  • Publication number: 20250242077
    Abstract: Methods of producing bioresorbable porous biocomposites for orthopaedic applications are provided. In an exemplary embodiment of a resorbable orthopaedic implant of the present disclosure, the implant comprises a porous alloy of at least a first metal and a second metal sintered together, the alloy configured to resorb into a body at substantially an atomic level without flaking off, wherein a porosity of the implant is defined by a first plurality of interconnected holes having a first range of sizes.

  • Publication number: 20210398679
    Abstract: A method can apply permutation procedures to mediation and moderation tests of multiple hypotheses, while controlling the rate of false positives. The techniques presented here through a platform-independent tool can be applied to a variety of datasets in diverse and interdisciplinary fields, such as biology and medicine, where integration of multi-scale data is utilized to unmask disease diagnosis, prognosis, susceptibility/resilience, treatment optimization, and biopharmaceutical development for any brain-based, psychological, or medical illness. This platform allows for study of human illness where animal models are proving inadequate.

  • Publication number: 20200189154
    Abstract: A compound for protection of an object from a blast or shock wave. The compound include a matrix material and at least a first and second sets of inclusions in the matrix material that differ in size, quantity, shape and/or composition in a direction through the impact-absorbing material, the combination of which contributes to the ability of the material to exhibit at least one property that changes as the inclusions are deformed in response to a blast or shock wave.

  • Patent number: 10675512
    Abstract: One or more devices, methods, and systems implementing one or more techniques for use of one or more sport balls and/or evaluations of handling one or more sport balls are disclosed. One or more techniques may include a sport ball having one or more pressure sensors configured to generate one or more force values between the one or more pressure sensors and a sport ball user upon use/engagement of the sport ball with the user. One or more techniques may include a processor configured to determine at least one handling value, perhaps based upon the one or more force values.
