Locomotion of Sensor‐Integrated Soft Robotic Devices Inside Sub‐Millimeter Arteries with Impaired Flow Conditions

Diego Ghezzi, Mahmut Selman Sakar, Lorenzo Francesco John Noseda, Amit Yedidia Dolev, Lucio Feo Pancaldi-Giubbini, Adele Fanelli

One of the grand challenges in interventional cardiology and neuroradiology is to minimize the operation time and risk of damage during catheterization. These two factors drastically increase if the target location resides in small and tortuous vessels. Fl ...

Comparing Direct and Indirect Thrust Measurements from Passively Fed and Highly Ionic Electrospray Thrusters

Herbert Shea, Simon Dandavino, Daniel George Courtney

Highly ionic beams of several hundred microampere per squared centimeter have been measured from porous glass ionic liquid electrospray sources fabricated using a conventional mill. The thrust output from three prototype devices, two emitting the ionic liq ...

Manipulating motor performance and memory through real-time fMRI neurofeedback

Frank Scharnowski

Task performance depends on ongoing brain activity which can be influenced by attention, arousal, or motivation. However, such modulating factors of cognitive efficiency are unspecific, can be difficult to control, and are not suitable to facilitate neural ...

Simulation tool for variably saturated flow with comprehensive geochemical reactions in two and three-dimensional domains

David Andrew Barry, Laurin Wissmeier

We present a software tool for simulations of flow and multi-species solute transport in two and three-dimensional domains in combination with comprehensive intra-phase and inter-phase geochemistry. The software uses IPhreeqc, the coupling version of the g ...

Ambulatory Assessment of 3D Ground Reaction Force using Plantar Pressure Distribution

Kamiar Aminian, Julien Favre, Hossein Rouhani, Xavier Crevoisier

This study aimed to use the plantar pressure insole for estimating the three-dimensional ground reaction force (GRF) as well as the frictional torque (T-F) during walking. Eleven subjects, six healthy and five patients with ankle disease participated in th ...
