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...

Biscrolling Nanopowders and Carbon Nanotube Sheets into Fibers, Yarns and Textiles

Non-Confidential Description:The technology is the first known method to spin biscrolled fibers/yarns from nanopowder materials using carbon nanotube (CNT) sheets as the host. Nanopowder materials (nanoparticles, nanofibers) are loaded onto the CNT sheets to form bi-layered sheets, which are then scrolled into fibers. A key advantage of this technology...

Electrolyte-Free Charge Injection Tuning of Carbon Nanotube Sheets – Offering Novel Supercapacitor Technology

This invention utilizes bulk material property modification via hole or electron injection into conducting and porous materials including but not limited to carbon nanotubes. Bulk carbon nanotube (CNT) assemblies (sheets, rods, etc) can be charged electrochemically in an electrolyte bath. After the CNT sheet is charged (positively or negatively) in...
