A simple technique to create spur in loop colostomy

A colostomy is one of the most popular techniques used as a protective maneuver for a distal anastomosis and/or temporary fecal diversion loop colostomy is used mainly for fecal diversion so as to protect the distal bowel.We report a new simple technique for the creation of mucosal spur in between the proximal and distal stoma without using either

Analysis of Cutting Behavior during Tapping and Measurement of Tool Edge Temperature Measured by a Two-Color Pyrometer

This paper proposes a method for measuring the tool edge temperature during tapping.The infrared ray from the tool edge of the tapping tool was measured using a two-color pyrometer with an optical fiber.In addition, the vibration caused by contact between the first-act tool edge and the workpiece was sensed by an acceleration pickup.The outputs of
