A highly stretchable fibrous actuator with robust cyclic actuation and reprogrammable motions

InfoMat, EarlyView.
We developed a stretchable fibrous actuator combining shape memory alloys and elastomers. It achieves 120% stretchability, 32% actuation strain, and output forces up to 4.3 N. The actuator demonstrates robust reversibility and reprogrammable motions, which enable applications such as a fibrous robot for pipe navigation, a wearable exoskeleton, and an ...

Using E‐portfolios to Identify Threshold Concepts in Removable Prosthodontics

Journal of Dental Education, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Introduction Training in removable prosthodontics traditionally includes a preclinical laboratory component that precedes clinical exposure. Students struggle to relate the laboratory component to clinical work, because successful learning in removable prosthodontics involves many threshold concepts, some of which have been identified ...

MRI Safety Considerations for Permanent Magnet Implants in Muscle

Journal of Magnetic Resonance Imaging, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Permanent magnet implants are used with several medical and assistive devices, such as cochlear implants, dental attachments, and prosthetic control, but raise caution for MR imaging. Previous work has evaluated several magnet implants for position and magnetization stability, as well as for image artifacts under MRI.
