The authors describe a novel system for sensing and displaying the distribution of contact pressure caused by a patient's lying on a hospital bed. The system includes a flexible, pressure-sensitive mat, electronics to activate the mat, a small computer to process data, and a color video display. The present prototypes can sense pressure at 1,536 discrete locations in a rectangular grid of 24 x ...

A foam-like graphene material can be prepared by freeze drying and thermal reduction of graphene oxide suspensions. The graphene foam has a much higher capacity then conventional graphite anode, and it possesses better rate capability comparing with powderlike graphene active materials reported previously. The influence of the annealing temperature on the charge-discharge performance of graphen...

This study aims to determine the effect of adding lime juice and maltodextrin concentration on characteristics cucumber powder drink (Cucumis sativus L.) using foam mat drying method. The method used in this was a randomized block design (RBD) two factorials consisting with (5%, 15%, 25%) (15%, 20%, 25%). So that there were 9 treatment combinations. Each repeated 3 times, so 27 trials obtained....

In this research, foaming technology was applied to obtain powdered yogurt from commercial at lower temperatures than the typical used during dehydration process; viability of lactic acid bacteria (LAB) evaluated after application different drying techniques (conventional drying, freeze and vacuum drying). Three formulas (F1, F2, F3) based on a agent (albumen), stabilizers (guar gum), prebiotic...
