Abstract: A device that may be used to monitor a user's biomechanical behavior to investigate the synergy of risk factors in the workplace. The device may assesses factors such as motion, force, vibration, and/or temperature experienced by a user for a period of time. Data may be uploaded from the device to software configured to assess safety and risk associated with the user's behavior. Modifications to the user's biomechanical behavior may then be modified to mitigate safety risks.

Abstract: A system based on electrowetting facilitates high-volume assembly of objects including micron sized objects. A material handling component of the system includes an array of electrically controlled nodes that switch their adhesion property based on a voltage supply. The system accurately picks up and places objects including in parallel.
