Full and half-wavelength ultrasonic percussive drills [PDF]
Ultrasonic-percussive drills are a leading technology for small rock drilling applications where power and weight-on-bit are at a premium. The concept uses ultrasonic vibrations to excite an oscillatory motion in a free-mass, which then delivers ...

Reference values of respiratory impedance with impulse oscillometry in healthy Chinese adults [PDF]
Abstract Background: Impulse oscillometry (IOS) is a non-invasive pulmonary function test for measuring respiratory impedance. Available reference equations of IOS indices for adults are limited. The aim of this study was to develop reference equations of IOS indices for Chinese adults.Methods: In a multicentral, cross-sessional study of ...
