The purpose of this paper is to acquire the remote electrical parameters like Voltage, Current and Apparent Power and send these real time values over GSM network using GSM Modem. This facilitates the remote monitoring of these parameters without any geographical constraints, since a GSM module is used. Real time power monitoring system relate generally to the field of electric energy consumpti...

Efficient plaque control is an important factor in the maintenance of dental health during fixed orthodontic appliance therapy (Zachrisson, 1976; Mitchell, 1992; Atack et al., 1996). These patients are at higher risk of developing white spot lesions (Zachrisson, 1976; O’Reilly and Featherstone, 1987) and gingival inflammation (Legott et al., 1984; Huser et al., 1990) due to the altered oral hyg...

Objectives Tooth rotation is one of the most prevalent dental anomalies. Early management of rotated teeth would prevent possible occlusal interferences. The purpose of this case report was to introduce a fixed-removable appliance, which can efficiently correct severely rotated anterior teeth in a short duration of time in mixed dentition period. Case A 7-year-old boy with a Class I malocclusi...

In the last decades, home energy consumption has increased significantly due to increasing load demand in the residential sector. This paper presents a home energy management (HEM) algorithm to manage the home appliances in a house during a demand response (DR) event. The developed algorithm considers load appliances according to customer preference setting, priority of appliance, and comfortab...

Orthodontists from different backgrounds may have different opinions about removable and fixed orthodontic appliances, but there have been few objective comparisons of their relative treatment effectiveness. It is the purpose of the present study to analyze objectively the effectiveness of these two types of appliances. Eighty cases involving patients who had been treated with removable applian...

For the purpose of energy efficiency, automation and consumption visualization, an increasing number of sensors like power meters, temperature sensors, and CO2 sensors, are installed in private households. Such a monitored household, the Energy Smart Home Lab (ESHL), was built on the campus of KIT for research on energy management systems [1]. In addition to ambient temperature and thermal flow...

OBJECTIVE To evaluate an adjustable mandibular positioning appliance for treatment of snoring and sleep apnea. METHODS One hundred thirty-four patients with baseline apnea/hypopnea index (AHI) of 37 +/- 28 events/h (mean +/- SD) received the appliance. The efficacy of the appliance was assessed by the following investigations, performed at baseline and with the appliance: polysomnography, Epw...
