study was to characterise the vibration transmissibility spectra and frequency-weighted vibration transmissibility of VR gloves at the palm of the hand in three orthogonal directions. Seven adult males participated in the eva...

The effectiveness of hand immersion in water at 10 degrees C, 20 degrees C and 30 degrees C as a technique for reducing heat strain in Royal Navy (RN) personnel has been investigated at the Institute of Naval Medicine (INM). Four subjects exercised at a moderate work rate, whilst wearing fire fighting clothing in an environmental chamber at 40 degrees C. The subjects reached heat strain safety ...

PURPOSE The aim of this study is to describe the robotic assisted transfer device (RATD) and an initial focus group evaluation by end users. The purpose of the device is to aid in the transfers of people with disabilities to and from their electric powered wheelchair (EPW) onto other surfaces. The device can be used for both stand-pivot transfers and fully dependent transfers, where the person ...

The caudal cingulate motor area (CMAc) and the supplementary motor area (SMA) play important roles in movement execution. The present study examined the neural mechanisms underlying these roles by investigating local field potentials (LFPs) from these areas while monkeys pressed buttons with either their left or right hand. During hand movement, power increases in the high-gamma (80-120 Hz) and...

today, there is an increasing interest in the use of metal nanoparticles in health sciences. amongst all nanoparticles, the gold nanoparticles have been known to kill the cancer cells under hyperthermic condition by near-infrared frequency electromagnetic waves. on the other hand, although there are different physiochemical methods for disinfection of microbial pollution, however applications o...
