Purpose To asses TAPP with external fixation against PHS and to find which is more suitable in primary inguinal hernia repair. Inguinal hernia repair is the most frequently performed operation in general surgery and so even modest improvements in clinical outcomes are important. The most important criteria for the choice of method are safety (morbidity and mortality), recurrence rates and convenience for the patient, including the risk of chronic groin pain. In recent years, great importance has been placed on the short-term comfort of the patient, measured by post operative pain and the length of convalescence. This is a retrospective study for 250 patients done years ago at

Digital templating has proven effective, reliable and essential technique for preoperative planning and accurate prediction of THA sizing and alignment.

New online fault monitoring and alarm systems, with the aid of Cyber-Physical Systems (CPS) and Cloud Technology (CT), are examined in this article within the context of Industry 4.0. The data collected from machines is used to implement maintenance strategies based on the diagnosis and prognosis of the machines' performance. As such, the purpose of this paper is to propose a Cloud Computing Platform containing three layers of technologies forming a Cyber-Physical System which receives unlabelled data to generate an interpreted online decision for the local team, as well as collecting historical data to improve the analyzer. The proposed troubleshooter is tested using unlabelled experimental data sets of rolling element bearing. Finally, the current and future Fault Diagnosis Systems and Cloud Technologies applications in the maintenance field are discussed.

This paper presents a novel simulation model of the Cyber Process Control System (CPCS) by combining pattern recognition and Cloud Computing (CC). This paper's originality arises from its aim to build a cloud computing platform for autonomous machines, and the exploration of manufacturing data to generate interpretable patterns to be used in process control decision making. The combining of Cloud technology and machine learning brings production to Industry 4.0. The proposed system is tested using data Carbon Fiber Reinforced Polymer (CFRP) routing process. The little information available about the manufacturing process of this type of material and the interaction between the production steps makes the manufacturing process quite difficult. This system generates interpretable rules of controllable operating parameters sent to the controller to keep the machining process within the limits of the specifications. The second step is activated during the drifting conditions in the machining step. Also, the simulation of the machining process is illustrated to generate the relations between input and output variables of the machining process. The findings of the corrective actions are illustrated and the interaction between the two industrial steps is simulated. Finally, current and future CPCS and CC applications in Industry 4.0 are discussed.
