The reason the human body cannot last without water is simply because the body composition of a human is 70% water.

Abstract—This paper aims at briefly discussing the various techniques used in tactile sensing and then compares them. Next, different types of commercial tactile sensors, along with suitable performance criteria for their comparison are discussed. Finally, currently existing commercial sensors are talked about in detail, including the leading manufacturers, their products and the description of their data sheet. Keywords— Artificial skin; Commercial; Sensors; Tactile. I. INTRODUCTION The word…

the product. This will require that the implant be replaced by the surgeon. Improper implantation is just one complication that occurs with a penile implant.

Medications could help with erectile dysfunction, however surgery is considered…

INVESTIGATION OF ELECTRO-MECHANICAL FACTORS EFFECTING PIEZOELECTRIC ACTUATOR FOR VALVELESS MICROPUMP CHARACTERISTICS Abstract In this study, a new micropump was designed which is suitable for medical applications regarding size and flow rate. When a micropump is used to control the amount of drug delivery, the flow rate is a key parameter and can be controlled with the diaphragm displacement. The amount of displacement depends on the thickness of piezoelectric element, voltage,…

decreases the likelihood of suspect injury by 70 and officers by 65 percent (Bulman, 2010). Another advantage is that some of the weaponry is inexpensive for budget conscious law enforcement agencies. Bean bags, for example, are pouches filled with lead, silicone, or rubber balls fired from a shotgun. They cost from $4.50 to $6.50 per round (Hager, 2015). Many of the less-than-lethal technologies, such the bean bag, can be incorporated into everyday use as well. Even though less-lethal may…
