Comparison of Ultrasound Energy Delivered to the Anterior Segment Across Different Phacoemulsification Surgical Platforms by Nelson TK, Ricks RG, Cardenas IA, Whitaker T, Jensen JL, Olson RJ, Pettey JH

“…The most common surgical technique used to remove cataracts is called phacoemulsification (phaco), which utilizes ultrasound energy to break up and remove cataracts.Utilizing phaco to emulsify cataracts is safe and effective; however, because of the delicate nature of the structures in the eye, the amount of ultrasound energy delivered during the surgery is an important consideration to avoid adverse outcomes.There are a variety of phaco platforms (machines) used for cataract surgery. …”

Statistical Parametric Mapping Differences in Muscle Recruitment Patterns Between Comfort- and Performance-Oriented Saddle Positions by Sławomir Winiarski, Adam Kubiak, Adam Paluszak

“…The Statistical Parametric Mapping (SPM) method was also used to analyse muscle activity throughout the pedalling cycle. The results revealed that the customised position significantly reduced EMG activity in muscles, particularly during key pedalling phases, significantly improving rider comfort and muscle efficiency. …”

Hands-Free Maneuvers of Robotic Vehicles via Human Intentions Understanding Using Wearable Sensing by Weitian Wang, Rui Li, Longxiang Guo, Z. Max Diekel, Yunyi Jia

“…Intelligent robotic vehicles are more and more fully automated, without steering wheels, gas/brake pedals, or gearshifts. However, allowing the human driver to step in and maneuver the robotic vehicle under specific driving requirements is a necessary issue that should be considered. …”
