Abstract Carpenter ACUBE 100 Alloy is cobalt-base and exhibits corrosion resistance and wear resistance. The alloy was designed as direct replacement of beryllium copper alloys. This datasheet provides information on composition, physical properties, hardness, elasticity, and tensile properties. It also includes information on corrosion and wear resistance as well as forming, heat treating, and machining. Filing Code: CO-117. Producer or source: Carpenter Specialty Alloys.

The problem of corrosion for old steel bridges in operation is often solved by direct replacement of elements or structure. Only a few studies have been done to determine the efforts influenced by corrosion in those elements. In general, it is considered that a corroded element has exceeded the bearing capacity and should be replaced, but if the corroded element is secondary it could be treated and kept. A factor in the rehabilitation of an old steel bridge in operation is the aspect of structure. If the structure is corroded, rehabilitation decision is taken is easier. Lamellar tearing describes the cracking that occurs beneath the weld and can be characterized as a brittle failure of steel, in the direction perpendicular to the plane of rolling. The paper presents a comprehensive study on lamellar tearing and summarizes some conclusions about the prevention of them. The conclusions will be exemplified in the case of a railway bridge, with a main truss girder. The paper presents also some observations regarding the stress analysis in fillet welds, resulting from the engineering practice.

Abstract Background There are only limited options for long-term cardiac monitoring devices readily available in clinical practice for outpatients. Holter monitoring devices are limited by the uncomfort of wires and patches, the small number of leads for analysis, the quality of recordings or the monitoring duration while insertable cardiac monitors are costly and exposed to potential local complication. Purpose To describe a single center experience with a novel wearable device for cardiac rhythm monitoring. Methods The Cardioskin™ system is a patch-free, wire-free, wearable device with rechargeable batteries that provides a high quality 15-lead electrocardiogram monitoring over 1 month (Figure 1). Data are sent using a mobile application downloaded in the patient smartphone to a central Corelab where they can be interpreted by an expert and/or the prescribing physician. An alarm signal is readily available within the Cardioskin™ device, to allow patients to indicate the presence of symptoms. In this single center retrospective registry, we provide a first report of the use of this novel device in real world practice, with indication and duration of cardiac monitoring left at the physicans “discretion”. Results From January 2019 to December 2019, the Cardioskin™ system was prescribed in 60 patients for an overall median duration of 26.5 (14–32) days. The mean age of the patients was 45±12.2 years and 24 (40%) were male. Indications for cardiac monitoring were post-Stroke, palpitation, syncope and cardiomyopathy assessment in 56%, 30%, 7% and 7% of the cases, respectively. A sustained (>30 seconds) supraventricular tachycardia was detected in 4 cases, including one case of atrial fibrillation, two case of atrial tachycardia and on case of junctional tachycardia. Unsustained ventricular tachycardia and atrial fibrillation burst were detected in another 2 cases (Figure 1). There was no reported case of skin irritation by the Cardioskin™ system or abrupt interruption of the monitoring by the patients. Conclusion The Cardioskin™ system is a novel, discreet and comfortable cardiac rhythm wearable long-term monitoring device which can be used in clinical practice for broad diagnostic indications.
