The mechanisms of deep-hole microdrilling of pure Mg material were experimentally studied in order to find a suitable setup for a novel intraocular drug delivery device prototyping. Microdrilling tests were performed with 0.20 mm and 0.35 mm microdrills, using a full factorial design in which cutting speed vc and feed fz were varied over two levels. In a preliminary phase, the chip shape was evaluated for low feeds per tooth down to 1 μm, to verify that the chosen parameters were appropriate for machining. Subsequently, microdrilling experiments were carried out, in which diameter, burr height and surface roughness of the drilled holes were examined. The results showed that the burr height is not uniform along the circumference of the holes. In particular, the maximum burr height increases with higher cutting speed, due to the thermal effect that plasticizes Mg. Hole entrance diameters are larger than the nominal tool diameters due to tool runout, and their values are higher for high vc and fz. In addition, the roughness of the inner surface of the holes increases as fz increases.

Efficient scaling of large language models with mixture of experts and 3D analog in-memory computing.
Nat Comput Sci

IBM Research Europe, Rüschlikon, Switzerland.
Large language models (LLMs), with their remarkable generative capacities, have greatly impacted a range of fields, but they face scalability challenges due to their large parameter counts, which result in high costs for training and inference. The trend of increasing model sizes is exacerbating these challenges, particularly in terms of memory footprint, latency and energy consumption. Here we explore the deployment of 'mixture of experts' (MoEs) networks-networks that use conditional computing to keep computational demands low despite having many parameters-on three-dimensional (3D) non-volatile memory (NVM)-based analog in-memory computing (AIMC) hardware.

The solder burrs on the 304V wire surface can easily scratch the vascular tissue during interventional treatment, resulting in complications such as medial tears, bleeding, dissection, and rupture. Abrasive blasting is often used to remove solder burr and obtain a smooth surface for the interventional device. This study conducted an abrasive blasting experiment to explore the effects of process parameters (air pressure, lift-off height, abrasive volume, and abrasive type) on processing time, surface roughness, and mechanical properties to reveal the material removal mechanism.

Introduction: Maxillary sinus pneumatization increases with age and tooth loss, leading to a reduction in the maxillary alveolar ridge, which often results in insufficient bone height for the proper placement of dental implants. This study focused on performing maxillary sinus elevations in ex vivo bisected pig heads using novel access and elevation devices, comparing these with the osteotome sinus floor elevation (OSFE) technique.
Materials And Methods: An experimental study was conducted using 20 ex vivo adult pig heads.

Introduction: Image guided superficial radiation therapy (IGSRT) is a novel technology which combines traditional superficial radiation therapy (SRT) with high resolution dermal ultrasound (HRDUS) to treat non-melanoma skin cancers (NMSC). Since development, IGSRT use has expanded dramatically in outpatient clinics. We review the IGSRT literature and state-of-the-art operating principles in US dermatologic practices.
