An idea of embedding RFID tags on tactile paving as indoor positioning system to tell current location, direction and distance to destination through mobile app for visually impaired is proposed.
Tactile paving, a footpath with distinctive surface pattern, assists visually impaired people to walk and stop safely. Yet,
Composites prosthetics are defined by predefined stiffness of the material and the perception of the composite deformation for the same product is different from one person to another. For this reason, a inflatable composite cover is attached under the prosthetic foot .
Did you experience feet pain after walking for a period? And you just simply accept as you think that is normal?
Here to share you instrumented footwear that enables real-time monitoring and addressing unhealthy walking pattern (abnormal gait) by giving tactile feedback to the user.
Background
Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (TMS) is a non-invasive therapeutic technique that uses a magnetic pulsed field emanating from coil windings to induce neural action potentials in the brain to address a variety of neurological and physiological applications.
TMS therapy,
The Jala pampa is a water pump
that filters 99. 9 % of
the bacteria in water.
It does this with a ceramic
filter that is located
inside the perforated tube.
The pumping mechanism
ensures fast and especially
safe drinking water.
For over a half-a-century, back surgeons have been cutting spinal disk cartilage and bone with Kerrison Rongeurs, whose original design for widening safely a cranial perforation was modified so that in spinal incisions, the tip could be introduced into ever-smaller spaces.
In such spaces where blood accumulates,
The major disadvantage of most chemotherapeutic approaches to cancer treatment is that most are non-specific which results in the well-known side effects. Magnetic drug targeting offers a major advantage through targeting a specific site, such as a tumor.
Traditional TURP surgery (Transurethral Resection of the Prostate) for BPH (Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia) removes excess prostate tissue using a heated wire loop with side effects such as death (1%), incontinence (3%), impotence (5%) and retrograde ejaculation (75%).
Development of a wireless capsule endoscope is a growing research area because it could be easily swallowed by patients to capture images of the digestive system without pain. But a drawback of the current capsule endoscope is mainly passive-motion-type-endoscope. To overcome this drawback,
