    Abstract: A vacuum arc thruster device having a cathode rod disposed within a concentric insulator tube, and an anode electrode located at the distal edge of the insulator tube, separated from the cathode rod by the insulator tube. A controlled feeding mechanism moves the cathode towards the distal exit plane in a helical motion, the cathode rotating as it moves forward. The cathode rod is fixed in the center of a headless screw segment, which is rotated within a screw thread on the internal surface of a cylindrical wall of the device. As the erosion rate is concentrated at the exit plane, the screw action path enables uniform erosion around the cathode circumference, and cathode linear motion that can be matched to the radial erosion rate. The feeding rate and hence the thrust are proportional to the input power, which can be regulated by the pulse frequency.

    Abstract: A system comprising a protein and a channel. The channel has a domain that binds a membranal component. The channel is configured to carry a liquid sample to an isotachophoresis (ITP) apparatus. The liquid sample comprising or suspected of comprising a cell, a cell membrane or a fraction of a cell membrane. The ITP apparatus comprises a first zone and a second zone. The first zone is configured to contain a solution of high effective mobility leading electrolyte (LE) ion. The second zone is configured to contain a solution of low effective mobility trailing electrolyte (TE) ion. The first zone and the second zone are configured to be operably connected to at least one anode and at least one cathode.

    Abstract: A robotic shoe which provides real-time feedback regarding forces acting on the foot of the user, in order to modify these forces in a corrective or diagnostic manner. The shoe comprises an insole equipped with embedded pressure sensors enabling it to continuously monitor the ground reaction forces (GRF) and the foot center of pressure (COP) while the user is standing, walking, and running. The insole COP and GRF readings are input to a programmable system that shifts the COP trajectory dynamically in a patient-specific manner via the robotic platform of the shoe. The robotic platform contains motors that control elements whose movement manipulates the forces acting on the foot and lower limb, resulting in modification of the GRF. Closed loop feedback enables a dynamic fit of an optimal COP. The COP and GRF information can be stored for analysis and diagnosis of gait and instability events accruing during locomotion.

    Abstract: A novel structural arrangement for the various components of an Ultra-Micro Gas Turbine Generator, based on a single part impeller element which comprises the compressor, the turbine and the electrical generator core in a single annular structure, produced as a single piece by an additive manufacturing process. The single annular structure has a hollow shell structure, with a supporting structure within in. The internal hollow space of the shell structure provides for a flow of cooling air from the outside through the internal space, for cooling the turbine region of the impeller. This air flow could be assisted by the use of internal blades, which can also serve as the supporting structure to increase the strength of the shell structure. The air flow can either be ejected at the center of the turbine, or can provide a high pressure supply for air bearings of the impeller element.
