Existing procedures such as performing myomectomy before hysterectomy or performing retrograde hysterectomy remain suboptimal in expanding the operative field, especially in cases with a huge cervical myoma. In this report, we introduce a new procedure, the “HALF-CUTTING METHOD” which can be used to obtain an adequate surgical field during hysterectomy.展开更多

To maximize their advantages, chatter suppressiontechnologies for simultaneous processes must be devel-oped. In this study, we constructed an automatic chattersuppression system with optimal pitch control for shared-surface parallel turning with rigid tools and a flexibleworkpiece, integrating in-process chatter monitoring basedon the cutting force estimation. The pitch angle betweentwo tools is tuned adaptively in a position control system inaccordance with the chatter frequency at a certain spindlespeed, in a similar manner as the design methodology forvariable-pitch cutters. The cutting force is estimatedwithout using an additional external sensor by employing amulti-encoder-based disturbance observer. In addition, thechatter frequency is measured during the process by per-forming a low-computational-load spectrum analysis at acertain frequency range, which makes it possible to cal-culate the power spectrum density in the control system ofthe machine tool. Thus, the constructed system for automatic chatter suppression does not require any addi-tional equipment.展开更多
