RISSome Aircraft Observations of the Scattering Properties of Ice Crystals
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Aircraft?borne radiometer measurements made within three cirrus cloud layers are presented together with associated in situ cloud microphysical data. The angular variation of the observed shortwave radiances is simulated ...
Improved Measurements of the Ice Water Content in Cirrus Using a Total-Water Probe
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: This note describes an improved method for the measurement of the ice water content (IWC) of cirrus cloud using a total water content probe. A previous version of this technique assumed that the air in cloud-containing ...
A Steerable Neuroendoscopic Instrument Using Compliant Contact-Aided Joints and Monolithic Articulation
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: This work presents the design of an articulate neuroendoscopic instrument (ANI), a handheld tool for use in minimally invasive neurosurgery. The instrument consists of a handle and a steerable tube-shaft with a distal ...
Design of a Contact-Aided Compliant Notched-Tube Joint for Surgical Manipulation in Confined Workspaces
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: This work presents a novel miniature contact-aided compliant joint mechanism that can be integrated into millimeter-sized manual or robotic surgical instruments. The design aims to address the trade-off between notched-tube ...
