Tibiofibular syndesmotic injuries may cause degenerative changes, reduction in ankle function and compromising stability. Different fixation techniques try to restore its functionality. Screw-fixation is the gold-standard. Recently, suture-button has aroused attention because it allows for physiologic micromotion while maintaining an accurate reduction. The aim of this study compare biomechanic...

An evaluation of design-relevant perceptual cues for the design of touch screens is presented. Button form (round and rectangular) and button extensions (height and size) were examined. For each of the two forms and with size and height as perceptual cues, we estimated perceptual threshold in terms of pixels. Using a within-group experimental design and four conditions, 12 subjects were present...

Arthroscopic posterior bone block procedure using cortical screws has been reported since 2012 for management of recurrent instability associated with defects. To avoid screw complications, we describe a full arthroscopic technique based on button fixation. With 4 portals (posterior, poster lateral, anterior, and anterolateral), use specific glenoid guiding system (to perform 2 tunnels) buttons...

In this paper, we describe a playable musical interface for tablets and multi-touch tables. The interface is a generalized keyboard, inspired by the Thummer, and consists of an array of virtual buttons. On a generalized keyboard, any given interval always has the same shape (and therefore fingering); furthermore, the fingering is consistent over a broad range of tunings. Compared to a physical ...

This paper presents a robust and reliable method for a mobile robot to get on/off an elevator in a multistory building. Getting on/off the elevator requires the robot to perform two different tasks: a recognition task and a navigation task. First, we propose a recognition algorithm for the elevator buttons and status so that the robot reacts flexibly to the current elevator status. We first app...

Children are sensitive to whether informants provide sufficient information for accurate learning (Gweon et al., 2011). Do children think that informants should always provide as much information as possible? Here we show that children consider other’s prior knowledge and the cost of information to decide how much information is appropriate. We showed children toys that had 20 identical buttons...

BACKGROUND To perform lamellar keratolimbal allograft transplantation in a one-step procedure with a single graft, we investigated the feasibility of harvesting eccentric lamellar keratolimbal grafts from conventionally processed corneoscleral buttons using a manually guided microkeratome in conjunction with an artificial anterior chamber system. METHODS We used the Moria LSK-One microkeratom...
