Pelvic floor dysfunction is a common problem in women and has a negative impact ontheir quality of life. The aim of this review was to provide a general overview of the current state oftechnology used to assess pelvic floor functionality. It also provides literature research of the phys-iological and anatomical factors that correlate with pelvic floor health. The systematic review wasconducted according to the PRISMA guidelines. PubMed, ScienceDirect, Cochrane Library andIEEE databases were searched for publications on sensor technology for the assessment of pelvicfloor functionality. Anatomical and physiological parameters were identified through a manualsearch. In the systematic review 115 publications were included. 12 different sensor technologieswere identified. Information on the obtained parameters, sensor position, test activities and subjectcharacteristics were prepared in tabular form from each publication. 16 anatomical and physiologi- cal parameters influencing pelvic floor health were identified in 17 published studies and rankedfor their statistical significance. Taken together, this review could serve as a basis for the develop-ment of novel sensors which could allow for quantifiable prevention and diagnosis, as well as par-ticularized documentation of rehabilitation processes related to pelvic floor dysfunctions.

The PubMed, ScienceDirect, Cochrane Library, and IEEE databases were searched for publications on sensor technology for the assessment of pelvic floor functionality. Anatomical and physiological parameters were identified through a manual search. In the systematic review, 114 publications were included. Twelve different sensor technologies were identified. Information on the obtained parameters, sensor position, test activities, and subject characteristics was prepared in tabular form from each publication. A total of 16 anatomical and physiological parameters influencing pelvic floor health were identified in 17 published studies and ranked for their statistical significance. Taken together, this review could serve as a basis for the development of novel sensors which could allow for quantifiable prevention and diagnosis, as well as particularized documentation of rehabilitation processes related to pelvic floor dysfunctions.
Extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) was established as a treatment for severe cardiac or respiratory disease. Intra-device clot formation is a common risk. This is based on complex coagulation phenomena which are not yet sufficiently understood. The objective was the development and validation of a methodology to capture the key properties of clots deposed in membrane lungs (MLs), such as clot size, distribution, burden, and composition. One end-oftherapy PLS ML was examined. Clot detection was performed using multidetector computed tomography (MDCT), microcomputed tomography (μCT), and photography of fiber mats (fiber mat imaging, FMI). Histological staining was conducted for von Willebrand factor (vWF), platelets (CD42b, CD62P), fibrin, and nucleated cells (4′, 6-diamidino-2-phenylindole, DAPI). The three imaging
methods showed similar clot distribution inside the ML. Independent of the imaging method, clot loading was detected predominantly in the inlet chamber of the ML. The μCT had the highest accuracy. However, it was more expensive and time consuming than MDCT or FMI. The MDCT detected the clots with low scanning time. Due to its lower resolution, it only showed clotted areas but not
the exact shape of clot structures. FMI represented the simplest variant, requiring little effort and resources. FMI allowed clot localization and calculation of clot volume. Histological evaluation indicated omnipresent immunological deposits throughout the ML. Visually clot-free areas were covered with leukocytes and platelets forming platelet-leukocyte aggregates (PLAs). Cells were embedded in vWF cobwebs, while vWF fibers were negligible. In conclusion, the presented
methodology allowed adequate clot identification and histological classification
of possible thrombosis markers such as PLAs.
The use of intrinsically compliant tensegrity structures in manipulation systems is an attractive research topic. In this paper a 3D compliant robotic arm based on a stacked tensegrity structure consisting of x-shaped rigid members is considered. The rigid members are interconnected by a net of prestressed, tensioned members with pronounced intrinsic elasticity and by inelastic tensioned members. The system's motion is achieved by length-change of the inelastic tensioned members. The operating principle of the system is discussed with the help of kinematic considerations and verified by experiments.

Background and objectiveDue to the high prevalence of dental caries, fixed dental restorations are regularly required to restore compromised teeth or replace missing teeth while retaining function and aesthetic appearance. The fabrication of dental restorations, however, remains challenging due to the complexity of the human masticatory system as well as the unique morphology of each individual dentition. Adaptation and reworking are frequently required during the insertion of fixed dental prostheses (FDPs), which increase cost and treatment time. This article proposes a data-driven approach for the partial reconstruction of occlusal surfaces based on a data set that comprises 92 3D mesh files of full dental crown restorations.MethodsA Generative Adversarial Network (GAN) is considered for the given task in view of its ability to represent extensive data sets in an unsupervised manner with a wide variety of applications. Having demonstrated good capabilities in terms of image quality and training stability, StyleGAN-2 has been chosen as the main network for generating the occlusal surfaces. A 2D projection method is proposed in order to generate 2D representations of the provided 3D tooth data set for integration with the StyleGAN architecture. The reconstruction capabilities of the trained network are demonstrated by means of 4 common inlay types using a Bayesian Image Reconstruction method. This involves pre-processing the data in order to extract the necessary information of the tooth preparations required for the used method as well as the modification of the initial reconstruction loss.ResultsThe reconstruction process yields satisfactory visual and quantitative results for all preparations with a root mean square error (RMSE) ranging from 0.02 mm to 0.18 mm. When compared against a clinical procedure for CAD inlay fabrication, the group of dentists preferred the GAN-based restorations for 3 of the total 4 inlay geometries.ConclusionsThis article shows the effectiveness of the StyleGAN architecture with a downstream optimization process for the reconstruction of 4 different inlay geometries. The independence of the reconstruction process and the initial training of the GAN enables the application of the method for arbitrary inlay geometries without time-consuming retraining of the GAN.
Im Betrieb von Förderbändern auftretende Phänomene sind das Bandwandern in Achsrichtung der Walzen und die Bandverformung in der Bandebene [1, S. 142]. Das Bandwandern ist bisher detailliert untersucht [2–4], während die Bandverformung Gegenstand weniger Veröffentlichungen ist. Deshalb wird in diesem Artikel eine Methode zur Berechnung der sich im dynamischen Betrieb einstellenden Verformung eines elastischen Förderbandes vorgestellt. Dazu wird ein Mehrkörpersimulations-Modell basierend auf der Lumped-Mass-Modellierung verwendet. Als Untersuchungsbeispiel dient ein Zwei-Walzensystem mit flexiblen und zylindrischen Walzen, sowie ein flexibles Förderband. Es zeigt sich, dass mit der Lumped-Mass-Modellierung eine dynamische Bandverformung, die von der gewählten Diskretisierung abhängt, berechnet werden kann. Aufgrund dieser Abhängigkeit ist es notwendig eine Konvergenzanalyse durchzuführen. Zusätzlich ist darauf zu achten, dass die künstliche Anregung aufgrund der Lumped-Mass-Modellierung nicht mit einer Eigenfrequenz des Modells zusammenfällt.
Bei der Untersuchung und Optimierung der Getriebedynamik, im Sinne der Akustik und Lastverteilung, wird oftmals der Drehwegfehler als Bewertungskriterium herangezogen. Zahlreiche Forschungsvorhaben haben sich in diesem Zusammenhang intensiv mit dem Drehwegfehler als parametererregte Schwingungsanregung auseinandergesetzt, um diesen im Hinblick auf das Systemverhalten zu optimieren. Dabei bleibt der Zahnfußbereich, welcher außerhalb der Evolvente liegt, und dessen Einfluss auf den Drehwegfehler oftmals unberücksichtigt.
Dieser Artikel untersucht daher den Einfluss des Zahnfußbereiches auf den statischen Drehwegfehler, indem relevante Größen wie das spezifische Kopfspiel und der Fußrundungsradius an einer typischen und real eingesetzten Stirnradverzahnung variiert werden.
Ferner wird betrachtet, inwiefern der Drehwegfehler durch unterschiedliche Geometriedefinitionen (Fertigungssimulation, Zahngeometrie mit vereinfachter sowie stark vereinfachter Modellierung des Zahnfußbereichs) beeinflusst wird. Die Autoren nutzen hierfür zwei FE-Ansätze (adaptives und nicht-adaptives Netz) und bewerten diese hinsichtlich ihrer Gültigkeit, Modellgüte und Praktikabilität.
Die Ergebnisse der Untersuchungen werden hinsichtlich einer minimal erforderlichen Geometrie des Zahnfußbereiches interpretiert. Für den Praxistransfer wird einerseits der maximale Fehler bei Nichtberücksichtigung des gesamten Zahnfußbereichs beziffert.
Andererseits wird eine Empfehlung zur Anpassung einer vereinfachten Geometrie, an eine Geometrie, ähnlich der aus einer Fertigungssimulation, gegeben. Weiterhin wird der Artikel diskutieren, ob man ein vereinfachtes Zahnmodell zur Berechnung der Getriebedynamik nutzen kann, wenn der Fertigungsprozess noch nicht definiert ist.
