Protein-protein Interfaces

14.7K
Many proteins form complexes to carry out their functions, making protein-protein interactions (PPIs) essential for an organism's survival. Most PPIs are stabilized by numerous weak noncovalent chemical forces. The physical shape of the interfaces determines the way two proteins interact. Many globular proteins have closely-matching shapes on their surfaces, which form a large number of weak bonds. Additionally, many PPIs occur between two helices or between a surface cleft and a...

Machines

Machines are complex structures consisting of movable, pin-connected multi-force members that work together to transmit forces. One example of a machine is the cutting plier, which is used to cut wires by applying forces to its handles. When equal and opposite forces are exerted on the handles of the cutting plier, they cause the cutting edges to come together and apply equal and opposite reaction forces on the wire, which are greater than the applied forces.

Hand hygiene

Asepsis is the practice of preventing or breaking the chain of infection. The nurse employs aseptic techniques to prevent the spread of microorganisms and reduce the risk of diseases. Hand hygiene is the cornerstone of aseptic techniques and is classified into medical and surgical asepsis. Medical asepsis includes hand hygiene and the use of gloves. Surgical asepsis, or the sterile technique, refers to practices that render and keep objects and areas free of microorganisms.

Impedance Combination

Consider a string of christmas lights, each bulb symbolizing an impedance element. In this series configuration, the flow of electric current remains uniform across every component. This behavior aligns with Kirchhoff's Voltage Law (KVL), which asserts that the total impedance in such a setup equals the sum of individual impedances—akin to resistors in series. It follows that the voltage from the power source is distributed proportionally among these components, adhering to the voltage...

Impedances and Admittance

In the realm of AC circuits, passive circuit elements like resistors, inductors, and capacitors take on a different character when characterized by phasor voltage and current. Their behavior is expressed through impedance, a vital concept in AC circuit analysis.
Impedance is a measure of resistance to sinusoidal current flow in an AC circuit. Unlike their behavior in DC circuits, where inductors appear as short circuits and capacitors as open circuits, the behavior of these components in AC...

    Area of Science:

    • Biomedical Engineering
    • Rehabilitation Engineering
    • Wearable Technology

    Background:

    • Developing intuitive human-machine interfaces (HMIs) for prosthetic devices is crucial for restoring lost function.
    • Conventional prosthetic control methods often lack the dexterity and responsiveness required for complex hand movements.
    • Electrical Impedance Tomography (EIT) offers a non-invasive method to capture physiological signals related to user intent.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To develop and validate a novel HMI for hand prosthesis operation.
    • To leverage EIT and artificial neural networks (ANNs) for real-time intention recognition.
    • To assess the system's accuracy across various hand gestures.

    Main Methods:

    • Utilized an EIT system with a forearm electrode array integrated into a wristband.
    • Employed a high-performance analog front-end application-specific integrated circuit (ASIC) for precise bio-impedance measurement.
    • Trained ANNs to recognize user intentions from forearm bio-signatures corresponding to eleven distinct hand motions.
    • Implemented a gesture switching sub-grouping method for prosthesis operation.

    Main Results:

    • The system achieved high accuracy in recognizing user intentions for hand prosthesis control.
    • An accuracy of 98.5% was obtained with a three-gesture grouping.
    • An accuracy of 94.4% was achieved with two sets of five gestures.
    • The custom ASIC demonstrated high sensitivity (12.7 mΩp-p) and a small footprint (0.07 mm²).

    Conclusions:

    • The developed EIT-based HMI effectively translates forearm bio-impedance signals into prosthetic hand control.
    • The integration of EIT, ANNs, and a specialized ASIC enables accurate and real-time prosthetic operation.
    • This approach shows significant potential for advancing the capabilities of upper-limb prosthetics.
