Connaissant la distance entre les deux bobines, la puissance d'alimentation necessaire au dispositif implante, la resistance equivalente statique de ce dernier, la tension maximale et la frequence de la source externe, ainsi que les formes des deux bobines, nous utilisons une methode numerique d'optimisation pour le calcul du transfert optimal de puissance vers la bobine secondaire

Le systeme encourage le sujet a degager ses points d'appui a intervalles de temps reguliers. L'appui est controle par un capteur pneumatique et les signaux de prevention sont fournis par un synthetiseur vocal. Cette recherche originale est motivee par l'absence sur le marche de dispositifs efficaces permettant de reduire de facon suffisante la pression. Des tests cliniques ont ete effectues sur des sujets paraplegiques volontaires pour evaluer les performances du systeme

Cette mesure au niveau du femur ne peut s'envisager que par l'utilisation d'un capteur mesurant les deformations osseuses, associe a un systeme electronique de telemesure. Cet article presente un nouveau type de capteur de deformation, ayant un faible encombrement et s'implantant directement sur la surface osseuse par un unique point d'ancrage

Celle-ci peut etre realisee a partir de differents materiaux ou materiels: composite, kevlar, fil metallique et composite, verrous et fil orthodontique. Cependant le controle des mouvements dentaires parasites lie a l'utilisation de materiels orthodontiques pour la realisation d'une contention, semble peu etudie. Le but de ce travail est d'elaborer un capteur pour juger la neutralite d'un arc de contention apres sa mise en place. La conception de celui-ci fait appel aux theories de la resistance des materiaux et aux methodes d'analyse des contraintes (plus particulierement a l'extensometrie) qui permettent a partir de l'enregistrement des deformations de connaitre la charge appliquee

The acquisition process is automatic, so that no interaction by the operator is necessary. The system is based on the so-called `rotational method' and is conceived such that it can be used with virtually any existing echograph. The 2D images are provided in a digitized form and can be used instantly for further processing

Most reconstruction methods presented so far, first define a three-dimensional matrix representing the final volume. In this volume the measured 2D data sets are placed. Then the object is reconstructed by filling the “empty space” using different

At present it is not possible to measure the absorption and scattering coefficient separately by using an endoscopic sensor based upon the backscattering phenomenon. In this paper, we propose a solution to this problem. We present a new model derived from Kubelka and Munk's theory, which is known to be suitable for the description of optical phenomena in tissue. Then we apply an algorithm often used in signal processing, the Auto Regressive with eXternal input or ARX model, which allows us to determine both optical coefficients separately. A first validation is done by numerical simulation, then measurements with phantoms were done. The results of both tests prove the model to be reliable and effective.

Past studies of the mechanical properties of dental splints have only been interested in their flexibility and not passivity. The purpose of this study is to determine the passivity of splints constructed from orthodontic materials. A specific data acquisition system, with a 2D transducer, is developed for evaluation of its neutrality. The transducer detects the displacements of the splinted tooth generated by the splint. The splints are constructed with 0.406 mm round, straight or Arch Blank preformed stainless-steel wires, with 0.559 mm standard edgewise brackets and with 0.254 mm stainless-steel or 3.05 mm elastomeric ligatures. Results show that mean output voltages generated by the splints range from 1.13 V to 2.48 V. The best control of passivity is obtained with the splints constructed with a preformed archwire and with elastomeric ligatures (p < 0.05), and the worst control is obtained with those constructed with a straight wire and with stainless-steel ligatures (p < 0.05).
