A computer simulation of the steady-state operation of recessed (Whalen-type) polarographic oxygen electrodes has been developed to give the design factors important for performance optimization. The simulation makes use of a specially formulated three-dimensional orthogonal coordinate system with the geometry identical to the actual recessed cathode and gives the oxygen concentration field induced by it in the surrounding medium. Equations are presented which allow one to calculate, for any recessed cathode, the current sensitivity, maximum stirring artifact, measurement error, and time constant. Comparisons with analytically obtained expressions for the corresponding quantities for idealized, spherosymmetric cathodes demonstrate the unique aspects of recessed-cathode performance. For commonly used electrodes, a recess length-to-cathode diameter ratio of greater than 10 is found to give a negligible stirring artifact, a negligible measurement error, and a rapid response.

Abstract Objective We have developed a fully automatic three-dimensional MRI analysis software that measures the projected cartilage area ratio (PCAR) to allow for the quantification of the cartilage in the knee. Our objectives for this cross-sectional study were to verify our software’s accuracy and to quantify cartilage and meniscus extrusion. We also examined which cartilage quantification was most affected by age and analyzed the relationship between PCAR and meniscus extrusion. Methods 108 subjects were selected for training, and Dice similarity coefficients were determined from 5 other subjects. This study included 561 subjects between 30–70 years of age. From their knee MRI data, we quantified cartilage thickness, cartilage volume, and PCAR (0.0–1.5 mm) in four regions, including the medial tibial (MT) cartilage. Furthermore, each region was divided into nine subregions. The medial central (mc) subregion was also analyzed. As a quantification for meniscus extrusion, the medial meniscus coverage ratio (MMCR) was also investigated. Results Dice similarity coefficients were 0.911 and 0.892 for the femoral and tibial cartilage and 0.916 and 0.891 for the medial and lateral meniscus. Among 48 cartilage quantifications, the highest absolute value of the correlation coefficient with age was mcMT PCAR 1.0 mm in females and mcMT cartilage thickness in males. In females, mcMT PCAR 1.0 mm was correlated with MMCR, although MMCR was not correlated with age. In males, mcMT PCAR 0.0 mm was correlated with MMCR. Conclusions Our software showed high segmentation accuracy and provided numerous quantifications of cartilage related to age and meniscus extrusion.

This chapter proposes a new automated method of measuring complex three-dimensional surfaces of aircraft parts in static and dynamic modes. The method allows conducting measurements in closed conditions and at the site of the aircraft disposition. The method consists in the continuous determination of the coordinates of the points of the surface of the detail and their representation in a three-dimensional graphic depiction. New methods of measuring the geometric parameters of parts with the complex spatial surface are suggested. This opens the prospect for the development of new ways of measuring geometric parameters of parts in real-time with high metrological characteristics and computer simulation of the measurement process. The differential-digital method is based on the suggested zero-coordinate principle of the measurement process which involves simultaneous parts availability check, and connects measurement result obtained which provided a reduction in the order of measurement error.
