Frequency-Selective Surface-Based MIMO Antenna Array for 5G Millimeter-Wave Applications.

In this paper, a radiating element consisting of a modified circular patch is proposed for MIMO arrays for 5G millimeter-wave applications. The radiating elements in the proposed 2 × 2 MIMO antenna array are orthogonally configured relative to each other to mitigate mutual coupling that would otherwise degrade the performance of the MIMO system. The MIMO array was fabricated on Rogers RT/Duroid high-frequency substrate with a dielectric constant of 2.

Design of a Planar Sensor Based on Split-Ring Resonators for Non-Invasive Permittivity Measurement.

The permittivity of a material is an important parameter to characterize the degree of polarization of a material and identify components and impurities. This paper presents a non-invasive measurement technique to characterize materials in terms of their permittivity based on a modified metamaterial unit-cell sensor. The sensor consists of a complementary split-ring resonator (C-SRR), but its fringe electric field is contained with a conductive shield to intensify the normal component of the electric field.

RehabFork: An Interactive Game-assisted Upper Limb Stroke Rehabilitation System.

In this paper, we present the design and development of a game-assisted stroke rehabilitation system RehabFork that allows a user to train their upper-limb to perform certain functions related to the task of eating. The task of eating is divided into several components: (i) grasping the eating utensils such as a fork and knife; (ii) lifting the eating utensils; (iii) using the eating utensils to cut a piece of food; (iv) transferring the food to the mouth; and (v) chewing the food. The RehabFork supports the user through sub-tasks (i)-(iii).
