The sensory nervous system serves as the window for human beings to perceive outside world by converting external stimuli into distinctive spiking trains. neurons in this can process multimodal signals with extremely low power consumption. Therefore, new-concept devices inspired neuron are promising candidates address energy issues nowadays’ robotics, prosthetics and even computing systems. Rec...

Purpose – Maxillofacial Prosthetics is faced with increasing patient numbers and cost constraints leading to the need to explore whether computer-aided techniques can increase efficiency. This need was addressed through a four-year research project that identified quality, economic, technological and clinical implications of the application of digital technologies in maxillofacial prosthetics. ...

New developments in socket design, materials and fabrication are briefly reviewed. A series of charts is presented which summarize the below-knee and above-knee prescription procedures followed at the Veterans Administration Prosthetics Center.
