In order to estimate the roll angle of a rotating vehicle, an enhanced rotation locked loop (RLL) algorithm is proposed in this paper. The RLL algorithm estimates the roll angle by using the property that the power of the GPS signal measured at the receiver of a rotating vehicle changes periodically. However, in case the received GPS power is decreased, the performance of the conventional RLL algorithm degrades, or it cannot estimate the roll angle anymore, therefore, for operating the RLL algorithm in a weak signal environment, this paper designs a method to increase the signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) by overlapping multiple GPS signals' correlator outputs and a method to compensate the decreased response of a rotation discriminator at low-signal strength. Through computer simulations, the performance of the proposed algorithm is verified and it is shown that the roll angle can be estimated stably even at a weak signal environment down to 29 dB⁻Hz of C/N0.

In response to the rotary ploughing equipment in the stubble land to implement protective operations, the stubble is large in number and strong in toughness, not easy to crush, resulting in rotary ploughing equipment to produce entanglement and increased resistance to rotary ploughing and other issues. In this study, researchers designed a bionic rotary tillage blade (B-RTB) based on the bionic structural equations of the Marmota claw. A straw-soil complex shear performance test was conducted to investigate the effect of straw on soil shear strength.

Background: Lateral semicircular canal BPPV (LC-BPPV) is diagnosed by the head roll test (HRT), in which the head is rotated to move particles in the lateral canal, causing nystagmus. The body roll test (BRT) is performed in a rolling position with the body and head together, which has the advantage of safely rotating the head at the correct angle in both directions. This study aims to assess the diagnostic utility of the body roll test (BRT).

The orientation of the head during the acquisition of cone beam computed tomography (CBCT) is crucial for accurate cephalometric measurements. However, involuntary head movements during the scan can result in misaligned images. This study presents a method to correct the natural head position (NHP) in CBCT skull images after acquisition.

The development of superhydrophobic, waterproof, and breathable membranes, as well as icephobic surfaces, has attracted growing interest. Fluorinated polymers like PTFE or PVDF are highly effective, and previous research by the authors has shown that combining these polymers with electrospinning-induced roughness enhances their hydro- and ice-phobicity. The infusion of these electrospun mats with lubricant oil further improves their icephobic properties, achieving a slippery liquid-infused porous surface (SLIPS).

Introduction: This study aimed to compare the differences in the radiological, clinical, and functional outcomes and the estimated restoration rate of native knee alignment between total knee arthroplasty (TKA) with bi-cruciate stabilized (BCS) and posterior stabilized (PS) design.
Materials And Methods: This retrospective study included consecutive patients between 2020 and 2021 who underwent TKA. The patients were divided into two groups (group I, Journey II BCS TKA [106 knees]; group II, Persona PS TKA [106 knees]) after 1:1 propensity score matching.
