    Abstract: A non-invasive device for assisting the treatment of any kind of musculoskeletal disorder, including but not exclusive of those of joint, limb, and spine disorders, includes a brace, sleeve, flexible pad, or any combination of the three, a plurality of electrodes disposed thereon, wherein the plurality of electrodes transmit at least three electrophysical modalities, and a stimulation control unit having interactive software to establish a controlled sequence of transmission of the at least three electrophysical modalities and communicating the controlled sequence to the electrodes. The at least three electrophysical modalities are chosen from a group consisting of neuromodulating functional electrical stimulation, transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation, pulsed electromagnetic field stimulation, and heat therapy stimulation. The stimulation control unit also provides feedback data using the electrodes for monitoring and integration with the interactive software to analyze and assess biomechanical, neuromuscular, and neurological responses to the device.

    Abstract: Provided is a self-closing and automatically fitting device for packaging (e.g. shrink wrapping, fasteners, enclosures of objects). The device includes a wrapping material and/or closure bands/straps which are made of a shape memory material and a non-shape memory material. The device also includes at least one pair of clasp members attached to the wrapping material and/or closure bands/straps. Upon stimulation by a trigger source, the shape memory material deforms and brings the wrapping material to self-assemble about an object to be packed. The self-assembly of the wrapping material and/or closure bands/straps further brings the two clasp members close to each other and facilitate the clasp thereof to form a self-assembled and closed package. The device may also include a motor, a control unit, and sensors which enable a motor actuated fine tensioning of the self-assembled and closed package.

    Abstract: A material includes a composite having a shape memory material and a non-shape memory material, a trigger source in communication with the shape memory material, the trigger source being configured to provide a stimulus to the shape memory material, the composite being configured to transition between a memorized shape and multiple temporary shapes upon receipt of a stimulus, wherein the composite is configured to self-assemble into a first temporary shape around an underlying object in response to a first trigger from the trigger source and to stop self-assembly in response to a second trigger from the trigger source. Examples contemplated include but are not limited to an immobilization and fixation device for treating a body part of a patient, wearable technology, and a wrapping material for covering one or more objects for transport, each of which includes the aforementioned material.
