In this study, a Terahertz (THz) band antenna which can regulate its own resonant frequency without the requirement of manual adjustment is simulated. A polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF) substrate is applied onto a rectangular graphene patch antenna. With a voltage potential applied onto the PVDF, the patch antenna can attenuate its frequency by physically changing the shape of the antenna, and in turn its resonant frequency. These antennas are within a 0.1 THz band between 1.32 THz to 1.22 THz measured from a radial bend of a flat surface to r = 75 μm, fitting into a return loss (S11) above -30 dB. Although the return loss did not show consistency, the resonating frequency shifted at a linear rate relative to the cylindrical bending.

Visual observations provide an important foundation for physical therapist (PT) decision making in balance rehabilitation. This study used eye tracking to identify areas of the body focused on by PTs while evaluating standing balance across different exercise difficulties. Eye tracking data were obtained from five PTs who observed and rated older adults performing standing balance exercises, using a five-point scale. Excluding ratings of five, PTs had an average of approximately 215% more mean visits and an average of approximately 195% longer mean average visit durations to the lower extremities (LE) compared to the other regions of the body. However, visits to the LE shortened with increasing balance challenge, with approximately 75% shorter mean average visit durations to the LE for exercises rated as five compared to exercises rated as one. The number of visits to the head increased with balance challenge, with approximately 230% more mean number of visits to the head for ratings of five compared to ratings of one. Shortened visit durations and an increased number of visits to the upper body suggest an increase in whole body scan patterns with increasing challenge level.

This paper presents the design of a neck exoskeleton to assist with head-neck motion for patients with amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS). Motor neuron degeneration caused by ALS can lead to neck muscle weakness, resulting in head drop (chin-on-chest posture). Current treatment using static neck collars is inadequate because these collars completely immobilize the head. A powered neck exoskeleton (Columbia exoskeleton) was previously developed to assist with head-neck movements but its structural limitations hindered its usability for patients with severe head drop. In this paper, we introduce the Utah neck exoskeleton which improved the structural stability of the previous Columbia design by (1) optimizing the transmission efficiency and range of motion, and (2) using more precise mechanical components. We quantified the structural stability of the Utah neck exoskeleton and demonstrated its usability with a healthy volunteer. The results show that the Utah neck exoskeleton has a suitable structure to potentially assist with head-neck movements for patients with severe ALS head drop.

Transporting payload with precise swing angles and transfer times poses a challenging task in building construction, which is why gantry crane systems are extensively utilized. Various control strategies, including open-loop and closed-loop systems, have been proposed to tackle this issue. However, most of these controllers rely on a model and parameters specific to the crane system, making the process of modeling and parameter identification complex and time-consuming. To address this challenge, this work presents a practical and simulation control method for automatic gantry cranes, which is evaluated simulation and experimentally. The lab-scale Gantry crane is developed in this work, which consists of mechanical and electrical parts. Proportional Integral and Derivative (PID) and Proportional Derivative (PD) controllers which applied optimization method are implemented in the electrical part of the system. The PID and PD controller applied in controlled the position and swing angle, respectively. The Gradient Decent optimization method is the best optimization method in determining the parameter of the controller, since it has the best simulation performance in the output of the system. The experimental result is developed and compared between simulation and lab-scale Gantry crane hardware implementation part. The performance of experimental results is shown appropriately approaching the performance of the simulation result, with the approximately settling time.
