To examine segment and joint attitudes when using image-based motion capture, it is necessary to determine the rigid body transformation parameters from an inertial reference frame to a reference frame fixed in a body segment. Determine the rigid body transformation parameters must account for errors in the coordinates measured in both reference frames, a total least-squares problem. This study presents a new derivation that shows that a singular value decomposition-based method provides a total least-squares estimate of rigid body transformation parameters. The total least-squares method was compared with an algebraic method for determining rigid body attitude (TRIAD method). Two cases were examined: case 1 where the positions of a marker cluster contained noise after the transformation, and case 2 where the positions of a marker cluster contained noise both before and after the transformation. The white noise added to position data had a standard deviation from zero to 0.002 m, with 101 noise levels examined. For each noise level, 10 000 criterion attitude matrices were generated. Errors in estimating rigid body attitude were quantified by computing the angle, error angle, required to align the estimated rigid body attitude with the actual rigid body attitude. For both methods and cases, as the noise level increased the error angle increased, with errors larger for case 2 compared with case 1. The singular value decomposition (SVD)-based method was superior to the TRIAD algorithm for all noise levels and both cases, and provided a total least-squares estimate of body attitude.

The paper proposes a multi-rigid-body system state identification method based on self-healing model in order to improve the accuracy and reliability of CNC machine tools. Firstly, considering the influence of the joint surface, the Lagrange method is used to establish the mechanical model of the multi-rigid-body system. We input acceleration information and use the second-order modulation function to complete the online real-time identification of the joint surface parameters, thereby establishing the self-healing mechanical model of the multi-rigid-body system.

Foreign body insertion into the urethra is uncommonly encountered in urology practice. Such insertion can result in a myriad of problems including bleeding, infectious sequelae, urinary retention, urethral injury or rupture, and resultant urethral stricture formation. This article describes a case in which an elderly male inserted a pencil into his urethra, which subsequently became lodged and required removal under regional anesthesia in the operating theater.

Introduction: The dentoskeletal effects of clear aligner treatment (CAT) with Invisalign vs temporary skeletal anchorage device-anchored Sydney intrusion spring (SIS) were compared in consecutively treated growing patients with anterior open bite using cone-beam computed tomography scans.
Methods: Fifteen adolescents treated exclusively with Invisalign, and 14 with SIS (first-phase treatment) were assessed retrospectively. Rigid-wise, voxel-based registration of pretreatment and posttreatment cone-beam computed tomography scans were performed using the anterior cranial base, maxillary plane, and mandibular body as reference regions.
Background: The ciliary muscle is known to play a part in presbyopia, but the mechanism has not received a comprehensive review, which this study aims to achieve. We examined relevant articles published from 1975 through 2022 that explored various properties of the muscle and related tissues in humans and rhesus monkeys. These properties include geometry, elasticity, rigidity, and composition, and were studied using a range of imaging technologies, computer models, and surgical methods.

A model using the rigid body multi-cellular framework (RBMCF) is implemented to investigate the mechanisms of buckling of an epithelial monolayer. Specifically, the deformation of a monolayer of epithelial cells which are attached to a basement membrane and the surrounding stromal tissue. The epithelial monolayer , supporting basement membrane and stromal tissue are modelled using two separate vertex dynamics models (one for the epithelial monolayer layer and one for the basement membrane and stromal tissue combined) and interactions between the two are considered using the RBMCF to ensure biologically realistic interactions.
