Proposed is an investigation into the use of flexible, extremely strong and tough, superelastic Nitinol shape memory alloy as a means of dramatically improving puncture resistance for personnel body armor. The Nitinol material is proposed as a surface material or coating for reinforcement or organic fiber fabrics and/or composites or aramid and UHMW polyethylene used in the current body armor sys ...

The proposed project will determine the feasibility for integration of LIGA-fabricated components with bulk micromachined components to fabricate implantable closed loop monitoring and drug delivery systems. Such a system could easily be coupled with state-of-the-art medicaments to manage a wide range of disease states including hypertension and diabetes. When coupled with appropriate sensors, t ...

MicroDexterity Systems was founded by Steve Charles, MD to develop systems for dexterity enhancement for microsurgery; a concept he originated in the mid 80's. Dexterity enhancement is a subset of tele-operation. The MDS mission statement was broadened in 1994 to address the problem of non-ferromagnetic tele-operation for intra-operative magnetic resonance imaging frequently called image guided ...
