Chris Call lost his entire finger tip on his right hand so he created a fingertip prosthetic.

His prosthetic allows him to do things again, like he would do if he didn’t lost his finger, for example it has a magnetic tip that helps pick up small metal objects.

黛比（Debby）想找到让她的儿子走路的方法，或者一种让他觉得自己在走路的方式。

一开始，黛比每天都背着她的儿子走路，但这是一个痛苦的任务。当时，黛比认为“必须有更好的办法”。她尝试了几种策略，将孩子与自己的身体连接，同时保证步行的过程必须使母子两者都感到舒适。经过多次尝试，Upsee出现了。

Upsee是一种移动设备，它允许患有运动障碍的儿童在成人的帮助下站立和行走。它由三部分组成（一条马具，一双凉鞋和一条腰带），采用专利设计的，耐用和可机洗和透气织物，因此照顾者和孩子都能感觉到舒适，可靠和易于清洁。

黛比记得，在第一年结束时，她可以感觉到她的孩子拉她走路，后来，家庭活动变成了现实。黛比的发明让众多活动成为现实，比如她的儿子与他的哥哥和他的父亲踢足球。

He designed an Arduino controlled device to help him perform this task and the project combines basic electronics hacking and programming with a good looking cover.

"This small project holds two bottles in a fairly nice looking box and flashes red until you take the pill. The act of picking up the bottle (the pill ingestion is assumed) is the entire interface. (...) Notice the entire thing was built without turning on a soldering iron…”, he says on his website. The innovation also senses when a bottle is removed and the timer is reset.

1992年，泰尔（Tal）参与了一项遗传学研究，发现与其他马凡氏综合症患者一样，他的升主动脉在每次血流后都无法恢复，并随着时间的推移而逐渐增生。

2000年，在定期检查期间，他被告知需要考虑进行预先性手术。然而，传统手术是漫长而复杂的，因为它采用人造移植物代替升主动脉。另外，为了防止在更换的血管上形成血栓，患者必须在终生服用抗凝血药物。塔尔不喜欢手术后他未来的生活状态，因此他开始考虑替代品。

作为一名工艺工程师，他将自己扩大的主动脉与管道问题进行了比较，因此，他认为自己必须创造出像绝缘胶带一样的，可以缠绕在主动脉外面的支持结构。这是在软管膨胀时通常采用的处理方法。他与医生一道，设计了许多CAD模型，并开发了最终的原型，即ExoVasc®。

2004年，该装置在两小时手术期间被放置于Tal体内。

“建立技术和商业团队，筹集资金，开展项目并自愿成为第一个病人并不是那么容易，特别是当我知道项目的结果可能对我未来的健康产生深远的影响时“，他解释说。

ExoVasc®个性化外部主动脉根支持是一种定制的外部支持，与患者的主动脉完全匹配。它放置在升主动脉周围，并保持完好。由于血管和瓣膜保持完好，手术能够更直接地进行，并且不需要患者服用抗凝药物。

Using marine batteries and inverters, the wheelchair has two power sources. One battery runs the actual chair and the other runs the drum kit. The speaker system for the hybrid kit was designed by Renkus-Heinz, out of Foothills Ranch, California. The pedal mechanism (designed by Axis Percussion) utilizes the shaft from a double bass drum pedal, runs from a coupling piece off his leg and bolts onto the foot plate of his Iron Cobra single pedal.

As a wheel chair user, Patrick wanted a maximum of mobility and flexibility in any weather and year round. "It has always made me very sad that wintertime limited my mobility so severely and that I had to make plans how I was traveling where: I, who have always loved winter and snow. I was surprised to find out that there was not a single, reasonably priced mobility aid on the market, one which could be attached and removed using basic manual skills", he mentioned.
