Charnley total hip arthroplasty in patients less than fifty years old. A twenty to twenty-five-year follow-up note

We evaluated the results twenty to twenty-five years after ninety-three consecutive, nonselected Charnley total hip arthroplasties performed with cement by the senior one of us in sixty-nine patients who were less than fifty years old at the time of the procedure. Seventy of the seventy-two hips in the living patients were followed radiographically for at least twenty years. Twenty-seven hips (29 per cent) had a revision or a resection of the prosthesis during the follow-up period. The revision or the resection was performed because of aseptic loosening in twenty-one hips (23 per cent), infection in four (4 per cent), dislocation in one (1 per cent), and fracture of the femur in one. Eighteen acetabular components (19 per cent) and five femoral components (5 per cent) were revised because of aseptic loosening, and an additional fourteen acetabular components (15 per cent) and seven femoral components (8 per cent) demonstrated definite or probable radiographic loosening. The present study demonstrates the long-term durability of total hip arthroplasty performed with cement in an active population of patients. The fixation of the femoral component was found to perform better than that of the acetabular component at twenty to twenty-five years after the procedure.

Robust adaptive backstepping control for a class of uncertain nonlinear systems based on disturbance observers

In this paper, a novel robust adaptive control scheme for a class of uncertain nonlinear systems is proposed using disturbance observer and backstepping method.Firstly, a disturbance observer is developed using radial basis function(RBF) neural network.The parameter updated law of the RBF neural network is given for monitoring subsystem disturbance well.The robust adaptive control scheme is then presented with backstepping method based on the designed disturbance observer.Semiglobal uniform ultimate bounded...

Book reviews

In many current semiconductor manufacturing operations, headcount is manually allocated periodically based on man-machine ratio. Attributed to non-optimised allocation of direct labour to operations/machines, considerable productivity loss occurs. The problem is further complicated by some dynamic and uncertain factors such as constantly changing production targets and work in progress, overlapped labour skills, and variability in manufacturing operations and labour absenteeism rates. Motivated by the needs in real practice, this study aims to develop a model for allocating a direct workforce among semiconductor manufacturing operations to meet production targets and maximise labour productivity. This paper presents a two-stage goal programming model for the headcount allocation problem. To enhance the model's pragmatic use, a queueing module is introduced to account for the interferences among the multi-machine operations. Computational experiments are carried out to evaluate the performances of the proposed algorithms and pilot runs are implemented in a factory. Finally, a prototype system is developed and has been proved to be useful in practice.

Design and Comparison of Inductors and Intercell Transformers for Filtering of PWM Inverter Output

This paper presents an original design option dedicated to output-filtered pulsewidth modulation inverters used in uninterruptible power systems, embedded networks, or motor drives operating on long cables. It is based on the coupling of interleaved inverter cells by means of intercell transformers (ICTs) and is characterized by very good dynamic behavior on load transients, which is an important issue in such applications. ICT solutions are compared with the classical interleaved solutions using separate inductors. A specific design method is developed to achieve this comparison based on toroidal core shapes. The results obtained with a 600 V, 7.5 kW inverter show the usefulness of ICT-based designs, especially when nanocrystalline magnetic material is used; high specific power and very good dynamic performances are obtained.     

Design of Intercell Transformers for High-Power Multicell Interleaved Flyback Converter

This paper presents the developments and the results of an analytic method elaborated to design isolated intercell transformers. These particular magnetic components are intended for multicell interleaved flyback converters recently proposed and well-suited to low-voltage, high-power applications. A specific 2-D model to evaluate the winding losses is included in the design process. The results, obtained for standard core shapes, allow defining the ranges of the main parameters, number of cells, and switching frequency, required for future realizations.
