...Priyanka Hankare; Ashish Agrawala; Viren Menezes A shock wave-driven needle-free syringe was developed and tested for liquid jet delivery into an artificial skin model and porcine skin samples. The device could deliver an adequate volume of liquid to a depth sufficient for drug dissemination...

... that meets all the requirements for mechanical strength, small insertion force, and good biocompatibility. In this paper, we investigate a biomicroneedle: caterpillar spine. It is found that this type of biomicroneedle can pierce mouse skin using a very small force (about 173 μN) without fracture...

.... The recharging is accomplished by means of an antenna that is externally mounted on the skin surface. The antenna is the primary of a transformer, and the implant contains the secondary of the transformer. During the recharging period of the battery, heat is generated in both the antenna and the implant...

... designs for comfort as well as test electrode over-potential, pH, and temperature. Passing 2 mA current for 22 minutes, both anodal and cathodal stimulations were evaluated independently. Subjective sensation during forearm stimulation was evaluated in 8 subjects. The benefits of skin electrical...

..., conduction velocity is determined by dividing the distance traveled by the time it takes the impulse to travel that distance. While the measurement of time is done electronically and is very accurate, measurement of distance in every commercial laboratory is done by marking the skin and measuring...

... ULD senses the UI based on the fact that urine drops reduce the resistance of the copper lattice resulting in a voltage change. The thermistor array ULD makes use of the finding that leaked urine is warmer than the surface of the skin, such that the integrated thermal components respond to urine...

...J. Rastegar, PhD; H. Soroff, MD; R. T. Murray The initial step in the repair of a thermal or chemical burn is wound debridement, the removal of the dead skin covering the burn. Afterwards, the exposed wound is covered with a viable biological dressing, the scabs re-form and the process must...

... across the auditory frequency range include: 1) mass loading effect on residual hearing with the passive implant, 2) effectiveness of the electromagnetic coupling between implanted coil and magnet, and 3) function characterization of whole unit in response to acoustic input across the skin. The results...
