Low-impact friction materials for brake pads
… cheap materials, pigments, etc. Organic brake pads for disc-brake applications are based on phenolic resin binders, generally it requires three main manufacturing steps: raw material blending, where friction compound components are mixed by blenders. Hot-molding, where blended friction mix is …

Adhesive and frictional tarsal pads in stick insects
… employ two types of smooth attachment pads on their tarsi: the pretarsal arolium, responsible for adhesion, and the tarsal euplantulae, generating friction. These pads function complementarily during locomotion and are supported by secreted tarsal fluid inside the contact area. Although …

Recycling of worn-out vehicular brake pads and discs
… in almost all vehicles for braking. The brake pads and discs are usually replaced with new ones before being entirely worn out to maintain their tribological performance. This work highlights the significance of sustainable and environmentally friendly approaches in refurbishing and producing …

Wireless communication for small floor pads to detect personnel activity
… Internet then to the cloud. We developed carpet pads with four sensors as a source of the sensors data to the data acquisition board. We saved the sensor data with the timestamp on a local PC by using the Node JS code. Next, we sent TCP request to Google, received the request, and displayed it on …

Surface Chemistry Of Application Specific Pads And Copper Chemical Mechanical Planarization
… interface, and hence, slurries and polishing pads play critical role in its successful implementation. The slurry for the Cu-CMP contains chemical components to facilitate the oxidation and removal of excess Cu as well as passivation of the polished surface. During the process, these slurry …

The Effects of Ice Hockey Goaltender Leg Pads on Safety and Performance
… was to understand how ice hockey goaltender leg pads influence both the safety and performance of goaltenders. This was achieved through three projects: quantifying the effect of varying goal pad styles and modifications on goaltender hip kinematics, quantifying goal pad kinematics with respect …

Effect of Age on the Structure of Meissner Corpuscles in Forepad Digital Pads of Mice
<p>Meissner corpuscles in forepaw digital pads of albino mice were examined by light and electron microscopy to determine structural age-changes. After 1.5 months of age, no intraepidermal nerve fibers were seen extending from corpuscles. From young (1.5-6 months) to middle age (9-15 months), …

Physiological and Perceived Psychological Responses of Collegiate Football Athletes to Ventilated Shoulder Pads During a Scrimmage
… the effect of cold air ventilated shoulder pads on core temperature and perceived exertion in football athletes during a scrimmage. METHODS: Eight football athletes were randomly divided into two groups, one receiving cold air ventilation (v) and the other receiving no treatment (nv). …

Test Results for Shaft Tracking Behavior of Pads in a Spherical Pivot Type Tilting Pad Journal Bearing
… assume perfect shaft tracking by the pads. In other words, they neglect pivot friction. In case of pads having point or line contact that operate under most normal load conditions, the pad tilting is due to a rocking motion which is not greatly influenced by friction. Hence this …

Identification of Roles for Peptidylarginine Deiminases (PADs) In Models of Nervous System Regeneration, Assessing Capacities of Pharmacological PAD Inhibitor Application
Human Peptidylarginine deiminases (PADs) comprise five isozymes (PAD1,2,3,4 and PAD6) performing citrullination (deimination) with distinct tissue localisation and target preferences. They are implicated in various inflammatory conditions, including those affecting the central nervous system (CNS). …

Biomechanics of the fibrillar adhesive system in insects
… on their feet. These organs are either soft pads with a relatively smooth surface or dense arrays of microscopic adhesive hairs with both designs having independently evolved in diverse taxa of arthropods and vertebrates. Biological adhesive pads out-perform conventional adhesives in many …

Enhancement of Inductive Power Transfer Technology: Iron-based Nanocrystalline Ribbon Cores
… between the transmitter and receiver pads. Second, the complete standardization of the pad's design has not yet been achieved. Consequently, the interoperability of systems designed by different manufacturers is not yet guaranteed. Third, the detection of foreign objects between the …

A theoretical and experimental investigation of the BTA deep hole tool support in the machining zone
… tools feature the unique use of two support pads and the surrounding hole as a guide bushing to steer itself along the hole being machined. The piloting hole, in conjunction with the two support pads, provides for the tool balance in the hole transverse cross-section. However, in the axial …

Condition monitoring of train wheels using a cost-effective smart rail pad
… out to determine whether the 3D printed rail pads can withstand the typical forces exerted by a passing train. Field tests were done to determine the performance of the smart rail pads in operational conditions. Results indicated that the smart rail pads were able to identify 60 % of the wheel …

Design of a lightweight camping cot using carbon fiber tent poles and ripstop nylon
… not competitive in weight and size with sleeping pads typically used by campers. On average, sleeping pads weigh 2 pounds while the lightest weight camping cot on the market is 5 pounds. In addition, the cot does not collapse to the size of a sleeping pad. These factors prevent cots from being a …

Chitosan Decontamination with Non-Thermal Nitrogen Plasma to Enable Internal Use
… A rat model showed that hemostatic chitosan pads sterilized with electron beam irradiation and NtNP stopped femoral artery and artery/vein bleeding better than pads treated with either treatment alone and equivalent to unsterilized pads. A porcine kidney bleeding model showed that …

The role of PADs in the biogenesis of prostate cancer microvesicles which play a dysfunctional role on DC biology and the therapeutic potential of skeletal muscle microvesicles on prostate cancer cells
Microvesicles (MVs) are small, plasma membrane derived vesicles that are shed constitutively or upon activation from both normal and malignant cells. Apart from physiological roles, MVs have also been implicated to play a role in various pathologies particularly cancer. Aspects of MV biogenesis and …
