FOOTPRINT ORTHOTICS USING 3D TECHNOLOGY

Planning Technology for Intelligent Cognitive Orthotics

The aging of the world’s population poses a challenge and an opportunity for the design of intelligent technology. This paper focuses on one type of assistive technology, cognitive orthotics, which can help people adapt to cognitive declines and continue satisfactory performance of routine activities, thereby potentially enabling them to remain in their own homes longer. Existing cognitive orth...

3D inversion of airborne electromagnetic data using a moving footprint

It is often argued that 3D inversion of entire airborne electromagnetic (AEM) surveys is impractical, and that 1D methods provide the only viable option for quantitative interpretation. However, real geological formations are 3D by nature and 3D inversion is required to produce accurate images of the subsurface. To that end, we show that it is practical to invert entireAEMsurveys to3Dconductivi...

Direct Cartilage Repair Using 3D Bioprinting Technology

INTRODUCTION: Articular cartilage is commonly injured and current tissue engineering strategies cannot as yet fabricate new tissue that is indistinguishable from native cartilage with respect to zonal organization, ECM composition, and mechanical properties. Almost all current strategies of cartilage repair involve a procedure of removing healthy cartilage tissue around the lesion to create art...

Human Microbiome Visualization Using 3d Technology

High-throughput sequencing technology has opened the door to the study of the human microbiome and its relationship with health and disease. This is both an opportunity and a significant biocomputing challenge. We present here a 3D visualization methodology and freely-available software package for facilitating the exploration and analysis of high-dimensional human microbiome data. Our visualiz...
