Combustion causes a soft robot to jump: Rapid actuation of (composed silicone elastomers) was achieved using high-temperature chemical reactions. Computer-controlled electrical sparks triggered the combustion premixed CH4 and O2 gases inside robot, which pressurized pneumatic channels caused it jump (see figure). The heat from explosions dissipated quickly did not damage even over many jumps. As service our authors readers, this journal provides supporting information supplied by authors....
Wie man einem Roboter auf die Sprünge hilft: Mithilfe chemischer Hochtemperaturreaktionen gelingt es, einen weichen aus Siliconelastomeren in Gang zu setzen. Computergesteuerte Funken lösen Verbrennung von vorgemischtem O2 und CH4 im aus. Die Explosionen setzen pneumatischen Kanäle des Roboters unter Druck bringen ihn zum springen (siehe Bild). As a service to our authors and readers, this journal provides supporting information supplied by the authors. Such materials are peer reviewed may...
Abstract Background In response to supply shortages caused by the COVID-19 pandemic, N95 filtering facepiece respirators (FFRs or “masks”), which are typically single-use devices in healthcare settings, routinely being used for prolonged periods and some cases decontaminated under “reuse” “extended use” policies. However, reusability of masks is limited degradation fit. Possible substitutes, such as KN95 meeting Chinese standards, frequently fail fit testing even when new. The purpose this...
The disruption of conventional manufacturing, supply, and distribution channels during the COVID-19 pandemic caused widespread shortages in personal protective equipment (PPE) other medical supplies. These catalyzed local efforts to use nontraditional, rapid manufacturing meet urgent healthcare needs. Here we present a crisis-responsive design framework designed assist with product development under conditions. emphasizes stakeholder engagement, comprehensive but efficient needs assessment,...
Abstract Due to supply chain disruption, the COVID-19 pandemic has caused severe shortages in personal protective equipment (PPE) for health care professionals. Local fabrication based on 3D printing is one way address this challenge, particularly case of simple products such as face shields. As a consequence, many public domain designs shields have become available. No clear path exists, however, introducing locally fabricated and unapproved product into clinical setting. In US setting, are...
ABSTRACT Background In response to supply shortages during the COVID-19 pandemic, N95 filtering facepiece respirators (FFRs or “masks”), which are typically single-use devices in healthcare settings, routinely being used for prolonged periods and some cases decontaminated under “reuse” “extended use” policies. However, reusability of masks is often limited by degradation breakage elastic head bands issues with mask fit after repeated use. The purpose this study was develop a frame masks,...
The rapid spread of COVID-19 and disruption normal supply chains has resulted in severe shortages personal protective equipment (PPE), particularly devices with few suppliers such as powered air-purifying respirators (PAPRs). A scarcity information describing design performance criteria for PAPRs represents a substantial barrier to mitigating shortages. We sought apply open-source product development (OSPD) enable alternative sources further innovation. describe the design, prototyping,...
