Pressure Sensors and Transducers Help Make Dummies More Life-Like
Electrical, computer, and biological engineering combine in creating baby-patient simulators for training new pediatricians. A new simulator incorporates microelectromechanical systems (MEMs) and ... > more -
Structural Engineers Develop Disaster-Resistant Technology
A new bridge design replaces reinforced concrete columns and bars with steel tubes filled with concrete. The steel and concrete bind, creating strong yet supple columns For the bridge pier's footing, ... > more -
Portable Machines Go Beyond Prenatal Uses
Ultrasound uses sound waves that bounce off body parts, producing echoes. A computer translates the echoes into images that rival the quality of CAT scans and MRIs, showing broken bones, muscle ... > more -
Automotive Engineers Team Up to Improve Energy-Saving Technology
Mechanical and electrical engineers at DaimlerChrysler, General Motors and BMW have jointly developed a hybrid-vehicle technology that shuts the internal combustion engine off when the vehicle stops. ... > more -
Pavement Markings Make Drivers Feel They Are Going Too Fast
Engineers have developed new pavement markings that give drivers the illusion that the car is moving faster than it really is. The markings, called optical speed bars, are series of lines painted at ... > more -

RFID-Based Recycling Technology Makes Philadelphia Greener
Electrical engineers have developed a system that identifies a recycling bin by its household, using Radio Frequency IDentification (RFID) chips embedded in the bins. Bins are scanned and weighed ... > more -
Engineering Students Build Next-Generation Bathyscaphe
Computer, electrical, and mechanical engineering students at the University of Florida have built a fully automated underwater vehicle. Driven by five thrusters and controlled by complex electronics, ... > more -
Vision Researchers Test Theory on Visual Orientation
Vision researchers suspect that people who do not need maps to find their way may be remembering visual landmarks. To test this theory, the scientists are having volunteers navigate through a virtual ... > more -
Safer Ventilator Prevents Contamination From Water Condensation
Doctors can now keep patients who are in respiratory care safer with a new kind of ventilator. Ventilator oxygen is completely dry and needs to be humidified for the patient's comfort, but water can ... > more -
Human-Factors Engineers Focus on User-Friendliness
Human-factors engineers -- whose training includes psychology -- specialize in testing products for usability, for example checking whether a copying machine's legs get in the way, or measuring how ... > more
