Smart Fabrics 

   Smart fabrics, also known as smart textiles, smart garments, or smart clothing, are a type of fabric in which electronic devices such as integrated circuits, batteries, conductors, LEDs, and others are embedded to offer an added value to the wearer. Smart textiles can sense and respond to environmental stimuli, including chemical, biological, mechanical, thermal, and magnetic, among others. Thus, smart fabrics are widely used in healthcare, military and defense, fashion and entertainment, architecture, and transportation.

  Smart fabrics are made from various materials such as Kevlar, cotton, nylon, and polyester, among others. Smart textiles can both perceive or communicate the environmental conditions and can detect and process the wearer's condition. Smart fabrics are manufactured to include technologies that provide the wearer with increased functionality. Smart fabrics are widely used in the healthcare industry and military and defense. Such fabric is making clinical trials patient-friendly while providing more precise, real-time data to healthcare professionals.

  In the coming future, doctors may recommend smart fabrics to monitor for vital signs and more. Moreover, textile-based materials equipped with electronics and nanotechnology play a vital role in the development of technologically advanced military materials and uniforms. Active intelligent textile systems, integrated to electronics, can help improve the soldier’s performance by sensing, adopting, and responding to a situational combat need allowing the combat soldiers to continue their mission. They are used to enhance military functionality.

  For example, in June 2021, the U.S. Army and Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) developed a technology to bring human troops one step closer; smart clothing fibers that can transform army uniforms into wearable computers. A fiber can sense, analyze, store, and infer activity when sewn into a piece of clothing. Moreover, the fibers can warn human troops of dangers ahead, such as chemical weapons attacks, and mark the wearer's location.

Total Disc Replacement complete details Of Competitive Landscape Executive Summary Development in next decade

Image
    Total disc replacement is a type of back/spine surgery in which an artificial replacement device is used to replace a damaged or degenerated disc in the lumbar or cervical region. A disc replacement, also known as an artificial disc, is a device implanted in the spine that performs the same function as a normal disc in the human body. A total disc replacement , as the name implies, is a procedure that involves the complete or partial exclusion of the disc tissue in order to implant a replacement device into the space between the vertebrae. The prostheses help to maintain spinal curvature and flexibility while reducing or possibly eliminating pain.   Cervical total disc replacement (CTDR) surgery is used to treat patients with degenerative disc disease (DDD). The most common cause of DDD in the cervical region of the spine is neck pain. For the treatment of DDD, a cervical disc replacement procedure is performed in which the degenerated disc is surgically removed and an artificial

Dengue Vaccines development and progress towards vaccine has increased over the past few years

    Dengue fever is a tropical disease spread by mosquitos that are caused by the dengue virus. 3 to 14 days after infection, symptoms appear. A high fever, headache, vomiting, muscle, and joint pains, and a distinct skin rash are all potential symptoms. In most cases, recovery takes two to seven days. In a small percentage of cases, the disease progresses to dengue hemorrhagic fever, which causes bleeding, low levels of blood platelets, and blood plasma leakage, or to dengue shock syndrome, which causes dangerously low blood pressure.   Dengue is spread by several Aides genus female mosquitoes, most notably Aides. The virus has five serotypes; infection with one type usually results in lifelong immunity to that type but only temporary immunity to the others. Subsequent infection with a different type raises the possibility of severe complications. . Dengue vaccines are a vaccine used to protect humans from dengue fever to confirm the diagnosis, a number of tests are available, includ

Non-Contact Torque Sensors Increase Fuel Economy, Improve Ride Comfort and Safety

Torque Sensors     In order to determine the most suitable torque sensor, it is necessary to understand the application and environment. Some applications may require underwater sensors, while others may only need a torque sensor. The type of mounting and assembly is also important. Some are mounted flange-to-flange, while others are mounted shaft-to-shaft. The torque sensors must be able to detect the rotational force in both clockwise and counterclockwise directions.   The most common design for a torque sensor uses bonded strain gauge technology. The strain gauges are bonded to a shaft with a 45-degree inclination. The application will determine the type of cross-section and materials used for the shaft. Depending on the application, a cruciform, square, or a circular cross-section is appropriate. Some torque sensors are made from a combination of these materials.   When selecting a torque sensor, make sure to consider its physical and environmental requirements. The temperature, hu
