Passive Biotelemetric Detection of Tibial Debonding in Wireless Battery-Free Smart Knee Implants

open access: yesSensors
Aseptic loosening is the dominant failure mechanism in contemporary knee replacement surgery, but diagnostic techniques are poorly sensitive to the early stages of loosening and poorly specific in delineating aseptic cases from infections. Smart implants

Applicability of a new composite amusement ride safety device based on acoustic emission monitoring technology

open access: yesMaterials Research Express
Under the premise of ensuring safety, it is of great significance to realize the lightweight of the non-main load-bearing parts of amusement facilities. The purpose of this study is to study the failure process of a newly designed carbon fiber bumper by ...

Characterization of cement concrete specimens during hydration process with piezoelectric-based smart aggregates

open access: yes, 2014
Characterization of cement concrete during hydration process has been performed using different methods. The determination of initial water-to-cement ratio is one of the challenging tasks since hydration process determines the microstructure of cement ...

Dual-Wavelength Mid-Infrared Generation Using Intracavity Stimulated Raman Scattering of PPLN

open access: yesIEEE Photonics Journal, 2018
We report, to the best of our knowledge, the first demonstration of a continuous-wave, dual-wavelength (DW) mid-infrared optical parametric oscillator (OPO) based on the stimulated Raman scattering (SRS) effect of periodically poled lithium niobate (PPLN)

Non-destructive evaluation of concrete using a capacitive imaging technique : preliminary modelling and experiments [PDF]

open access: yes, 2010
This paper describes the application of capacitive imaging to the inspection of concrete. A two-dimensional finite-element method was employed to model the electric field distribution from capacitive imaging probe, and how it interacts with concrete ...

Active osseointegration in an ex vivo porcine bone model

open access: yesFrontiers in Bioengineering and Biotechnology
Achieving osseointegration is a fundamental requirement for many orthopaedic, oral, and craniofacial implants. Osseointegration typically takes three to 6 months, during which time implants are at risk of loosening.
