Abstract: Medical tapes often hold critical devices to the skin so having high adhesion for the lifespan of this product is of great importance. However, the removal process is challenging for caregivers and patients alike, often a ...

Abstract: Precise image capture using a mechanical scanning endoscope is framed as a resonant structuraldeflection control problem in a novel application. A bipolar piezoelectric selfsensing circuit is introduced to retrofit the ...

Abstract: A run-to-run optimization controller uses a reduced set of measurement parameters, in comparison to more general feedback controllers, to converge to the best control point for a repetitive process. A new run-to-run ...

Abstract: Forward-viewing catheters and scopes for diagnosing disease and guiding interventions in small ducts (less than 3 mm diameter) require wide-field high-quality imaging since scope tip bending is difficult and ineffective. ...

Abstract: Dental caries, the breakdown of tooth enamel by bacteria infection that causes cavities in the enamel, is the most common chronic disease in individuals 6–19 years of age in the U.S. Optical detection of caries has been ...

Abstract: Medical adhesives are vital for securing wearable sensors, wound dressings, and critical medical devices. These adhesives must balance strong adhesion with patient comfort, especially when used over extended periods. ...
