Video-Rate Identification of High-Capacity Low-Cost Tags in the Terahertz Domain.

In this article, we report on video-rate identification of very low-cost tags in the terahertz (THz) domain. Contrary to barcodes, Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) tags, or even chipless RFID tags, operate in the Ultra-Wide Band (UWB). These THz labels are not based on a planar surface pattern but are instead embedded, thus hidden, in the volume of the product to identify.

Guided Electromagnetic Wave Technique for IC Authentication.

Counterfeiting of an Integrated Circuit (IC) has become a significant concern for electronics manufacturers, system integrators, and end users. It is necessary to find a robust implementation that is efficient, low cost, and noninvasive in detection and avoidance of ICs counterfeiting. In this paper, we introduce the concept of using a guided radiofrequency (RF) wave technique to authenticate ICs.

Total hip replacement for Paget's disease of the hip.

We reviewed our experience with total hip replacement for coxarthrosis due to Paget's disease. The clinical and radiographic results in twenty-one patients who had a total hip replacement between October 1972 and February 1982 were analyzed. The ages of the patients averaged 68.

Osteonecrosis of the femoral head and condyle in the post transplantation courses of children and adolescents.

The clinical courses of 29 children and adolescents who received their first renal allografts at the University of Florida from 1973 to 1979 were reviewed for the development of osteonecrosis. A minimum follow-up period of 24 months with adequate allograft function was required for inclusion in the study. The incidence of post transplantation osteonecrosis was 21%.
