Development of Aspiration-Assisted End-Cut Coaxial Biopsy Needles
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Needle biopsy procedures, such as fine-needle aspiration and core needle biopsy, are used to extract tissue samples for diagnosis, and collection of larger samples allows for more accurate diagnosis of cancers. The combination ...
Characteristics of Diamond Abrasive Used in Magnetic Abrasive Finishing of Nickel-Based Superalloys
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Nickel-based superalloys have a wide range of high-temperature applications such as turbine blades. The complex geometries of these applications and the specific properties of the materials raise difficulties in the surface ...
Control of Lay on Cobalt Chromium Alloy Finished Surfaces Using Magnetic Abrasive Finishing and Its Effect on Wettability
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Freeform surfaces, including the femoral components of knee prosthetics, present a significant challenge in manufacturing. The finishing process is often performed manually, which leads to surface finish variations. In the ...
Polishing Characteristics of Transparent Polycrystalline Yttrium Aluminum Garnet Ceramics Using Magnetic Field-Assisted Finishing
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Transparent polycrystalline yttrium aluminum garnet (YAG) ceramics have garnered an increased level of interest for high-power laser applications due to their ability to be manufactured in large sizes and to be doped in ...
Force Measurement and Analysis for Magnetic Field–Assisted Finishing
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Magnetic field–assisted finishing (MAF) is used to polish freeform surfaces. The material removal mechanism can be described as a flexible “magnetic brush†that consists of ferromagnetic particles and abrasives that ...
Study of Overlapping Adjacent Jets for Effective Laser-Induced Forward Transfer Printing
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Laser-induced forward transfer (LIFT) is a well-established, versatile additive manufacturing technology for orifice-free printing of highly viscous solutions and suspensions. In order to improve the efficiency of point-wise ...
Blood Cell Adhesion on a Polymeric Heart Valve Leaflet Processed Using Magnetic Abrasive Finishing
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Polymeric heart valves have the potential to improve hemodynamic function without the complications associated with bioprosthetic and mechanical heart valves, but they have exhibited issues that need to be addressed including ...
Measurement of the Friction Force Inside the Needle in Biopsy
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Core needle biopsy (CNB) is widely used in active surveillance, which is the current standard of care for low risk prostate cancers. A longer biopsy sample length may improve the accuracy of diagnosis. To increase the ...
Nanoscale Surface Modifications by Magnetic Field Assisted Finishing
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: A magnetic fieldassisted finishing (MAF) process has been developed to reduce the sidewall surface roughness of the 5–20 خ¼m wide curvilinear pores of microelectromechanical systems micropore Xray optics to <1 nm ...
Recent Advancements in Machining With Abrasives
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: This paper presents the recent advancements and forthcoming challenges for abrasive machining with specific focus on the advancement of industrial applications. The most significant advancement of abrasive machining is in ...
