摘要: A method is disclosed for 3D printing thermally curable polymeric inks and their composites for scaffolds or devices. In this method, an extrusion based direct ink writing printing technology was used. The method includes an in-situ curing process and print layer height adjustment steps after each print layer to compensate for shrinkage during a thermal treatment step.

摘要: A control system and method for an exoskeleton is provided. The control system utilizes the admittance control paradigm to provide a system and method for manipulating the exoskeleton using minimal force from the user. A force/torque sensor and servo motors are fitted onto a passive arm support, enabling motorized support for a user with upper extremity weaknesses. The exoskeleton may be used on any extremity. The admittance control paradigm includes an impedance control and an admittance control to allow a user with upper extremity weakness and limited independence to intuitively and with minimal force control the precise trajectory of their arms to achieve a greater degree of independence in activities of daily living. Unlike existing passive arm supports that utilize springs or rubber bands to balance the user's arm against gravity, this system provides more precise gravity compensation and minimizes the amount of force required to control the exoskeleton.

摘要: A pervaporation apparatus and method for liquid mixture separation are disclosed. The pervaporation disclosed utilizes an interfacial-heating membrane utilizing induction heating to provide temperature differences across the membrane for driving liquid mixture separation. The pervaporation system may include an electromagnetic induction heating device that is placed close to or encapsulated in a membrane module wherein one or more membranes with surfaces containing ferromagnetic or other induction-responsive materials. The membrane surface generates localized heat owing to the presence of a ferromagnetic composition that converts electric energy from an induction source to thermal energy. The ferromagnetic composition could include, without limitation, metals, metal alloys, composite materials, nanocomposite materials, nanoparticles, meshes, and combinations thereof.

摘要: Disclosed is a new strategy, composition, and method for a self-assembling peptides (SAP) that will self-assemble atop COVID-19 for immune destruction and act as a functional COVID-19 opsonin. The designed self-assembling peptides bind and assemble atop SARS-CoV-2—providing a new mechanism of infection abrogation. One benefit is avoidance of side effects that other formulations or repurposed drugs contain. Other feature of this technology include: (a) (SAP) are composed of L-amino acids that are highly biocompatible sub-Q, IM and IV (no adverse reaction for 10% blood volume replacement with 1 w % peptide in mice or rats); (b) Highly targeted approach that binds to viral particles preventing side effects; (c) SAP are intrinsically biodegradable and endocytosed; (d) SAP bound COVID-19 may promote engulfment, clearance, and antigen presentation (for immunity development); and (e) targeting the spike protein with SAP may allow treatment of other coronaviruses.

摘要: An injectable formulation for a sustained-release of a local anesthetic is provided. The formulation comprises a pharmaceutically effective amount of a local anesthetic encapsulated into polymeric particles having a diameter from about 1 μm to about 4 μm. Such formulation prolongs analgesic effect, decreases toxicity, and allows loading larger doses, and at the same time is injectable directly at a patient's body site of the interest without generating a surgical wound. Methods of use and preparation are also provided.

摘要: A membrane distillation (MD) system includes a membrane module and reduced graphene oxide-carbon nanotube immobilized membrane for organic solvent separation. The MD module could include a feed inlet and outlet, a sweep gas inlet, and a sweep gas outlet. Thermostats are positioned at the feed inlet and outlet to measure the change in temperature. Preferential sorption of the organic, specifically tetrahydrofuran (THF), on a hybrid reduced graphene oxide-carbon nanotube immobilized membrane contributes to enhanced solvent removal of the MD system.

摘要: Improved diagnostic assemblies are provided. More particularly, the present disclosure provides improved and highly advantageous chip based diagnostic assemblies configured to detect human diseases (e.g., cancer) and/or pathogens, and related methods of use. In exemplary embodiments, the present disclosure provides for consumable micro- or nano-fluidic chip based diagnostic assemblies having visual biosensors, with the diagnostic assemblies using continuous flow-based micro- or nano-fluidic channels and antibody-based immuno-complex designs. In certain embodiments, the diagnostic assembly includes a self-sustainable and operable chip (e.g., thumb-sized chip) that is configured to be deployed as a single use consumable with a direct all-or-none readout as an output to satisfy a point of screening method to screen a population.
