The replication of the human sense of touch in robots or prostheses would greatly enhance their ability to interact with the environment. This thesis investigates the possibility to rebuild a human fingertip with its mechanical sensing capabilities. A soft, human-sized artificial fingertip was developed, equipped with an array of 144 tactile sensors (taxels). These 0.5 mm diameter taxels can detect touch, vibrations, and shear, enabling the artificial finger to distinguish between different external stimuli. This thesis describes the design of the taxels, the fabrication as well as the characterization. The taxels can sense pressures with a sensitivity of 2.6 kPa−1 and were tested in a temperature range of 20 - 80° C as well as over 10'000 cycles. The sensing characteristics are determined by the thickness of a spray-coated silicone layer that encases the sensors, increasing their robustness to external influences. The static and dynamic sensing capabilities of the encapsulated taxels were evaluated. The sensitivity can be modifed according to the needs of an application. Skin thicknesses between 0 - 660µm allowed sensitivities of 0.86 - 0.035 kPa−1. A similar trend was observed for dynamic sensing capabilities. The softness of a human finger was measured to create an artificial finger of similar conformity. Simulation results supported the transfer of taxel characteristics from on-chip to the soft fingertip. Miniaturized readout electronics allowed to read the full finger at 220 Hz, enabling the observation of touch and slipping events on the artificial finger and the estimation of the contact force. Slipping events can be detected as vibrations registered by individual sensors, while the contact force can be estimated by averaging sensor array readouts. The robustness of the fingers was tested by applying 15 N for >2000 times, which resulted in only minor degradation in stiffened membranes. Neural networks were tested to extract simple features like object recognition or the evaluation of contact force and location. Good classification scores of ∼90% could be achieved on an early version of the artificial finger.

Nail fungus can develop beneath the nail plate in what is known as the nail matrix. This makes it challenging for traditional approaches to reach deep enough. However, there are ways to support healthier-looking nails and fight the discomfort associated with it. As a result, any remaining fungus continues to grow, reinfecting the nails and leading to a persistent cycle of damage and regrowth. Turn on the device using the start button Set the timer to 7 minutes Attach the device to the affected nail area Let it work until the session ends During the 7-minute session, thousands of laser pulses penetrate the nail to target and destroy the fungus. The laser beam disrupts the fungal structure, killing it permanently. PODOclear has developed a simple, at-home device that uses Low-Light Laser Therapy (LLLT) to target and eliminate nail fungus—introducing the PODOclear LLLT Antifungal Device. PODOclear operates at a 905nm focused wavelength, ensuring that it only targets the fungus—without affecting your skin or body. PODOclear has developed a simple, at-home device that uses Low-Light Laser Therapy (LLLT) to target and eliminate nail fungus—introducing the PODOclear LLLT Antifungal Device. It is recommended to use PODOclear twice a day for 7 minutes per session: Once in the morning after waking up Once in the evening before going to bed How to Use PODOclear 1⃣ Connect the device to power using the provided USB-C cable 2⃣ Turn on the device using the start button 3⃣ Set the timer to 7 minutes 4⃣ Attach the device to the affected nail area 5⃣ Let it work until the session ends ✅ Afterwards, continue your day as usual! PODOclear uses antifungal lasers to penetrate deep into the nail bed, where fungus hides and thrives. By directly targeting fungal infections, the device disrupts fungal cell reproduction while simultaneously promoting tissue repair and regeneration. Equipped with 15 powerful lasers, PODOclear’s Low-Light Laser Technology has been clinically proven to eliminate even the most stubborn nail fungus—ensuring it disappears for good.

Design Philosophy The flagship piece of Endura’s Aero collection, the Encapsulator Suit™ represents the pinnacle of aerodynamic cycle-wear for the rider who is obsessed with speed. Using Drag2Zero’s (D2Z) cutting edge technology the skin suit has been proven on multiple UCI WorldTour races. On the track the suit has helped Alex Dowsett, Bridie O’Donnell and Vittoria Bussi break the UCI Hour Records and leave their mark in cycling history. Over 80 different skin suits have been created, tested and remastered to reach the point where we are finally content to release it to the wider market. Optimised for speeds over 45kph and in a TT position, the Encapsulator Suit™ is the go-to piece for any time trial rider looking to reach a new level.Optimised For Time Trial Bike Speed Range 46-58KPH (28-36MPH)While most brands test at one single speed, Endura Drag2Zero® understands the critical variations in aerodynamic efficiency at different speeds and in different riding positions. As an example, a suit optimised for a TT rider, averaging 50kph in an aggressive aero position is not necessarily the fastest suit for a rider on a road bike, chasing a sportive PB averaging 35kph. Developing the Endura D2Z® range around this broader philosophy has resulted in products which are finely tuned to the requirements of the target rider, not only faster at one selected data point but across a range of speeds.Surface Silicone Topography – SST™This exclusive, patent pending technology has been developed by Endura in close collaboration with Simon Smart of Drag2Zero® and validated by the world’s top road riders on the UCI WorldTour. SST™ is the result of years of R & D, studying airflow in wind tunnel alongside the development of new production methods to bring theoretical ideas to real world riding. Strategically positioned 3D chevrons positively affect airflow around the body, reducing drag at the speeds relevant to the target rider.Encapsulator PocketInitially banned, then accepted, by the UCI the Encapsulator pocket has had a short, but controversial life. The super fine, translucent mesh allows race numbers to be clearly visible while retaining the breathability of the pocket area around the number. Providing a simple solution to the challenge of neatly attaching a race number, the Encapsulator pocket also protects the delicate fabrics from the damage caused by pins. 1000 Series (Aero) Seat PadThe 1000 series Italian stretch pad features is sculpted from a single block of foam so, unlike traditional layered pads, there are no clunky steps in pad thickness. The BioCeramic® high stretch, fast wicking face fabric incorporates a permanent antibacterial finish, completing one of the most advanced pads in existence. The “Aero” version of the pad, used in the D2Z® Encapsulator Suit™ is specially shaped to suit a more aggressive riding position. Multi Fabric ConstructionEndura’s vast experience of garment construction and rigorous pursuit of “faster” fabrics comes together in the D2Z® apparel collection. The D2Z® Encapsulator Suit™ deploys 5 different fabrics in combination to meet the demands of fit, comfort, durability and aerodynamic efficiency.90 Day Satisfaction GuaranteeSo confident are we in this product that, if you are not entirely satisfied with it, we offer a no-quibble refund or replacement within 90 days of purchase.
