Biomimetic 3D Tactile Sensor System With Neuromorphic Encoding for Fascicle‐Level Feedback

Advanced Intelligent Systems, EarlyView.
A 3D biomimetic tactile sensor system converts skin‐like mechanical interactions into neural stimulation‐ready spike patterns. Embedded slow‐ and fast‐adapting sensors distinguish sustained pressure from transient touch, while neuromorphic encoding preserves their temporal signatures.

The Effect of Alkaline Treatment on the Mechanical Properties of Treated Sugar Palm Yarn Fibre Reinforced Unsaturated Polyester Composites Reinforced with Different Fibre loadings of Sugar Palm Fibre

Sains Malaysiana, 2018
The aim of this paper was to describe the effects of treated sugar palm yarn fibre loading on the mechanical properties of reinforced unsaturated polyester composites. Composites with varying fibre loads (10, 20, 30, 40 and 50 wt. %) were prepared using a hand-layup process.

A Compact Multijoint Finger Motion Sensing Module for Flexible Exoskeleton Applications

Advanced Intelligent Systems, EarlyView.
Addressing the motion estimation gap in underactuated wearable electronics, a highly integrated sensor alongside a customized readout circuit is proposed. Featuring a screen‐printed layout and optimized horseshoe geometry, this design establishes an optimal feedback mechanism for flexible hand exoskeletons while eliminating wiring clutter.

Properties of Cement Brick with Partial Replacement of Sand and Cement with Oil Palm Empty Fruit Bunches and Silica Fume

Journal of the Civil Engineering Forum, 2019
Oil palm empty fruit bunches (EFB) and silica fume (SF) are the by-products of the oil palm plantation and the ferroalloy smelting industries, respectively. Improper disposal of these materials leads to negative implication to the environment. This study

A mouse model of mechanical stress injury to the basal ganglia using thermosensitive PNIPAM hydrogel for intracerebral hemorrhage research

Animal Models and Experimental Medicine, EarlyView.
In this study, we established a novel mouse model of intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH) by stereotactically injecting thermosensitive PNIPAM hydrogel into the internal capsule to impose localized mechanical stress on the corticospinal tract, which provides a straightforward and reproducible tool for preclinical studies on focal mechanical stress–induced ...

Dicarboxymethyl Cellulose‐Based Mixed‐Matrix Membrane Adsorbers: Preparation, Characterization, and Protein Retention Performance

Journal of Applied Polymer Science, EarlyView.
Dicarboxymethyl cellulose is incorporated, for the first time, into a polyethersulfone membrane. The functional membranes are prepared using dimethyl isosorbide through combined non‐solvent and vapor‐induced phase separation. The resulting membranes exhibit porous structures and protein‐retention potential, highlighting the potential of this cellulose ...
