The Implantable Myoelectric Sensor (IMES) system developed by the Alfred Mann Foundation is an implantable sensor technology platform capable of transmitting localized myoelectric signals simultaneously from multiple muscle sources, and is intended to be integrated into prosthetic systems to control electromechanical prosthetic devices.
We have invented a non-invasive sensor capable of identifying the unique gait signatures of cannabis and alcohol impaired subjects as well as those of Parkinson's disease, multiple sclerosis, traumatic brain injuries, Alzheimer's syndrome and related conditions. Moreover, by employing proprietary sensor data processing algorithms,
Realizing the huge stress placed upon sustainable energy from heating and cooling demands in residential and small to medium-sized business locations,
Thermally buckled sidewalks are a safety and financial liability if not repaired. The cost of a repair can be $2,000 or more and disrupt the site for days. BuckleDown System allows the repair to be made by two workers in two hours, saving 50-70% of the cost.
Figure 1 shows a flow battery comprised of tanks 1 and 2. Tanks 1 contains liquid 4 and tank 2 contains liquid 6. These liquids 4 and 6 in tanks 1 and 2 are pumped past a membrane 5 held between two electrodes 8 and 10 in a reaction
The device shown in the accompanying sketch provides a method of leveling tile by using the device to lift a corner of a tile that is low while simultaneously injecting thin set or adhesive under the tile after it has already been placed.
At one time or another we have all had to deal with driving into the sun. My idea is to have a small tinted area that is able to follow the blinding sun based on the position relative to the driver.
Tests and Identifies Degraded Sensors Without Having to Remove ThemAn in situ measurement system for monitoring the performance of piezoelectric sensors, particularly accelerometers, was developed. With this technology, characteristics such as resonant frequency, response, cable status, connectivity, bonding and linear range, can be determined.
