Stimulation Device to treat Hand Weakness from Stroke or Spinal Injury
A growing number of people experience hand weakness due to stroke or spinal cord injuries. Electrical stimulation (e-stim) devices are commonly used to assist in hand weakness therapy. However, they are bulky, expensive, uncomfortable (may be ill-fitting, cause skin irritation or unpleasant sensation), and non-portable, eliminating the potential for...

Novel Human C3 Derivatives for Therapeutic Complement Depletion
The complement system is part of the immune system and is important in both innate and adaptive immunity. However, the complement system can also be a pathogenetic factor in many diseases including, rheumatoid arthritis, reperfusion injury, myasthenia gravis, and more. Complement has also been shown to be important for the development of antibodies...

Breath-Based Diagnostics for Lower Respiratory Infections
Acute pulmonary infections, or pneumonia, are a leading cause of infectious death worldwide with more than 2.3 million deaths each year. Existing strategies for diagnosing pneumonia are based on clinical, radiological and microbial criteria, which is time-consuming, low accuracy, and subject to interobserver variability. Furthermore, obtaining a lower...

Controlled Tunnel Gap Device for Sequencing Polymers
To reduce costs and increase the availability of personalized genomics new approaches to DNA sequencing are required. Nanopore sequencing is one proposed technique. In nanopore sequencing, DNA molecules are forced through a tiny aperture by electrophoresis. As the individual bases transit the nanopore, their identity can be determined, in theory, by...
