A New Approach to Prevent Injuries Related to Manual Handling of Carts: Correcting Resistive Forces between Floors and Wheels to Evaluate the Maximal Load Capacity

Safety
Test methods that use pushing forces to evaluate the maximal load capacities of carts in design standards require a flat, smooth and horizontal steel plate and thus do not take into account the real conditions of work.

Thermally Induced Creep and Viscoelastic Behavior of Copper Micropillar Arrays

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Copper micropillar arrays are fabricated by electrodeposition within through‐glass‐via, and their thermally induced time‐dependent deformation is quantified. Nanoindentation creep, EBSD, and TEM reveal a heat‐treatment‐driven transition between grain‐boundary‐mediated deformation and dislocation‐dominated creep, while Kelvin modeling captures ...

From Wearable Sensor Networks to Markerless Motion Capture for Instrumental-Based Biomechanical Risk Assessment in Lifting Activities

Sensors
Manual material handling is one of the leading causes of work-related low-back disorders, and an accurate assessment of the biomechanical risk is essential to support prevention strategies.

Integrated Ultrasound Device for Precision Bladder Volume Monitoring via Acoustic Focusing and Machine Learning

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
We present a conformable wearable ultrasound patch for noninvasive bladder volume monitoring. A flexible PZT array combined with a concave acoustic lens concentrates acoustic energy and improves depth selectivity through the anterior pelvic wall.
