Enhanced Visual Feedback of a Prosthetic or Robotic Manipulator

Invention SummaryA novel method to visually convey the magnitude of applied grip force by a prosthetic or robotic hand. Lights are attached to the moving elements of the prosthetic which is equipped with sensors. The sensors are used to change the intensity and make it easy to discern the applied force by a manipulator. With the additional force feedback...

UP-Stimulator [Utah Slanted Electrode Array Pudendal Nerve-Stimulator]

Invention Summary This invention consists of a novel technique for controlling urination, or micturition. It consists of implanting the Utah Slanted Electrode Array (USEA) into the pudendal nerve to provide the capacity to selectively contract and relax the two major muscle groups involved in normal voiding, the detrusor and external urethral sphincter...

A Sensor for Ketone Body Detection

Invention Summary Elevated ketone levels often indicate diseases such as diabetic mellitus. Type 1 Diabetic patients often have a need to test their ketone levels to ensure they are at healthy levels and not suffering from ketosis. Current tests for ketones are either performed through invasive blood sampling or urine testing. University of Utah inventors...
