The last decade has been witness to phenomenal growth in endodontic technology. The introduction of these new technologies has resulted in endodontics becoming easier, faster and most importantly, better. Principal among these is Nickel Titanium (NiTi) rotary instrumentation that results in consistent, predictable, and reproducible shaping. The purpose of this article is to review the design fe...

The original cotton particulates analyzer used stationary screens to separate aerodynamically the coarse and fine dust fractions from small samples of cotton. By replacing stationary with rotary screens that were continuously cleaned, larger supplies of respirable dust were obtained without interruption. A ginned and a waste cotton were used to test two methods of separation: a rotating 38-micr...

Background and aims. During root canal preparation, debris extruded beyond the apical foramen may result in periapical inflammation and postoperative pain. To date no root canal preparation method has been developed that extrudes no periapical debris. The purpose of this study was to identify a system leading to minimal extrusion of debris from the apical foramen. The study was conducted to com...

The fascinating molecular motors ubiquitous in biological systems offer a great source of inspiration for the design of artificial motors and in the quest to achieve controlled movement at the molecular level. Synthetic chemists are involved in the challenging endeavor to exploit ormimic the properties of these intriguingmolecules found in nature. Movement in biological systems can be divided i...

introduction : to evaluate the efficacy of niti mechanical rotary instrumentation and hedstrom file for gutta-percha/sealer removal computed tomography (ct) was utilized in vitro . materials and methods: thirty extracted human single rooted teeth, each with a single canal were selected. the samples were decoronated with a double faced diamond disk to have 17-mm root; teeth roots were instrument...

This clinical report introduces a method for safe retrieval of a broken implant abutment screw. A reverse-tapping rotary instrument has been introduced in the market and is widely used to retrieve broken screws; however, it is difficult to use the rotary instrument unless an access hole for engagement of the rotary instrument is positioned directly on the center of the top of the broken screw r...

This paper proposes a mathematical model of a CNC rotary table driven by a worm gear. The CNC rotary tables are generally utilized as rotary axes of 5-axis machining centres. In this study, a mathematical model which can simulate dynamic behaviours of rotary table is proposed. The model consists of inertia of motor, spur and worm gears, and table. Axial displacement of the worm is also consider...

The fluctuation theorem (FT), which is a recent achievement in non-equilibrium statistical mechanics, has been suggested to be useful for measuring the driving forces of motor proteins. As an example of this application, we performed single-molecule experiments on F1-ATPase, which is a rotary motor protein, in which we measured its rotary torque by taking advantage of FT. Because fluctuation is...

There are two main systems that can be used to coil and uncoil the wires of a wire-driven parallel robots: a rotary motor that turns a drum on which the wire is coiled or a linear motor with a pulley system. The rotary category may be divided into two sub-categories: the system with a spiral guide for the coiling, allowing only layer for the wire and the system without guide, that allows for se...
