DESIGN AND ROLLING ANALYSIS OF A NOVEL DEFORMABLE POLYHEDRON ROBOT

Design and Rolling Analysis of a Novel Deformable Polyhedron Robot

In this paper, a new rolling robot is proposed.The mechanism of the robot consists of eight links with three degrees of freedom (DOFs).The shape of each link of the robot is an Garbage Cans/Bins equilateral triangle.The robot realizes its direction switching function by deforming into different modes of planar parallelogram mechanisms (PPM).In any

Insulin-loaded polymeric mucoadhesive nanoparticles: development, characterization and cytotoxicity evaluation

Abstract Mucoadhesive nanoparticles are particularly interesting for delivery through nasal or pulmonary routes, as an approach to overcome the mucociliary clearance.Moreover, these nanoparticles are attractive for peptide and protein delivery, particularly for insulin to treat diabetes, as an alternative to conventional parenteral administration.T

A metal artifact reduction algorithm in CT using multiple prior images by recursive active contour segmentation.

We propose a novel metal artifact reduction (MAR) algorithm for CT images that completes a corrupted sinogram along the metal trace region.When metal implants are located inside a field of view, they create a barrier to the transmitted X-ray beam due to the high attenuation of metals, which significantly degrades the image quality.To fill in the me
