Learn to properly maintain your ball screws, understand the acceptable noise levels that can be produced prior to repair, define the erratic pitch that occurs within ball screws, and investigate design advantages from internal ball returns.
New research from Stanford and Seoul University has lead to the development of an artificial sensor system that potentially can act like skin for prosthetics and robots.
Traditional myoelectric prosthetics require complex motorized systems that are heavy and fragile. The Hennes robotic hand is an attempt at simplifying these systems to introduce cheaper artificial limbs.
These valves are commonly used in medical devices, but can be specified whenever designers want to keep a media being moved isolated and uncontaminated by the activation mechanism.
Flexible and wearable medical sensors will let doctors easily and painlessly collect patient data that will lead to more accurate diagnosis and effective treatments.
A new technique from the University of Southern California uses radio-frequency waves to burn away tumors as doctors monitor the procedure in real-time.
Researchers have developed a new stretchable wearable sensor that can measure pH levels from a patient’s sweat—potentially replacing blood tests to measure glucose, sodium, and potassium.
New wearable device technology and research from the University of Wisconsin-Madison allows doctors to measure muscle-tendon forces in a non-invasive method.
