Abstract: A differential emissivity imaging device for measuring evaporable particle properties can include a heated plate, a thermal camera, a memory device, and an output interface. The heated plate can have an upper surface oriented to receive falling evaporable particles. The evaporable particles have a particle emissivity and the upper surface has a plate surface emissivity. The thermal camera can be oriented to produce a thermal image of the upper surface. A memory device can include instructions that cause the imaging device to calculate a mass of the individual evaporable particle via heat conduction using a calculated surface area and an evaporation time.

Abstract: A portable rehabilitation assembly (100) for pre-gait rehabilitation comprises first and second lower support bars (102a, 102b) coupled together by an adjustable cross-member (104). A first pair of vertical frame members (108a) can be coupled to the first lower support bar (102a), and a second pair of vertical frame members (108b) can be coupled to the second lower support bar (102b). First and second hand rails (110a, 110b) can be coupled to respective vertical frame members (108a, 108b) to form an unobstructed walkway (W) from the front region (106a) to a back region (106b). First and second pairs of wheels (112a-d) can be coupled to respective lower support bars (102a, 102b). At least one actuation mechanism (114a, 114b) operates to move the assembly (100) from a stationary rehabilitation position to a portable position by causing the wheels (H2a-d) to lift the lower support bars (102a, 102b) from the ground surface for transport.

Abstract: A field effect transistor (FET) biosensor for virus detection of a selected virus within a sample volume is disclosed. The FET comprises a semiconductor substrate, a source and drain electrode on the substrate, the electrodes spaced to form a channel. A gate electrode carried on the substrate and located in the channel between the source and drain electrodes. An insulating layer is coupled to a top surface of the gate electrode and a bottom surface of the source and drain electrodes, with an open channel above the insulating layer. A channel material is coupled to the insulating layer. Aptamers are oriented within the open channel to bind to the channel material and with the selected virus to enable a detection of the selected virus by the FET biosensor based on a change in drain-source current at a selected gate voltage.

Abstract: A therapeutic delivery device that provides a controlled release of high doses of a therapeutic agent in a local area, sustains the high dose controlled release with a percutaneous port for refilling the device, and is versatile for use with multiple types of therapeutic agents and/or implant systems. A rate determining/controlled release membrane is used to decrease the molecular mobility of the therapeutic compounds thereby controlling the therapeutic release profile. The therapeutic delivery device includes a body defining an internal reservoir for receiving a therapeutic agent and including a first membrane for providing a controlled release of the therapeutic agent to the surgical site, a port in fluid communication with the reservoir, a sleeve configured to encapsulate the body, and a rigid housing configured to support the body and a portion of the sleeve, the rigid housing configured to release the body and the sleeve after the body and the sleeve are anchored position relative to the surgical site.
