Mixed Reality to Design Lower Limb Prosthesis [PDF]

Proceedings of CAD'15, 2015
This paper presents a Mixed Reality environment, named Virtual Orthopedic LABoratory (VOLAB), which permits to emulate an orthopedic lab and design lower limb prosthesis, in particular, the socket component. The proposed solution is based on low cost devices (e.g., Microsoft Kinect) and open source libraries (e.g., OpenCL and VTK).

Robot milling system integrated design and finite element analysis of custom femoral prostheses

Journal of Orthopaedic Surgery and Research
The long-term stability of cementless femoral prostheses is primarily affected by aseptic loosening, micromotion, and stress shielding, all of which are related to the force transfer of the prosthesis. These factors can compromise the osseointegration of

A Technique for Duplicating a Fixed Complete Denture [PDF]

, 2008
The fixed implant prosthesis often requires repair due to fracture and/or wear of acrylic resin teeth. Repair of such a prosthesis, although simple, requires retaining the prosthesis to be revised in the laboratory.

Optoelectronic retinal prosthesis: system design and performance [PDF]

Journal of Neural Engineering, 2007
The design of high-resolution retinal prostheses presents many unique engineering and biological challenges. Ever smaller electrodes must inject enough charge to stimulate nerve cells, within electrochemically safe voltage limits. Stimulation sites should be placed within an electrode diameter from the target cells to prevent 'blurring' and minimize ...

Hierarchically Engineered Multi‐Enzyme Nanoreactors for in vitro Drug Biosynthesis and Pathway Transplantation Into Cells

Advanced Materials, EarlyView.
A hierarchically structured metal–organic framework (eMIL) is shown to host the complete six‐enzyme biosynthesis pathway for the anti‐cancer pigment violacein, reshaping reaction dynamics and multiplying in vitro yields. eMIL nanoreactors deliver this reconstituted bacterial multi‐protein system into mammalian cells, where cell‐derived substrates and ...
