Our team developed a fully autonomous UAS capable of flying 20 miles while providing real-time telemetry throughout the mission. Designed for humanitarian relief, it can deliver supplies to areas affected by natural disasters where access is limited or infrastructure is damaged. The system is modular and built from off-the-shelf components to keep costs low and…

Hernia repair is one of the most common procedures worldwise, with over 20 million performed every year, close to 1 million alone in the united states. Current off-the-shelf heria meshes are limited by fixed sizes, variable pore structures, and inconsistent conformity, contributing to higher recurrence, discomfort, and complication rates. However, hospitals experience significant waste when…

This paper presents the design, development, and experimentation of a wireless, battery-free neural stimulation system utilizing an intraoral pathway for power delivery to deep brain targets for the treatment of trigeminal neuralgia. Traditional neuromodulation systems require implantable pulse generators and wired leads. This introduces surgical risks and hardware complications. To address these limitations, a resonant…

Wearable ultrasound emitters are used to power implanted devices or modulate neuronal function. Variation in placement of an external wearable can result in reduced efficiencies, improper stimulation of a biotarget, or inaccurate sensor readings. Using the K-Wave Toolbox in MATLAB a 10 kHz pulse was simulated to test different linear ultrasound emitter configurations were tested…

Several studies have demonstrated that certain types of noise exposure have a significant impact on an individual’s cognitive performance. This study aims to quantify the effect of different noise exposures on cognitive performance. A total of 15 young subjects participated in the study in a calm, relaxing environment, to prevent other stress factors from interfering…

Diabetic foot ulcers are difficult to heal due to impaired blood circulation, chronic inflammation, and the strong barrier function of the stratum corneum, which limits the effectiveness of topical therapies. Histamine is a vasodilatory and immune-active molecule with potential to enhance local perfusion and support tissue repair, but its therapeutic use requires a formulation capable…

Dipole antennas are being widely used in ultra-high field (UHF) MRI systems due to their deeper penetration depth of the transmit magnetic field (B1). However, traditional rigid dipole designs do not conform well to the highly curved anatomical regions such as neck, wrist, shoulder, etc., resulting in reduced electromagnetic coupling in tissues, increased localized electric-field…

Home-based rehabilitation post orthopedic lower-extremity interventions is difficult to monitor objectively, as clinic-based gait labs are expensive, inaccessible for frequent use, and impractical for everyday settings. Patients also often have no clear feedback on whether they are performing prescribed exercises correctly, which may slow recovery and increase the risk of re-injury. This study aims to…

Proprioception is essential for body awareness and motor planning; however, its role in multisensory integration during movement planning remains poorly understood. Most existing tests only assess conscious proprioception through position-matching and localization tasks, overlooking the role of proprioception in movement planning, which occurs at a largely unconscious level. We recently developed a method to reverse…

Individuals with profound hearing impairment often face difficulty experiencing the emotional richness of live acoustic environments such as concerts. Although assistive technologies improve communication, they frequently fail to reproduce the subtle, emotional characteristics of sound essential for a deeply immersive experience. Current haptic feedback devices typically convert sound into vibrations using a unidirectional transformation of…
