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...

Highly Reliable Intelligent Intermediate Bus Converter for Space Systems
Background Conventional pulse-width modulation (PWM) control techniques such as voltage-mode DC-DC converters are susceptible to single event effects (SEE) of radiation in harsh environments due to their inherent analog nature. Digital controllers, on the other hand, are more immune to SEEs than their voltage-mode analog counterparts. Current-mode...
