    • Design of a hydraulic ankle-foot orthosis 

      Gmerek, Artur; Meskin, Nader; Tehrani, Ehsan Sobhani; Kearney, Robert ( IEEE Computer Society , 2016 , Conference Paper)
      This paper presents the design and simulation of an ankle-foot orthosis (AFO) to assist human walking. Design requirements were established based on a quantitative study of published data, simulations of human walking, and ...
    • Effective seizure detection through the fusion of single-feature enhanced-k-NN classifiers of EEG signals 

      Mohamed A.; Shaban K.B.; Mohamed A. ( IEEE , 2013 , Conference Paper)
      Electroencephalogram (EEG) physiological signals are widely used for detecting epileptic seizure. To reduce complexity stemming from the dimensionality problem, EEG signals are often reduced into a smaller set of discriminant ...
    • Fault tolerant tactile sensor arrays for prosthesis 

      Teja, Subrahmanya; Mekie, Joycee; Cabibihan, John-John; Thakor, Nitish V.; Kukreja, Sunil L. ( IEEE Computer Society , 2016 , Conference Paper)
      The demand for sensor networks has grown significantly over the last decade. These networks operate as a single unit, accumulating information from individual sensor nodes. Due to a matrix-like topology of these arrays, a ...
