Apatite thin films of calcium phosphate were successfully prepared by rf‐magnetron sputtering, followed postannealing, from glass targets with Ca/P atomic ratios 0.6 to 0.75, much lower than the stoichio‐metric value 1.67 for hydroxyapatite. Using low 0.65 0.25, tricalcium and pyrocalcium obtained. The formation these phosphates phases was attributed phosphorus oxide losses during sputtering. H 2 O vapor effective in apatite phase at high temperatures; exclusive ambient O, even when target...

It is a well-known fact that minimally invasive surgery (MIS) has many benefits, e.g., unnecessary trauma and blood loss can be minimized by opening tiny scars, recovery process of patients lessened, the possibilities complications decreased. Although robots are widely used in MIS due to their fundamental superiorities such as high precision, current mainly suffer from absence/limitation haptic feedback during operation. This paper proposes novel electrohydraulic transmission system improve...
