Encapsulated Thermoacoustic Projector Based on Free-Standing Carbon Nanotube Film

Technical Summary: There are promising applications for thermophones in high power sonar arrays, flexible loudspeakers, and noise cancellation devices. Transparent CNT sheets have the density of air, the electrical conductivity of metals, and the flexibility to fit to any curved surface. Thermoacoustic (TA) sound generation results from temperature...

Hardware and Software System for At-Home Stereognosis Training

Sensory loss of the hand (including impaired proprioception, stereognosis, and tactile sensation) is common after peripheral nerve damage, stroke, spinal cord injury, multiple sclerosis (MS), and other neurological conditions. While sensory retraining therapy has shown some benefits, there is no established method to restore tactile sensation following...

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...

Powered Prosthetic Leg for Restoring Natural Locomotion and Mobility Across Tasks

Current passive prostheses are used to alleviate the effects of amputation, but they are limited in their ability to completely restore functionality because such mechanisms may only dissipate energy that the user introduces. In the case of above-knee amputees, many passive prosthetic devices aim to mimic normal walking conditions but typically leave...

Efficient & Broadband Even-Order Harmonic Multiplication in Standard CMOS

A novel technique to realize highly-efficient passive multipliers in a standard CMOS process is demonstrated to efficiently generate even-order harmonics while simultaneously suppressing odd-order harmonics over broad-bandwidths. This is achieved by improving the cutoff frequency (fT) well beyond a THz. The higher fT combined with proposed nonlinearity...
