Sensors for Hospital Beds Help Prevent Pressure Ulcers
The US healthcare system is witnessing high demand on existing infrastructure from the expanding aging population. The U.S Census Bureau cited that by 2030, all baby boomers will be at least 65 years old which means one in every five residents will meet the retirement age. The National Center for Biotechnology Information (NCBI) predicts that […]

Grass Bag Fill Sensor for Robotic Mowers
A lawn mower is one of the most effective equipment for keeping grassy lawns trimmed and beautiful. Some mowers come with an alert to let the operator know when the grass bag is full, thus preventing a trail of mulch on the lawn that would require manual raking. While using a traditional mower without a […]

Cost Effective Flow Sensing Solution for Positive Airway Pressure Devices
Obstructive Sleep Apnea (OSA) is a common breathing disorder that occurs while individuals are . While we’re sleeping, our airwards are typically more relaxed. Sleep apnea can cause narrowing and collapsing of the airways during this relaxed state interrupting normal breathing. There are many people living with OSA – about 5-10% of people worldwide. Many […]

Why an Electric Skateboard Shuts Off While Traveling Downhill
I picked up my electric skateboard and headed out of my house on top of a hill. With a fully charged battery, new shiny red helmet and cool Southern California breeze, I looked forward to a nice ride around the neighborhood. The brushless DC motor hummed loudly on the quiet street as I throttled the […]
