Shim6 is an important multihoming solution. This paper studies shim6 from several perspectives, including shim6 protocol implementation, shim6 mechanism optimization and security enhancement. In order to provide a shim6 research platform, we implement shim6 protocol on the Linux 2.6 platform as one of the first reference implementations. Based on this research platform, we refine the shim6 addr...

The objective of this study was to assess the prevalence of mucositis and peri-implantitis associated with the use of two types of implants-conventional versus platform switching after one year of loading. A longitudinal study of 64 implants in 25 patients was performed. Clinical variables, such as clinical pocket depth and bleeding upon probing, plaque, mobility, gingival recession, clinical a...

This study proposed a novel robust sliding mode control strategy for the stabilized platform of rotary steering drilling system. Firstly, a Nonlinear Disturbance Observer (NDO) which can converge exponentially with suitable design parameters is used to observe the uncertain disturbance of stabilized platform under work condition. Subsequently, sliding mode controller is designed to guarantee th...

Platform switching is the use of smaller diameter abutments on wider diameter implants. It is used as a method of reducing crestal bone loss and maintaining the gingival papillae. Platform switching appears to limit crestal resorption and seems to preserve peri-implant bone levels. A certain amount of bone remodeling one year after final restoration occurs, but significant differences concernin...

In the paper an analogic CNN algorithm is presented for packet selection in a fast packet switching fabric. The algorithm, running on a 64×64 CNN-UM platform, is adaptable for optimal routing in a switch consisting of N input and M output links. The paper also includes a switching time analysis and an example of a 16×16 switching case.

After exposing a submerged implant to the oral environment, bone loss occurs downwards along the implant body and stops at some predefined position. A current area of hot debate is the significance of the implant abutment interface and its influence on crestal bone level in relation to the first thread. In recent years, the microgap which exists at the connection between the implant body and th...

This work describes the synthesis and characteristics of a novel electrochromic ionic liquid (IL) based on a phosphonium core tethered to a viologen moiety. When integrated into a solid-state electrochromic platform, the viologen modified IL behaved as both the electrolyte and the electrochromic material. Platform fabrication was achieved through in situ photo-polymerization and encapsulation o...

2 This research illustrates an advanced wireless switching platform to let users can convey their data through wireless networking by keeping original session. That is, this platform can switch between Wi-Fi and 3G communication channels seamlessly. Such a platform is adapted from the healthcare enterprise to personal health monitoring.

OBJECTIVE The concept of platform switching has been introduced to implant dentistry based on observations of reduced peri-implant bone loss. However, randomized clinical trials are still lacking. This study aimed to test the hypothesis that platform switching has a positive impact on crestal bone-level changes. MATERIAL AND METHODS Two implants with diameters of 4 mm were inserted epicrestal...
