Method for Computer Modeling of Partially Coated Structures
Summary:
Our contributors have proposed a simple and efficient projection-based approach to modeling partial coatings on a structure. This integrated projection-based, isogeometric analysis directly incorporates the existing CAD model and material definitions and eliminates time-consuming geometry manipulation and meshing steps that are necessary...

Resonant sweat analysis sensor with wireless reader
Summary:
The innovative use of resonant sensors coupled with microfluidic channels enables the ability to measure sweat rate and conductivity, allowing additional information to be gathered such as electrolyte loss. A wireless reader gives access to this information without the need for onboard power and through PPE (no line-of-sight required).

Logarithmic Photo-Converter with Huge Dynamic Range
Summary: This device is capable of measuring optical light levels that may vary from the single photon level up to many orders of magnitude larger illuminations. In fact, the upper range can be almost, apart from practical spatial details, as large as one desires. This device is possible due to the fact that the SiPMs can be exposed to daylight at full...
