  • A Novel Measurement System for Mechanical Parts

The scanner is used to acquire images of MPs, and a novel measurement procedure is employed, wherein the edge bands of MP images are extracted and then break profiles are fitted and linked to achieve more accurate profiles of MPs. The Sobel filter and image processing techniques are employed to segment edge bands of the MP images. The central moment and polynomial curve fitting are then used to find break profiles in edge bands. Finally, a Bezier curve is employed to link break profiles of edge bands of the images. Experimental results show that the proposed system is accurate and can effectively yield an estimate of the profile of an MP image. This method is immediately applicable in industry to measure MPs because of its simplicity. 1.

Received: 9 March 2010; in revised form: 11 May 2010 / Accepted: 14 May 2010 / Published: 19 May 2010 Abstract: A flexible proximity sensor fully fabricated by inkjet printing is proposed in this paper. The flexible proximity sensor is composed of a ZnO layer sandwiched in between a flexible aluminum sheet and a web-shaped top electrode layer. The flexible aluminum sheet serves as the bottom electrode. The material of the top electrode layer is nano silver. Both the ZnO and top electrode layers are deposited by inkjet printing. The fully inkjet printing process possesses the advantages of direct patterning and low-cost. It does not require photolithography and etching processes since the pattern is directly printed on the flexible aluminum sheet.

Abstract: Since 1995, Taiwan’s National Health Insurance (NHI) has tracked the healthcare data for Taiwan’s entire population. As of July 2019, a total of 2.47 billion medical examination reports have been collected, and the amount of data is very large. To cope with these large amounts of medical expenditure data and move towards the goal of the accurate review, Taiwan’s Ministry of health and welfare began to open its medical imaging database to biotechnology and healthcare firms, using artificial intelligence (AI) to help explain the patient’s CT and MRI results, and take AI as a tool to review health insurance benefits.
