Minimally invasive surgery (MIS) is the most exciting and rapidly developing area where
force sensing is actually of central importance. Micromachined piezoelectric sensors can be …

This paper proposes a system that utilize a large number of autonomous intelligent "micro"
systems to search and identify pre-defined objects. Robotic agents would be deployed in …

Background: Previous research has shown increases in length of stay (LOS), morbidity and
mortality when the standard for surgical fixation of hip fracture of 48 hours is not met. …

Ankle fractures account for approximately 9% of all adult fractures annually. The ankle
anatomically is particularly vulnerable to significant skin compromise in the setting of trauma. …

Methods A retrospective data collection and prospective analysis was conducted for this
study. After sample size calculations, fifty patients were collected for each group for analysis. …

Micropatterning of cells was achieved by the application of micromagnetic fields using
ferromagnetic field modulators. These modulators were made of low carbon steel, and …

Emotional intelligence plays an important role in human daily life. To date, most evaluation
for emotional intelligences are being assessed through pen and paper based psychometric …

A simple nondestructive method for measuring the force sensitivity of freestanding piezoelectric
films is presented. The principle used is the direct piezoelectric effect, and the force …

Robots have traditionally been employed to perform simple repetitive tasks such as spray
painting and welding. Recently, robots have been called on to perform complex tasks in highly …

Drug and protein delivery has long been a key area for the biomedical industry. With traditional
delivery methods such as injection or ingestion, the drugs or protein concentration in the …
