Recent applications of wearable inertial measurement units (IMUs) for predicting human movement have often entailed estimating action-level (e.g., walking, running, jumping) and joint-level (e.

This modular approach enables fine-tuning of the through-space charge transfer (TSCT) state formation between the lone pair localized on the nitrogen atom in the cage moiety and the quinoline moiety by variation of both the intramolecular -aryl distance and quinoline substitution. Decreasing this -aryl distance enhances the formation of the TSCT species, giving control over the emission color and photoluminescence quantum yield.
View Article and Find Full Text PDFA common challenge for exoskeleton control is discerning operator intent to provide seamless actuation of the device with the operator. One way to accomplish this is with joint angle estimation algorithms and multiple sensors on the human-machine system. However, the question remains of what can be accomplished with just one sensor.

This study explored the behaviour, attitudes and acceptability of patients, healthcare professionals (HCPs) and managers of using DPC in low-risk patients.
Methods: Mixed-method, investigation involving patient interviews and staff focus groups at three NHS acute hospitals.
