The use of a vessel-sealing device could facilitate the technique by providing an ergonomic alternative to conventional tools such as a bipolar grasper and scissors.
Regarding the sensing aspect, in addition to the conventional tools such as thermocouples and velocity probes, a Video Fire Analysis (VFA) has been performed by applying smoke and flame detection algorithms to the footages obtained from a multi-view video network.
The log data include the conventional tools, such as the resistivity logs shallow and deep, neutron, density, sonic and gamma ray.
Some materials and metal alloys are too hard or too brittle to be machined by conventional tools; for those materials, several nonconventional methods have been devised.
However, the characterisation of these organisms by conventional tools is often inefficient, and recent molecular studies have revealed a great diversity of microeukaryotes.
Unlike other posttranslational modifications such as lysine acetylation or Ser/Thr/Tyr/His phosphorylation, methylation of lysine or arginine does not significantly alter its physical properties (e.g. charge and size) and therefore may not be probed readily by conventional biological tools such antibodies.
The discharge diagnosis, NAFLD, was made by applying conventional diagnostic tools such as blood tests, various imaging techniques as well as liver biopsy.
Whereas creativity tasks have traditionally been supported by conventional media and tools (such as paper, pens, scissors and glue); mobile phones, tablets and other devices based on interactive surfaces are increasingly been used as additional support.
Further efforts to provide more direct dependence of fatigue life estimation methods on microstructure of alloy systems must consider various factors that are not explicitly addressed by conventional fatigue design tools such as the strain-life curve, the stress-life curve, the modified Goodman diagram, or fatigue limit concepts, or by traditional linear elastic fracture mechanics approaches.
Conventional experimental tools such as design-of-experiment (DoE) approach demand study scales too large to be practical.
