Ankle foot orthoses (AFOs) are widely used as assistive/rehabilitation devices to correct the
gait of people with lower leg neuromuscular dysfunction and muscle weakness. We have …

A Portable Powered Ankle-Foot Orthosis (PPAFO) has been designed for gait assistance.
The PPAFO can supply assistive torque at the ankle joint in plantarflexion and dorsiflexion …

This paper presents a state estimator that reliably detects gait events during human walking
with a portable powered ankle-foot orthosis (AFO), based only on measurements of the …

While selecting the execution plan for a given query based on a single estimated cost is a
generally-adopted strategy, it is usually error-prone and fails to comprehensively profile the …

Powered ankle-foot orthoses have significant potential as both assistance and rehabilitation
devices for individuals with lower limb muscle impairments. Recently, we developed an …

The goal of this work is to address challenges with developing and utilizing mobile powered
orthotic devices or exoskeletons, especially those that depend on miniature pneumatic …

The performance of the photodetector is often the primary limiting factor affecting a free space
communication or LiDAR system's sensitivity. Avalanche photodiodes (APDs) can be used …

Dark photons, aside from constituting non-relativistic dark matter, can also be generated
relativistically through the decay or annihilation of other dark matter candidates, contributing to a …

Keemun tea infusion was selected as a model system under various centrifugation speeds
to build a relationship among chemical composition, properties of nanoparticles in tea …

Purpose To investigate the utility of a liposomal-iodinated nanoparticle contrast agent and
computed tomography (CT) imaging for characterization of primary nodules in genetically …
