In the last years there has been a great interest in cortical bone investigation. In fact cortical bone porosity is considered one of the main parameters which determines bone strength [3, 8]. Even if histology has been the gold standard for the morphometric examination of bone specimens, in the last ten years a new method arose: X-ray microtomography (micro-CT). It permits the non-destructive ...

Real test method of monitoring and tracking micro system for dangerous chemicals transportation has many disadvantages: long test cycle, high test cost, high test risk and bad reproducibility. Aimed at these disadvantages, a simulation platform which can be used for the simulation test of monitoring and tracking micro system is developed. This simulation platform is composed of motion simulator...

PURPOSE Tonometry is widely used as the main screening tool supporting glaucoma diagnosis. Still, its accuracy could be improved if full knowledge about the variation of the corneal biomechanical properties was available. In this study, Optical Coherence Tomography (OCT) speckle statistics are used to infer the organisation of the corneal micro-structure and hence, to analyse its influence on i...

There is a huge demand in the production of microstructures by a non-traditional method which is known as Micro-EDM. Micro-EDM process is based on the thermoelectric energy between the workpiece and an electrode. Micro-EDM is a newly developed method to produce micro-parts which in the range of 50 μm -100 μm. Micro-EDM is an efficient machining process for the fabrication of a micro-metal hole ...

Purpose – The aim of this research is to combine the Taguchi method and hybrid methods of artificial intelligence, to use them as the optimal tool in wire bond designing parameters for an ultra-thin chip scale package (CSP) package, and then construct a set of the optimal parameter analysis flow and steps. Design/methodology/approach – The hybrid methodology of artificial Intelligence was used ...
