The viscosity of nonsolid foods and the stability of their viscosity over time is critical in
managing dysphagia. The time-dependent viscosity of liquids thickened with starch-based …

BACKGROUND: The optimal treatment of pectus carinatum (PC) deformities is unclear. We
propose a nonoperative approach using a lightweight, patient-controlled dynamic chest-…

This paper presents novel tools to assist manual assembly in an virtual environment. While
assembling virtual components, the user's actions are logged and an assembly plan is …

The viscosity of starch-thickened foods is critical in managing dysphagia (impaired swallowing).
These fluids are highly non-Newtonian and exhibit thixotropic behaviour. The thixotropy …

The preparation of assembly plans for manufactured goods is a major bottleneck in the time
it takes to bring many new products to market. Computer aided assembly planning (CAAP) …

The system design and results of a user evaluation of Co-Star an immersive design system
for cable harness design is described. The system used a stereoscopic head mounted …

Earlier research work using immersive virtual reality (VR) in the domain of cable harness
design has shown conclusively that this technology had provided substantial productivity gains …

Current computer-aided assembly systems provide engineers with a variety of spatial
snapping and alignment techniques for interactively defining the positions and attachments of …

Assessments of scoliosis are routinely done by means of clinical examination and full spinal
x-rays. Multiple exposure to ionization radiation, however, can be hazardous to the child …

Background Recovery following a stroke is a long and ongoing process. Post-stroke follow-up
after leaving the hospital is recommended. Methods for follow-up patients include face-to-…
