We propose a new approach called as a peak time approach for faster detection of step initiation for the lower limb exoskeleton. As faster detection of step initiation is an important criterion in evaluating the lower limb exoskeleton, many studies have investigated approaches to detect step initiation faster, including using electromyography, the center of pressure, the heel-off time and the t...

A Mobile Node (MN) continuously moves in heterogeneous networks. When connections need to migrate between heterogeneous networks for performance and high-availability reasons, seamless vertical handoff is necessary first step. Everyone around the world would like to be connected seamlessly anytime anywhere through the best network. When MN changes its point of access technology handoff occurs. ...

Cf = skin friction coefficient CD = drag coefficient CDf = friction drag coefficient CDp = pressure drag coefficient h = step height M0 = freestream Mach number Patm = atmospheric pressure Pi = stagnation pressure Re = freestream Reynolds number Ti = stagnation temperature U = velocity U = normalized velocity Uτ = friction velocity X = longitudinal coordinate Z = vertical coordinate Z = normali...

We have previously reported a standardized stepwise transesophageal echocardiography transverse plane (monoplane) patient examination sequence suitable for intraoperative use. Biplane transesophageal echocardiography furnishes images of the heart and great vessels in both transverse and vertical planes. This report describes a seven-step vertical plane examination, the completion component of a...

Surface roughness (SR) has an adverse effect on the appearance of low-carbon steel parts, formed in the asymmetric incremental sheet forming (AISF) process, particularly those requiring painting operation. The purpose of this study is to investigate the effects of AISF process parameters on the surface roughness of an asymmetric part formed on low-carbon steel sheets. The parameters are feed ra...

The features of bad flow unit continuity and multiple layers emphesize the importance of a well pattern design for the development of a fluvial-delta reservoir. It is proposed a method to predict well pattern connectivity (WPC) based on the exploration and evaluation of wells. Moreover, the method helps evaluate the risk of well placement. This study initially establishes the parameters for cha...
