A FLEXIBLE STRAIN SENSOR BASED ON A CONDUCTIVE POLYMER COMPOSITE FOR IN SITU MEASUREMENT OF PARACHUTE CANOPY DEFORMATION

A Flexible Strain Sensor Based on a Conductive Polymer Composite for in situ Measurement of Parachute Canopy Deformation

A sensor based on a Conductive Polymer Composite (CPC), fully compatible with a textile substrate and its general properties, has been developed in our laboratory, and its electromechanical characterization is presented herein.In particular the effects of strain rate (from WELLAPLEX #2 BOND STABILIZER 10 to 1,000 mm/min) and of repeated elongation

Clinician perspectives and recommendations regarding design of clinical prediction models for deteriorating patients in acute care

Abstract Background Successful deployment of clinical prediction models for clinical deterioration relates not only to predictive performance but to integration into the decision making process.Models may demonstrate good discrimination and calibration, but fail to match the needs of practising acute care clinicians who receive, interpret, and act
