a fundamental assumption in prosthetic dentistry is that the axis-orbital plane will usually be parallel to the horizontal reference plane. most articulator systems have incorporated this concept into their designs and use orbitale as the anterior reference point for transferring the vertical position of the maxilla to the articulator. clinical observations of cantonese patients suggest that in...

Roll forming process is used for manufacturing sheet metal parts by successive bending and creating the final shape with gradual deformation. In this article, deformation of a pre-punched sheet due to the roll forming process was studied. Two main defects in the roll forming process are ovality of holes and bow defect. The ovality of the hole is influenced by the process parameters including sh...

This thesis addresses sound production in bowed-string instruments from two perspectives: the physics of the bowed string, and bow control in performance. Violin performance is characterized by an intimate connection between the player and the instrument, allowing for a continuous control of the sound via the main bowing parameters (bow velocity, bow force and bowbridge distance), but imposing ...

The dynamics of the frictional force between the bow hair and the string causes the bow to oscillate in its longitudinal direction during the bow stroke. Under certain conditions, such oscillations in the bow enhanced by the bow resonances can be observed in the spectrum of the frictional force between bow and string, and also in the velocity spectrum at the bridge. The present study discusses ...

Bow-tie antenna is one of wideband antennas [1]. It has been reported that the bow-tie antenna has been miniaturized by adding folded elements [2]. In this paper, it is shown that bending the bow-tie antenna with folded elements is effective method for miniaturization. The bent bow-tie antenna with folded elements can be more miniaturized than conventional bow-tie antenna with folded elements, ...

Stringed instrument bowing is a complex coordinative motor skill acquired though years of intense practice. We apply a novel "freezing" analysis to investigate how movement at different joints contributes to bow transport (movement amplitude), stabilization of bow parameters (angle, velocity) during bow movements, and quick reversals of bow direction (acceleration amplitude). Participants were ...

Catamaran added V-like center bow (INCAT) is investigated as a wave-piercing vessel to decrease vertical acceleration and diminish slam events during sea-keeping operation. The catamaran and the vessel bow were modeled and the vertical acceleration of model was validated with experimenal test. The geometry of V-like center-bow such as slope of center bow and elevation from demi-hulls was optimi...

An experimental study of the upper and lower bow force limits for bowed violin strings is reported. A bowing machine was used to perform bow strokes with a real violin bow on steel D and E strings mounted on a rigid monochord and on a violin, respectively. Measurements were systematically performed for 24 values of bow force and 11 values of relative bow-bridge distance at four bow velocities (...
