  • SENSORY STIMULATION
    Publication number: 20240024687
    Abstract: A system for applying sensory stimulation to a subject's foot or ankle based on detected gait kinematics for therapy, training, or movement assistance. The system comprises at least one item of footwear incorporating one or more sensors, one or more vibration actuators, a data processor, memory, and a data transceiver. The system further comprises a remote computing system comprising data communication means and data processing means. The sensors are configured, during a calibration phase, to generate calibration sensor data associated with movement of a subject wearing the item of footwear. The data transceiver is configured to communicate the calibration sensor data to the remote computing system. The remote computing system is configured to receive, via the data communication means, the calibration sensor data from the item of footwear.

  • Atomic force microscope integrated with a multiple degrees-of-freedom magnetic actuator
    Patent number: 9645144
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a biomolecular measurement system (1), which enables to measure the intermolecular forces arising from the interaction between two biomolecules or the intramolecular forces within a single biomolecule by using an atomic force microscope (AFM). In the present invention, the cantilever (2) is moved only when the actuator (4) moves the magnetic nanowire (3) and thus moves the molecule attached to the end of the magnetic nanowire (3). Since the cantilever (2) is not moved, fluctuation and disturbance is not created in the liquid containing the biomolecules. Thus, the measurements are made more accurately and with higher resolution. Additionally, by means of the actuator (4), the biomolecules are enabled to be moved upon exertion of magnetic force at any coordinate on x, y and z axes on the nanowire (3), or exertion of torque on two axes.
