OBJECTIVES/HYPOTHESIS Endoscopic ear surgery provides a minimally invasive approach to the middle ear. The disadvantage of endoscopic ear surgery is that it is a single-handed surgical technique. The nondominant hand of the surgeon is utilized for holding and manipulating the endoscope. This necessitated the need for the development of an endoscope holder that would allow both hands to be free ...

Giving birth is a natural process and most women have to go through it. Gynecologist or Midwife usually uses the leg holder to position the cervix in the stitching process. In some part of rural areas in Indonesia, the labor process normally being done at homes by calling in a midwife or gynecologist. The facilities for this kind of labor process is not yet sufficient, as the use of leg holder ...

In this paper, by using the Euler-Maclaurin expansion for the Riemann-$zeta$ function, we establish an inequality of a weight coefficient. Using this inequality, we derive a new reverse Hilbert's type inequality. As an applications, an equivalent form is obtained.

The flame stability limit, which was involving the critical flow condition, lift off and blow out, could be affected by the burner geometry in the combustion system installation. Consequently a flame holder should be put in, to hold the flame as big as possible on a stable condition. The flame holder itself, is a device to hold the flame, whereas the flame holder could disturb the air and fuel ...

We developed an opinion analysis system at NTCIR-6. Our system can detect opinion sentences and extract opinion holders by executing three phases: (1) opinion sentence classification by SVM that distinguishes an opinionated sentence from others, (2) opinion-holder candidate extraction using named entity recognition, (3) opinion-holder detection by rules that find the correspondence between the ...

Objectives: Phlebotomy and venous cannulation are common, technically challenging and potentially distressing procedures in pediatrics. The aim of this pilot study was to assess whether a novel medical equipment holder could be a useful adjunct for venipuncture in children. Methods: Doctors and nurses at a district general hospital were asked to analyze the portable medical equipment holder and...

Spectrum licensing enables quality of service guarantees, but often leads to inefficient use of spectrum. Unlicensed spectrum promotes efficiency through sharing, but quality of service cannot be guaranteed, which is a serious problem for some applications. Such applications may be better served by a real-time secondary market, where secondary users ask the license-holder for temporary access t...
