Abstract: An iron-air battery including an iron electrode in contact with an anode current collector, wherein the iron electrode includes a plurality of channels; an oxygen reduction reaction electrode having a first surface facing the plurality of channels and an opposing second surface in contact with air; an oxygen evolution reaction electrode interdigitated with the plurality of channels of the iron electrode, wherein at least a portion of the oxygen evolution reaction electrode is disposed within the plurality of channels in a direction perpendicular to a plane of the oxygen reduction reaction electrode; and an electrolyte in contact with the iron electrode, the first surface of the oxygen reduction reaction electrode, the plurality of channels, and the oxygen evolution reaction electrode.

Abstract: An exemplary embodiment of the present disclosure provides a wearable gait monitoring system for monitoring characteristics of an animal pulling a payload. The system can comprise and inertial measurement unit (IMU), a load sensor, and a display. The IMU can be configured to be positioned proximate the animal and configured to generate IMU data indicative of an acceleration and rotation of the animal. The load sensor can be configured to generate force data indicative of a force exerted on the payload by the animal. The display can be configured to display load and gait information to a user, wherein the load and gait information can be based on the IMU data and the force data.

Abstract: A system for identifying industrial ergonomics risk root-causes and providing risk control actions, comprising: a computing device configured to obtain video signals of a worker performing a job at a workplace; and a computing server system configured to receive and process the video signals to determine joint locations of the worker, calculate joint angles for each body region of the worker based on the joint locations, calculate, based on the joint angles, a risk score for each body region of the worker in a plurality of risk categories, calculate a risk rating for each body region of the worker based on the risk score, determine ergonomic risk root-causes for each body region of the worker based on the risk rating, and provide ergonomic risk control recommendations to mitigate the ergonomic risk root-causes.
