Total Energy Shaping for Task-Invariant Control of Lower-Limb Exoskeletons

We present a total energy shaping control methodology for the development of portable lower-limb assistive exoskeletons and orthotic devices that help reduce the human’s effort and augment natural motion. Current robotic exoskeletons restrict joint motion to pre-defined position trajectories during gait rehabilitation; such methods aim to replicate...

Amorphous Silicon Carbide Ultramicroelectrode Arrays for Neural Interfaces

The clinical ability to record and stimulate neural activity with implanted microelectrode arrays has been limited by the problems of insertion trauma and foreign body response (FBR), which can lead to neuron damage and reduced reliability. Minimizing this tissue response is necessary for the development of implantable interfaces for studying neural...

Small Molecule Inhibitor of Forkhead Box Protein C2 (FOXC2): Therapeutic Candidate and Diagnostic Tool for Metastatic Cancers

The transcription factor Forkhead Box Protein C2 (FOXC2) is known to be necessary to initiate and maintain the epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT), which has been a hot target for therapeutic intervention against cancers. The overexpression of FOXC2 bestows cancer cells with metastatic and cancer stem cell (CSC)‐like phenotypes, i.e., higher motility,...

Improved Dental Abutment Geometries for Cement-Retained Crowns

According to the American Academy of Implant Dentistry, over 500,000 dental implants are performed per year in the United States. Despite being such a common procedure, peri-implant disease has been found to affect as much as 48% of implants according to the American Academy of Periodontology. Inefficiencies of commercial dental implant systems have...

An Environmentally Friendly Solution for Preservation and Increased Nutritional Value of Hay and Forage

Researchers at UT Dallas have developed a preservative solution that can be used in place of current preservatives, such as those that contain propionic acid. Unlike propionic acid, this new preservative solution is much safer and provides additional value to treated feed. Whereas many commercial hay preservatives evaporate over time, this formulation...

Multifunctional Ionic liquids for Surface Modification of Dental Implants

Titanium dental implants are known for their high success rates and adequate osseointegration in vivo. However, with an increasing number of implants used, higher incidence of failures has been reported. These failures have been associated with microbial colonization, peri-implant inflammation, corrosion, implant design, overload, as well as a combination...
