What are adaptive and assistive bioengineered products?
146940
i would assume adaptive is products that are surgically implanted and things of that sort (also metal legs, cruches, prosthetic hands, etc). Assistive is more of resperators, and the such.... again, just a educated guess.

I've heard of biomimetics, but it is quite hard to recommend a particular site without knowing what you have in mind, or what type of inventions are you trying to develop.\nMany new materials and structures have been fabricated from observation and imitation of natural shapes and tissues. \nHere's a site with photographs from electron microscope observation.\nhttp://www.ucmp.berkeley.edu/museum/profiles/hickman/hickmantechniques.html\n\nI think you should do a search for images obtained with SEM (Scanning Electron Microscope), because these show surfaces and external details.\n\nPS If you ever invent some type of gloves or shoes that allow climbing onto vertical surfaces, like a gecko's toes, I'm interested!\nhttp://www.tc.umn.edu/~gambl007/geckos/gekko_gecko_to.jpg

a hybrid between biological/electronic technology enabling our brains to communicate directly with implanted computers, eventually in our own language. \n\nI also think anti-ageing genetic modification is on the horizon, but i fear this development. The slower people age, the longer they are going to live & our resources, both natural & financial are going to be stretched to breaking point.

That would be an exoskeleton. Basically a shell on an organism (ants, beetles, most insects), instead of having bone structures such as humans and other mammals

Add information to this question...like...what ideas?  Marketing?  Sales?  Ergonomics?  Process engineering?  Maintenance of contracts?  Vendor management?  As to inventions...that's a whole different can of worms.  What invention area are you talking about?  Better mousetrap?  Smaller shunts for arterial work inside the body?  Better metal alloy for the space shuttle?  Specifics, please as there's not a "one stop shop" for all these ideas.

A whole lot of things!  But it starts with research.\n\nI did a project on the bionic eye, which was a computer that linked directly to the visual cortex and a set of glasses.  It was awesome...the person, blind from birth, could see black and white dots, representing locations, but could not judge depth perception.\n\nI suppose biomedical engineering is going to be used for saving people's lives, like with nanotechnology.  In the works are nano computers that can enter the bloodstream and work as super-white blood cells, for example.  Other uses will be for early detection and diagnosis.  As well, there will be treatments for existing diseases, and hopefully a cure for cancer.\n\nOther possible topics for the future of BM Engin. could be the construction and easy use and application of huge bulky machines, like MRI machines.  There is also the idea of radiation treatment either being improved for precision and accuracy, or if that still is too dangerous it could be replaced by "safer" radiation or no radiatino at all.\n\nGood luck!

Something dealing with genetics.  Bioengineering is going to be huge.  \n\nHonestly, anything dealing with math and Science will land you a job since there are so few people in the United States with those skills.

Are you looking for composites in biomedical fields?\n\nAnything used in biomedial applications has to produce as few allergic reactions as possible.  So some metals are out, since some people are allergic to metals.  Biomed pieces also have to be light, since it wouldn't help to have a prosthetic arm that weighs more than the rest of your body.\n\nSo composite materials are those that require several components, sometimes arranged in layers  Think for instance of carbon fiber.  It is made of several sheets that are soaked in pitch and baked to achieve a solid piece.   It is used in prosthetic limbs, and it is a composite that is non-metallic.  Carbon fiber is light, strong, and can be made into many shapes.\n\nHope this helps.

It depends on how deep you're willing to go with the HCI context...\n\nPeople once said the ultimate HCI interaction would be when humans could successfully control computers or peripherals without 'physical' interaction.\n\nThe latest development in my mind is that there are two amputees in the world who currently are working with development teams on a new HCI concept, this is that they can have artificial limbs which are controlled by shear thought.\n\nThis process is achieved by placing electrical sensors directly onto the motor cortex at the top of the spinal cord, this is placed in as a chip which is linked to the artifical limb. Electrical impulses passing from the brain to the motor cortex are picked up and passed to the artificial limb, which has been programmed to recognise these responses as movement requests.\n\nProgramming is personal, and took years to develop for each test subject. Basically put, when the amputee thinks about lifting their arm, the request is passed to the limb, and the limb responds accordingly.\n\nI would suggest this is the latest development in HCI technologies, and poses a large number of possibilities for newer HCI concepts to become mainstream solutions for society as a whole in the future.

there are several software and devices to help the handicapped with computers. Read the following excellent article by Murphy:\nhttp://courses.cs.vt.edu/~cs3604/lib/Disabilities/murhpy.AT.html

Biotechnology or BT is industrial application of biology. Its biology in the service of mankind. It involves application of plants, animals and microorganisms in industry. On the other hand, Biomedical engineering uses traditional engineering expertise to solve problems in biology and medicine. Hearing aids, pacemakers etc. are the gifts of biomedical engineering to mankind. \n\nFor list of Biotechnology colleges and Biomedical engineering colleges, visit http://www.biotechworld.cjb.cc
