Abstract: An actuator may enable detecting the formation of electrical networks in a liquid metal-elastomer layer. Upon detecting the formation of the electrical networks, the actuator may initiate an autonomous repair process through in situ reprocessing, where Joule heating is used to trigger a self-healing material layer. Following the self-healing, the electrical networks may be is reconfigured. Self-healing the punctures and reconfiguring the electrical networks may restore functionality to the actuator without the need for external intervention. The integration of these features enhances the resilience of the actuator and mimics the adaptive capabilities found in biological systems, ultimately leading to more reliable and efficient performance in dynamic environments.

Abstract: Multi-energy generator apparatus, methods, and systems are disclosed. One multi-energy apparatus comprises: a housing with a biocompatible skin interface comprising a first skin contact operable to transmit a first energy in a signal direction toward skin of a user, and a second skin contact that surrounds the first skin contacting portion and is operable to transmit a second energy in the signal direction toward the skin; and a plurality of PCBs that are operatively sealed in the housing, the plurality of PCBs comprising a first generator operable to output the first energy to the first skin contact for transmission to the skin, a second generator that surrounds the first generator and is operable to output the second energy to the second skin contact for transmission to the skin, and a controller operable to activate the first generator and the second generator.

Abstract: The present invention is a variable light fishing lure comprised of a plastic housing with an internal cavity for holding a submergible lighted element and an angled aperture for inserting the lighted element into the cavity. A plug is inserted into the angled aperture to prevent the lighted element from falling out of the housing. Water can be added to plastic housing before inserting the plug to adjust the buoyancy of the fishing lure. The outside of the plastic housing contains a striated pattern which allows light from the lighted element to shine through the housing. The lighted element can be easily removed from the housing and replaced with the same or another color lighted element.
