Predrilled locking compression plate is more accurate than tension band wiring in restoring articular geometry of the ulnar greater sigmoid notch after olecranon Chevron osteotomy

Alexandre Terrier, Patrick Goetti, Frédéric Vauclair

Introduction: The olecranon Chevron osteotomy (OCO) is commonly used to approach complex intraarticular fractures of the distal humerus. Predrilled tension band wiring (TBW) has historically been used to fix OCO. However, clinical outcomes are burdened by ...

Fiber Bragg grating-based thermometer for drill bit temperature monitoring

Luc Thévenaz, Kenny Hey Tow

The temperature measurement of a drill bit during an implantology drilling process is proposed by using a fiber Bragg grating fitted inside the drill bit. Due to the rotational nature of the drilling process, a free-space fiber-optic rotary joint is used f ...

Development of a novel mechanical micro-engraving method for the high-aspect-ratio microstructures of an advanced window system

Josef Andreas Schuler, André Gabriel Kostro, Jing Gong

A transparent polymer film with embedded micro mirrors is developed, and it can be attached to a window glass pane for daylighting, improving visual comfort and reducing cooling load in buildings by redirecting sunlight. Despite existing cutting-edge techn ...

Delamination monitoring using low frequency stress waves for laminated composites

Zhisheng Yang

Owing to the anisotropy of composite laminates, local responses happens at periphery of the drilled hole even under the same loads. The strain measurement is probably the most sensitive and better option to detect and quantify delamination inside composite ...

High performance dye-sensitized solar cells with inkjet printed ionic-liquid electrolyte

Michael Graetzel, Shaik Mohammed Zakeeruddin

We successfully inkjet printed an ionic liquid electrolyte in the dye-sensitized solar cell (DSSC) as a part of a new cell fabrication sequence that eliminates drilling holes in the DSSC substrates. The inkjet printing of ionic liquid electrolyte does not ...

Experimental analysis of drilling fiber reinforced composites

Paul Xirouchakis, Mihai-Bogdan Lazar

In comparison with metals, long-fiber reinforced composites have a layered structure, with different properties throughout their thickness. When drilling such structures, internal defects like delamination occur, caused by the drilling loads and their unev ...

Measurement of acoustic attenuation in South Pole ice

Xiaoxia Bai, Mathieu Ribordy, Shirit Cohen

Using the South Pole Acoustic Test Setup (SPATS) and a retrievable transmitter deployed in holes drilled for the IceCube experiment, we have measured the attenuation of acoustic signals by South Pole ice at depths between 190 m and 500 m. Three data sets, ...

Strengthening of flat slabs against punching shear using post-installed shear reinforcement

Aurelio Muttoni, Miguel Fernández Ruiz

A significant number of existing flat slabs currently require strengthening against punching shear for safety reasons (the increase of applied loads and deficiencies during design or construction) or to comply with more stringent code requirements. Availab ...
