A Novel Portable Scissors-Type Fruit Picking Device

At present, the fruit picking in most countries still largely relies on manual operation. Manual fruit picking can protect the fruits from damage during the operation process. However, it is time-consuming and labor-intensive, and poses a potential safety risk to the workers while working at heights not reachable. Therefore, a variety of fruit picking machines and platforms have been developed ...

Automated and Portable Native Code Isolation

The coexistence of programs written in a safe language with user-supplied unsafe (native) code is convenient (it enables direct access to hardware and operating system resources and can improve application performance), but at the same time it is problematic (it leads to undesirable interference with the language runtime, decreases overall reliability, and lowers debuggability). This work aims ...

Development of a Portable Knee Rehabilitation Device That Uses Mechanical Loading.

Joint loading is a recently developed mechanical modality, which potentially provides a therapeutic regimen to activate bone formation and prevent degradation of joint tissues. To our knowledge, however, few joint loading devices are available for clinical or point-of-care applications. Using a voice-coil actuator, we developed an electromechanical loading system appropriate for human studies a...

Anatase TiO2 ultrathin nanobelts derived from room-temperature-synthesized titanates for fast and safe lithium storage

Lithium-ion batteries (LIBs) are promising energy storage devices for portable electronics, electric vehicles, and power-grid applications. It is highly desirable yet challenging to develop a simple and scalable method for constructions of sustainable materials for fast and safe LIBs. Herein, we exploit a novel and scalable route to synthesize ultrathin nanobelts of anatase TiO2, which is resou...
