recurrent dislocation is not common in small joints. this report presents a new case of chronic recurrent dislocation of proximal interphalangeal joint of the finger in which soft tissue injuries have a role in the dislocation. the patient was a 23 years old man who had referred to our center because of recurrent dislocation of proximal interphalangeal joint of his right ring finger during spor...

This paper presents a single-stage ZVT full-bridge AC/DC converter for aerospace applications. The detailed operating principle and design consideration of this soft-switched converter are analyzed and described. The proposed circuit topology and control scheme are proposed to exhibit optimum performances (i.e. high power factor, high efficiency, ring-free and low EMI features). A laboratory pr...

We present an analog rotating ring decoder for decoding an LDPC convolutional code. The decoder architecture uses a window of soft received L-values K time units in the past and K time units in the future to decode a given bit. The window of 2K + 1 time units is arranged in a ring structure, and decoding proceeds in a continuous fashion by rotating around the ring. Simulation results indicate p...

The Soft Constraints idea is able to capture many real life situations that cannot be represented and solved with the classical crisp constraint framework. Several extensions were proposed in the last years, but we show that we can use One Ring to rule them all, One Ring to find them, One Ring to bring them all and in the darkness bind them.

PURPOSE The purpose of this study was to evaluate the efficacy of bone ring augmentation technique for three-dimensional augmentation of severely defective sockets along with placement of immediate dental implants. MATERIALS AND METHODS A clinical study was conducted on 14 patients with 15 defective sockets requiring extractions and immediate implant placement. Following extraction, bone ring...

In this work, we assess the performance of a ring oscillator and a DRAM cell when they are implemented with different technologies (planar CMOS, FinFET and III-V MOSFETs), and subjected to different reliability scenarios (variability and soft errors). FinFET-based circuits show the highest robustness against variability and soft error environments.

The synchrotron radiation facility NewSUBARU has been constructed in SPring-8 site and user experiments have been started since February 2000. The 1.5 GeV electron storage ring with circumference of 119m produces soft X-ray synchrotron radiation. The present status of the storage ring and the facility is presented.
