Legacy floor plans, often preserved only as scanned documents, remain essential resources for architecture, urban planning, and facility management in the construction industry. However, the lack of machine-readable floor ...

Electrophoresis of charged particles in polymeric (viscoelastic) fluids remains important in various separation processes, although their theoretical analysis is rather scarce in the literature. The ones which do investigate ...

A modular permeate gap forward-feed multi-effect membrane distillation (PG-MEMD) system with integrated internal feed preheating channels was built and experimentally compared against the baseline MEMD design. Inlet feed ...

The mandates of safety standards in manual material handling tasks have spurred the development and commercialization of many back-assist exoskeletons. These devices prevent back pain injuries by redistributing the applied ...

This chapter explores the latest advancements in AI-driven gait classification. The work mainly focuses on developing and implementing techniques for characterizing and measuring human gait using a wearable portable sensor ...

The advancement of tactile sensing in robotics and prosthetics is constrained by the trade-off between spatial and temporal resolution in artificial tactile sensors. To address this limitation, we propose SuperTac, a novel ...

Thermodynamic equipartitioning can improve the energy efficiency of a fuel cell at fixed size and fuel utilization by varying local cell potential to optimally distribute current density and electrochemical reaction rates ...
