Developed by the researchers at The University of Texas Research Institute, the Adaptive Spine Board is a revolutionary instrument that can be implemented atop a standard stretcher or spine board to reduce pressure injuries caused by long immobilization during emergency rescues. The air-cell technology and sensor-driven pressure modulation used in…
Dr. Shiyao Lin has been awarded funding from the Research Enhancement Program administered by UTA’s Office of Vice President for Research and Innovation for his project Novel Damage-Tolerant Composites Enabled by Hybrid Biomimetic Designs and Multi-Material Additive Manufacturing.

Dr. Veysel Erel and Dr. Muthu Wijesundara have been awarded a new patent for their “Corrugated Diaphragm Actuator.” This invention presents a mechanical actuator that utilizes a corrugated diaphragm as the actuator element. In particular, the actuator consists of one or more corrugated diaphragms positioned on one or more walls…
Researchers at UTARI, in collaboration with faculty and students at the University of Georgia, have developed an advanced model to better understand lay error—the precision with which individuals align sight crosshairs with a target. Funded by the US Army DEVCOM Analysis Center, the study began with creating a photo-realistic tank-gunning…
