Wearer-Prosthesis Interaction for Symmetrical Gait: A Study Enabled by Reinforcement Learning Prosthesis Control

open access: yesIEEE transactions on neural systems and rehabilitation engineering, 2020
With advances in robotic prostheses, rese-archers attempt to improve amputee’s gait performance (e.g., gait symmetry) beyond restoring normative knee kinematics/kinetics.

Unlocking the Power of Quercetin‐Encapsulated Mesoporous Bioactive Glass Nanoparticles: A Multifunctional Approach to Bone Regeneration

open access: yesAdvanced Engineering Materials, EarlyView.
Mesoporous bioactive glass nanoparticles (MBGNs) are investigated for bone regeneration given their remarkable structural and functional properties. MBGNs are functionalized with Mn and Cu and incorporated with quercetin, a natural flavonoid exhibiting antioxidant, anti‐inflammatory, and antimicrobial properties.

The use of sensory feedback in the adaptation of perturbed /s/ [PDF]

open access: yes, 2008
The study investigates the contribution of tactile and auditory feedback in the adaptation of /s/ towards a palatal prosthesis. Five speakers were recorded via electromagnetic articulography, at first without the prosthesis, then with the prosthesis and ...

On the Investigation of a Sustainable Two Step Laser‐Based Surface Treatment for the Functionalization of Additive Manufactured Ti–6Al–4V Components

open access: yesAdvanced Engineering Materials, EarlyView.
This study developed a two‐step laser‐based process for sustainable surface treatment of Ti–6Al–4 V components, combining laser polishing and direct laser interference patterning with ns and ps pulses. Key findings include significant roughness reduction, hierarchical patterning with ps pulses, and improved homogeneity. A cost function is developed for

Temporal development of compensation strategies for perturbed palate shape in German /S/-production [PDF]

open access: yes, 2006
The palate shape of four speakers was changed by a prosthesis which either lowered the palate or retracted the alveoles. Subjects wore the prosthesis for two weeks and were recorded several times via EMA.

Use of accelerometers in the control of practical prosthetic arms [PDF]

open access: yes, 2017
Accelerometers can be used to augment the control of powered prosthetic arms. They can detect the orientation of the joint and limb and the controller can correct for the amount of torque required to move the limb.

Effect of Annealing Temperature on Microstructure and Dry‐Sliding Behavior of Powder Bed Fusion–Laser Beam Ti6Al2Sn4Zr6Mo Alloy

open access: yesAdvanced Engineering Materials, EarlyView.
Heat treatment parameters critically affect the wear resistance of powder bed fusion–laser beam (PBF‐LB)‐produced Ti–6Al–2Sn–4Zr–6Mo alloy. This study found that optimizing annealing temperature allows to obtain a tailored microstructure, which enhances the dry‐sliding behavior by forming a stable and functional mechanically mixed layer (MML), ensuring

A fully organic retinal prosthesis restores vision in a rat model of degenerative blindness

open access: yesNature Materials, 2017
The degeneration of photoreceptors in the retina is one of the major causes of adult blindness in humans. Unfortunately, no effective clinical treatments exist for the majority of retinal degenerative disorders.
