How Technology Shaped Modern Surgery

The American Surgeon™, 2018
The history of endoscopy and minimally invasive surgery is the story of technological advances in illumination, optics, and imaging that allowed operations to be performed within the body. After invention of the incandescent bulb by Joseph Swan and Thomas Edison in 1879, the basic design of early cystoscopes remained unchanged during the first half of

Shaping nanomembrane technologies

2010 10th IEEE International Conference on Solid-State and Integrated Circuit Technology, 2010
Shaped nanomembranes offer huge potential for integration of novel devices and device concepts on a single chip. We show that strained nanomembranes can form into long-range-ordered wrinkled patterns on rigid and soft substrates, which is exploited to create nanofluidic channel systems and stretchable/flexible magnetoelectronic devices.

Synthesis Technology of Shaped Reflector

2021 14th UK-Europe-China Workshop on Millimetre-Waves and Terahertz Technologies (UCMMT), 2021
In this paper, the author introduces a physical method of shaped reflector synthesis technology based on NURBS. By comparing with different shaped reflector technologies, the author tries to convince us the usability and superiority of NURBS. At last, the author shows the application of this method in CATR system.

Shaping technology across social worlds

ACM SIGGROUP Bulletin, 2003
In this paper, we draw on theory about social worlds to analyze how different organizational contexts affect groupware adoption. We report on a study of the adoption of data conferencing in a large distributed organization. Our data show that the diffusion process, which was driven by the users, was a result of communication and transformation of the ...
