Historically, the fitting, adjustment and alignment of prosthetic devices has been a highly skilled art relying on the training and experience of the prosthetist with input from the patient but with limited access to objective quantifiable measures (Gailey, 2006; Gard, 2006; Gauthier-Gagnon & Grisé,
Isowalk is an intelligent mobility aid designed to replace the walking cane. Unlike the cane - a passive and ergonomically hostile device meant only to keep the user from falling - Isowalk provides active walking assistance that conforms its performance and response to each individual user,
Problem / Product Overview
It is estimated that over 80% of hospitalized patients receive Intravenous (IV) Therapy. A major problem associated with this therapy is called IV infiltration which occurs when an IV catheter either backs out of the vein or causes damage to the vein wall.
This system aims to achieve storage of electricity for a traction motor through the storage of energy kinematics.
The system involves the use of two counter-rotating flywheels in carbon fiber held in place by magnetic suspension bearings.
The goal of this project is to build and test a kite powered electrical generator. Kites are being deployed successfully for powering large ships weighing 440 tons over long haul distances of nearly 12,000 miles.
Problem and Product Summary
The Center for Disease Control and the Center for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) has issued a list of guidelines for health care facilities to decrease their rates of inpatient acquired infections. Medical facilities are dealing with decreased re-imbursements from CMS and private insurers, if an inpatient acquires a possible preventable event.
A laboratory chemical stays most of its lifetime on a shelf, in a closed container, which is opened when it is necessary to take out part of its contents. Generally, partial removal is carried out by pouring, if the chemical is a liquid or a powder, or by means of a spatula after having tilted the container,
INNOVATION
Purpose: To provide a more comfortable ergonomic charter for scheduled routes for short and medium distances.
Audace’s bold external features include new windshields, LED turn signals, and clearance lights. Bonded glass panes provide extended visibility in the windshields, head lights, and tail lights. The new LED full width back lights along with exclusive markers solve safety concerns for turn signals,
An aerodynamic device that spools up the main wheel landing gear on transport airplanes including airliners.
This device could be located at the hub area, something that attaches to any part of the wheel assembly. Very small, lightweight made from plastic. The idea is to spin the tire at approximately 10 mph tire speed prior to touchdown.
Overview
Gonioreflectometer is a device that measures bi-directional reflectance distribution function (BRDF). Large Goniometer encompasses three actuated axes to position its two payload platforms independently around the sample to perform that task. The first prototype of Large Gonioreflectometer is designed and built for York University’s Centre for Research in Earth and Space Science (CRESS) in Toronto, Canada.
