Is This the Next Time? The Need for More Responsible Innovation Responsible design of electronic textiles. 10 Sensor Innovations Driving the Digital Health Revolution. This year I.B.M dedicated its Five in Five series (an annual list of five technologies that are likely to advance dramatically) solely to sensors.
Digital sensors of the touch, sight, hearing, taste and smell kind along with their potential are all profiled by I.B.M. Sensor technology is going through a renaissance as companies develop smart and innovative new ways to track data using them. Sensor innovation is in-part driving the Digital Health Revolution as digital health companies find ingenius ways to integrate them in to apps, devices and other peripherals. The smartphone will play an increasing important role in all of this as they go from having six built-in sensors currently to having sixteen in the next five years. Clacarbo: Kuraray Europe GmbH. A build-up of electro static charges is one of the main causes of accidents in many industries.
NC State to Lead NSF Nanosystems Engineering Research Center on Self-Powered Health Monitoring. Tattoo biobatteries produce power from sweat (video) The device works by detecting and responding to lactate, which is naturally present in sweat.
“Lactate is a very important indicator of how you are doing during exercise,” says Wenzhao Jia, Ph.D. In general, the more intense the exercise, the more lactate the body produces. During strenuous physical activity, the body needs to generate more energy, so it activates a process called glycolysis. Glycolysis produces energy and lactate, the latter of which scientists can detect in the blood. Professional athletes monitor their lactate levels during performance testing as a way to evaluate their fitness and training program. Jia, a postdoctoral student in the lab of Joseph Wang, D.Sc., at the University of California San Diego, and her colleagues developed a faster, easier and more comfortable way to measure lactate during exercise. The team then went a step further, building on these findings to make a sweat-powered biobattery. Photothermally Reduced Graphene as High-Power Anodes for Lithium-Ion Batteries - ACS Nano (ACS Publications)
Photothermally Reduced Graphene as High-Power Anodes for Lithium-Ion Batteries - ACS Nano. †Department of Mechanical, Aerospace and Nuclear Engineering and ‡Department of Materials Science and Engineering, Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, Troy, New York 12180, United States ACS Nano, 2012, 6 (9), pp 7867–7878 DOI: 10.1021/nn303145j Publication Date (Web): August 11, 2012 Copyright © 2012 American Chemical Society Section:
Batteries Made From World’s Thinnest Material Could Power Tomorrow’s Electric Cars. August 20, 2012 Engineering researchers at Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute made a sheet of paper from the world’s thinnest material, graphene, and then zapped the paper with a laser or camera flash to blemish it with countless cracks, pores, and other imperfections.
The result is a graphene anode material that can be charged or discharged 10 times faster than conventional graphite anodes used in today’s lithium (Li)-ion batteries. Rechargeable Li-ion batteries are the industry standard for mobile phones, laptop and tablet computers, electric cars, and a range of other devices. While Li-ion batteries have a high energy density and can store large amounts of energy, they suffer from a low power density and are unable to quickly accept or discharge energy. The Rensselaer research team, led by nanomaterials expert Nikhil Koratkar, sought to solve this problem and create a new battery that could hold large amounts of energy but also quickly accept and release this energy. Quickly Prototype Circuits With New Inkjet-Printable Conductive Ink. Japanese startup AgIC is aiming to streamline the circuit prototyping process with a new conductive ink that can be used in ordinary household inkjet printers, and that offers an interesting set of flexible properties.
Normally, breadboarding an envisioned circuit can be a sloppy affair, and when you have it working you’re still left with the task of generating the PCB design, having it made, and verifying that it too will work as desired. With AgIC’s creation, the process skips straight to the PCB. Create your layout in Eagle, 123D Circuits, or even Illustrator, print it, affix the components, and test it out. If changes are needed, they can be tested in minutes. Imprint Energy. Finns say recycled fibres can make better fabrics. The dissolving of textile waste offers the opportunity to return large volumes of waste to textile production, according to the Finland based VTT Technical Research Centre.
Novel and efficient methods will be able to recover cellulose molecules, providing one way of resolving the limitations soon to be placed on the use of landfill sites. Such methods will also serve to promote the efficient use of materials. VTT is currently developing methods for handling large quantities of textile waste material. Large-scale solutions. Chinese breakthrough on bio based PTT fibres. 13th August 2014, Shanghai China Technical Textile watch by Oliver Haiqing Hua The China Strategic Emerging Industries and Bio Based Fibre Materials Forum that was recently held in Tianjin has revealed that China has developed the key equipment and complete technology of PTT (polytrimethylene terephthalate) fibre and modified PTT fibre and obtained independent intellectual property rights.
The technology development has made a breakthrough in the bio based PTT fibre production technology chain and bio based PTT fibre is now expected to realise scale production in China. Custom Wire and Cable Manufacturer, Custom Cables, Litz Wire. Medical Cables Manufacturer, Custom Medical Connectors, ECG Cable and Lead Wires, High Quality Cable Assemblies. Staying Connected - April 2011 One of the first impressions of the quality of a medical cable comes from how it looks and feels to the user.
Regardless of what’s inside the jacket, it is the outside of the cable that is the most observable indication of the quality of the product. The way a cable feels and is how it is perceived by the user is largely influenced by the jacket material and by its flexibility. Initial specifications for cable material typically include requirements such as: Number and type of conductors Gauge of conductors Type of shielding if any Type of cable jacket material One additional requirement that is not as easily specified is cable flexibility. Smaller Diameter Equals Greater Flexibility. Project-management-templates. This Guy Tracks Everything About Himself And Puts It Up Online For Everyone To See. Software developer and designer Anand Sharma started tracking everything about himself in March, including how many steps he takes in a day, the distance traveled, how he traveled there (bike, walking, plane, etc) and even how many GitHub commits or Instagram uploads he’s made throughout the day.
The idea seems to have been bubbling for a while. Sharma left his job as the design director at Quizlet in April. Sensors And Sensitivity. There’s only so much practical real estate on the human body for wearables — unless you’re willing to revive the over-accessorizing trend of the 1980s. So what if everyday objects that we interact with — whether it’s by resting against them or holding onto them — were to house the sensors that keep tabs on us? Flachstrickmaschinen, CMS Flachstrickmaschinen, CMS, Flat knitting machines, CMS Flat knitting machines - Reutlingen, Deutschland. When processing wires and metal threads, Stoll offers unlimited scope for application: From heating technology through filter and catalytic converter technology, glass and ceramic manufacturing through to the chemical and automotive industry.
Here, the benefits of this type of knitted fabric are obvious: Open structured surfaces, a high degree of flexibility due to the adaptability of stitches, a definable matrix and last but not least extreme compressibility. Pré-diagnósticos de propriedade industrial. Antistatic, conductive, or static dissipative: Which one do you need? Chad Twombly, business manager at Herculite Products Inc., York, Pa., wrote a blog on this topic recently. I followed up with a phone conversation with him. The result, I think, provides some clarity and useful information, particularly for end product manufacturers who may not be accustomed to working with these products.~ Janet Preus, senior editor When Twombly gets a call from a customer that needs an antistatic material, his first question is, “What level of static dissipation do you need?”
Often, there’s silence on the other end of the line. “Too many people don’t understand what they need,” says Twombly. Novas regras da UE visam fomentar a I&D. Um dos principais objetivos da reforma é concentrar os recursos na investigação dos casos de auxílio estatal que são os mais suscetíveis de representar uma ameaça para a concorrência. No futuro, as empresas poderão beneficiar de vários tipos de ajudas de montante mais elevado e para uma gama mais vasta de atividades sem que os seus planos tenham de ser submetidos ao escrutínio prévio das autoridades europeias.
Good news for functionality in wearables: liquid crystals. Dave Lamb was hired by 3M – formerly known as the Minnesota Mining and Manufacturing Company – straight after completing his docotorate in physics. His PhD research he conducted at the prestigious NASA Marshall Space Flight Center. At 3M Dave concentrates on Opitcal Systems and establishing appropriate metrics for optimum quality display.
We ask him about today´s application of liquid crystals and his interest in wearable technologies. Power outlet abandoned. One of the main difficulties with wearables is how to provide enough energy for the electronics to run over a reasonable amount of time without making the battery too large or the device bulky.
