A new approach to numerical characterisation of wear particle surfaces in three-dimensions for wear study [PDF]

, 2012
In the wear and tear process of synovial joints, wear particles generated and released from articular cartilage within the joints have surface topography and mechanical property which can be used to reveal wear conditions. Three-dimensional (3D) particle

A smart mattress for detecting and correcting the prone position: A feasibility study toward night‐time SUDEP prevention

Epilepsia Open, EarlyView.
Abstract Objective Sudden unexpected death in epilepsy (SUDEP) is the leading cause of death in otherwise healthy patients with epilepsy; about 70% occurs during sleep, and nearly 90% of patients are found prone (face‐down). Following a nocturnal seizure, terminal apnea occurs between 2.5 and 10.8 min postictally (median ~ 5 min), defining a narrow but
