Mineral trioxide aggregate (MTA) has been successfully used in endodontic applications because of its unique biocompatibility, antibacterial nature, seal ability, and its capacity to promote hard tissue formation. However, MTA is difficult to use for practitioners because of its properties of granular consistency, long setting time, initial looseness, and unexpected discoloration. Granular form of MTA at the initial stage of blending makes the material hard to aggregate. While a long setting ti...

Every commercial logistic company must deal with inventories and with inventories, companies must execute a time consuming and non-value adding process known as Physical Inventory. It is a necessary process where the warehouse is suspended for a few days to ensure their inventory counts on hand is exact. With an exact count, warehouse management has more precision in handling their goods and planning for future transactions of the inventories. Our solution reduces this tedious and manpower inte...

Prosthetics is part of the field of biomechatronics, which aims to integrate mechanical, electrical and biological systems.  They are typically used to replace appendages lost to injury, missing from birth, or to replace a defective body part.  Prosthetics are important for the improvment to amputees’ lifestyles. This technology presents a 3D printed prosthetic hand and control system for upper limb amputees based on electromyogram (EMG) signal processing. The aim of this study is the extraction...

KUMEL (which means “building” in Japanese) is a new type of intellectual block toy to raise children to think through its building process. KUMEL designer, Prof. Fukada, Graduate School of Education at Ehime University has studied on improvement of child’s cognitive skills. KUMEL is the fruit of his study of over a quarter century. KUMEL makes children not only to think creatively but also to do handwork that helps children to acquire skills with the hands. 9 types of pieces enable the children...

NUS skin model is a novel platform for pharmaceutical and cosmetic industries for screening of novel formulations, drugs, dermal ointments, oral/dental products etc. The fibrin-based scaffold used for fabrication of vascularized dermal equivalent overcomes the limitations associated with other commercially available skin equivalents such as shrinkage of the skin, short-term culture and lack of blood supply. Additionally, the culture and differentiation of cells and development of vascularized ...

Over the years, Singapore has moved up the manufacturing value chain to undertake more complex, higher value-added manufacturing activities and advanced high-mix low volume production. Additive manufacturing (AM) or 3D printing (3DP) is an advanced manufacturing technology which offers a range of unique benefits to the industry. The introduction of 3D additive manufacturing (AM) technology uses layer building approach. It is an idea of producing components directly from computer-aided design fil...

FUJIFILM has applied machine learning technology in big data analysis of images. In the medical field, FUJIFILM has developed, using a unique image recognition algorithm, a high precision 3D image analysis system which uses cross-section from CT or MRI scans to build a highly accurate 3D image. The 3D medical image analysis system identifies organs, blood vessels and bones with high precision in a single click, making various aspects of diagnostic imaging and treatment planning easier and more a...

3D indoor mapping with building information modelling has attracted much attention in the research field recently.  With the possibility of such indoor mapping with precision information of its surroundings, services like surveillance, facility management and building assessment could be made possible. Indoor mapping can be derived from analysis of data such as video images, as in the MIT Smart Rooms project. Accurate object locations can be determined in this way using relatively cheap hardware...
