Design and Implementation of User Level Socket Application Programming Interface with Socket Splitting and Mediation
… have been limited by dependence on traditional sockets and TCP, which provide no support for modifying endpoints after connection setup. This forces applications to implement their own logic to reroute communications to take advantage of composable services or handle failover. Some solutions …

Prosthetic socket design : from a multi-indenter device for in vivo biomechanical tissue measurement to a quasi-passive transtibial socket interface
The prosthetic socket, the mechanical interface between an amputated residuum and an external prosthesis, is of critical importance to the performance of a prosthetic limb system. Conventional prosthetic socket technology is derived using a non-quantitative, artisan methodology. Consequently, a …

Explorations into protein structure with the knob-socket model
… packing of amino acid side-chains. The knob-socket model attempts to organize side-chain packing into tetrahedral packing motifs. This tetrahedral motif is characterized with a three residues on the same secondary structure forming the base of the tetrahedron packing with a side-chain from a …

An Analysis of PISCES (Platform Independent Socket ClassES) as a Teaching Tool.
… APIs. One important set of communication APIs, socket APIs, are commonly used for coding C++ network applications. Socket APIs, unfortunately, are difficult to master, due to their procedural nature and inherent complexity. PISCES (Platform Independent Socket ClassES), is a C<sup>++</sup> socket …

Lubrication in the ball and socket joint of a swash plate mechanism
The tribology of the ball and socket on the connecting rod in a swash plate engine is studied in the hydrodynamic regime. The engine operates at 1390rpm with an axial load on the rod as high as 1 x 10⁴N. The instantaneous load and kinematics from a previous study for a swash plate engine was used …

Effects of a powered ankle prosthesis on shock absorption and residual limb/socket interface pressure
… on both limbs, and discomfort at the stump/socket interface. State of the art; passive prostheses have improved many negative consequences associated with lower-limb loss, but we believe the limit of uninformed elastic prostheses has been reached. Further strides require a more biomimetic …

The use of a novel residuum model to design a variable-impedance transtibial prosthetic socket
… living with limb amputation, the prosthetic socket - the interface between the residuum and prosthesis - is the most critical component. When a socket is uncomfortable, especially due to poor fit, the quality of life for a patient is greatly hindered. However, conventional design of sockets …

The Effect of Tooth Presence on Identification of Tooth Socket Lamina Dura Surface: A CBCT Study
… bone surface, facial and lingual bone margins, socket apex, as well as in facial bone thickness measurement. Materials & Methods: Three fresh cadaver heads were scanned using a NewTom 5G CBCT at 0.100 mm voxel size at three time-points: before extraction (T1), after extraction and reinsertion …

Realization of a Measuring Device for Recordning the Relative Movement between Residual Limb and Prosthetic Socket
… motion between residual limb and prosthetic socket is an indication of poor fit. Both the fabrication and fitting processes are highly subjective and a favorable result depends upon the technician's expertise. Although numerous methods exist to measure the relative motion, all have …

The effect of socket design on the reliability of EMG signal transduction in trans-radial myoelectric prostheses
… have suggested that the fit and/or design of the socket could be a contributing factor in the disruption of prosthesis control by introducing uncertainty and motion artefacts into the control system. However, there is currently no definitive prescription criterion that determines the effect that …

Performance evaluation of an ensemble neural network system of estimating transtibial prosthetic socket pressures during standing, walking and condition perturbation.
Providing suitable prosthetic sockets for the restoration of function following lower-limb amputation remains a significant issue in medical device prescription. Poorly designed sockets are associated with discomfort, poor quality function and injury, with quality linked to the capability of the …
