Design and Prototyping of a Bio-inspired Kinematic Sensing Suit for the Shoulder Joint: Precursor to a Multi-DoF Shoulder Exosuit [PDF]
arXiv, 2019 Soft wearable robots are a promising new design paradigm for rehabilitation and active assistance applications. Their compliant nature makes them ideal for complex joints like the shoulder, but intuitive control of these robots require robust and compliant sensing mechanisms.

Performance Analysis of Vibrotactile and Slide-and-Squeeze Haptic Feedback Devices for Limbs Postural Adjustment [PDF]
arXiv, 2022 Recurrent or sustained awkward body postures are among the most frequently cited risk factors to the development of work-related musculoskeletal disorders (MSDs). To prevent workers from adopting harmful configurations but also to guide them toward more ergonomic ones, wearable haptic devices may be the ideal solution.

Advanced Energy Materials, EarlyView.The decomposition of Nb‐substituted LLZO solid electrolytes is reported through a propagating reaction between Nb5+ dopants and the Li metal electrode. This work suggests dopants that segregate to interfaces/grain boundaries in LLZO will exhibit reactivity that can propagate into bulk and shed light on new mechanisms for the problematic role of oxygen ...

Angewandte Chemie, EarlyView.An exquisite color tuning of narrowband thermally activated delayed fluorescence from deep‐blue to green was achieved for non‐boron ubiquitous luminophores based on the dendritic modification design concept. The corresponding OLEDs exhibited high‐efficiency, high‐color‐purity blue and green electroluminescence, with high external quantum efficiencies ...

A model-based approach to stabilizing crutch supported paraplegic standing by artifical hip joint stiffness [PDF]
, 2003 The prerequisites for stable crutch supported standing were analyzed in this paper. For this purpose, a biomechanical model of crutch supported paraplegic stance was developed assuming the patient was standing with extended knees.

Common surgical procedures about the shoulder joint
South African Journal of Physiotherapy, 1982 Details of surgery to the shoulder joint, relating to the rotator cuff and acromioclavicular joint, repair of recurrent dislocation of the shoulder joint and stabilisation of a destroyed or functionless joint, are described.

Spring and Power in Hovering Ornithopters
Advanced Intelligent Systems, EarlyView.Only small ornithopters can hover, longest at the hummingbird size. This article reviews the drive and power of these hovering machines, focusing on elastic energy and thrust boosters. Unlike two‐winged designs, X‐winged and multiple‐V‐winged ornithopters benefit from lower disk loading and slower, smaller wingbeats, and the clap‐and‐fling effect ...
