Restless Legs Syndrome or Willis-Ekbom Disease, a neurosensory disorder, can be treated with pharmaceuticals or conservatively. This review focuses on conservative treatments, more specifically on treatments with medical devices. Two modes of action, enhancement of circulation and counter stimulation, are introduced. Medical devices that use enhancement of circulation as their mechanism of acti...

In our study, we developed the FinGAR (Finger Glove for Augmented Reality), which is a tactile display that uses a combination of electrical and mechanical stimulation. The device can selectively stimulate four channels of tactile sensation, based on pressure, low-frequency vibration, high-frequency vibration, and shear stretching, to achieve high-fidelity tactile sensation. The FinGAR was desi...

vibration generated by vehicles during road transport has an important effect on the agricultural products damage process, particularly vegetable and fruit. modulus of elasticity is one of the most important mechanical properties of fruits and its variation can be described as one of the damage criteria during transportation. this research was conducted to evaluate the effects of vibration para...

This study investigates the use of a spring-bar mechanism (SBM) in vibration suppression system to improve its performance. The SBM, comprising bars and springs, is configured with conventional linear spring-damper isolator unit. dynamic response, force transmissibility, energy flow behaviour are studied evaluate performance integrated system. It found that SBM can introduce hardening, softenin...
