Organs-on-a-Chip (OOAC) is a disruptive technology with widely recognized potential to change the efficiency, effectiveness, and costs of the drug discovery process; to advance insights into human biology; to enable clinical research where human trials are not feasible. However, further development is needed for the successful adoption and acceptance of this technology. Areas for improvement include technological maturity, more robust validation of translational and predictive in vivo-like biology, and requirements of tighter quality standards for commercial viability. In this review, we reported on the consensus around existing challenges and necessary performance benchmarks that are required toward the broader adoption of OOACs in the next five years, and we defined a potential roadmap for future translational development of OOAC technology. We provided a clear snapshot of the current developmental stage of OOAC commercialization, including existing platforms, ancillary technologies, and tools required for the use of OOAC devices, and analyze their technology readiness levels. Using data gathered from OOAC developers and end-users, we identified prevalent challenges faced by the community, strategic trends and requirements driving OOAC technology development, and existing technological bottlenecks that could be outsourced or leveraged by active collaborations with academia.

The developments of medical practices and medical technologies have always progressed concurrently. The relatively recent developments in endoscopic technologies have allowed the realization of the “minimally invasive” form of surgeries. The advancements in robotics facilitate precise surgeries that are often integrated with medical image guidance capability. This in turn has driven the further development of technology to compensate for the unique complexities engendered by this new format and to improve the performance and broaden the scope of the procedures that can be performed. Medical robotics has been a central component of this development due to the highly suitable characteristics that a robotic system can purport, including highly optimizable mechanical conformation and the ability to program assistive functions in medical robots for surgeons to perform safe and accurate minimally invasive surgeries. In addition, combining the robot-assisted interventions with touch-sensing and medical imaging technologies can greatly improve the available information and thus help to ensure that minimally invasive surgeries continue to gain popularity and stay at the focus of modern medical technology development. This paper presents a state-of-the-art review of robotic systems for minimally invasive and noninvasive surgeries, precise surgeries, diagnoses, and their corresponding technologies.

Purpose The purpose of this paper is to present an acoustics-based method for measuring turbofan nozzle exhaust thrust, while assessing the potential of scaling the methods for in-flight measurements. Design/methodology/approach Although many methods proposed for achieving in-flight thrust measurements involve complicated, sensitive and expense instruments, an acoustics-based approach is discussed that greatly simplifies the technology development pathway to in-flight applications. Findings Results are provided for a minimum set of sensors applied in the exhaust of a research turbofan engine at Virginia Tech, showing the difference in acoustics-measured thrust and nozzle thrust found by integrating thermocouple and Kiel probe measurements to be less than 6 per cent at the maximum fan speed examined. Practical implications Measuring accurate thrust values in flight will prove immediately valuable for installed thrust validation and engine health monitoring. Acoustics-based methodologies are attractive because of the robustness and low cost of sensors and sources. The value of in-flight thrust measurements, along with the benefits of acoustic approaches, makes the current topic of great interest for further development. Originality/value This paper presents unique applications of a time-of-flight acoustic thrust sensor, while providing an original assessment of technological challenges involved with the progression of the technique for in-flight measurements.

The problem of combining analytics and digitalization in electrical engineering is considered. It is noted that the genesis of digitalization (the development of modern mathematical modeling methods, construction of computers, and development of information technologies) is associated with the military confrontation of great powers, and its development is associated with business. The individual stages of digitalization in electrical engineering are highlighted, and the features and conditionality of these features are noted. Attention is focused on information technologies, neural networks, digital twins, and artificial intelligence. The computer technology development level in Russia is assessed. The problem of creating digital twins of transformers is specially considered. It is shown that the analytical theory of transformers, in which analytical interrelations are established between the electromagnetic, structural, operating, and circuit parameters of transformers, makes it possible to determine, in a highly accurate manner, the set of the most informative electromagnetic (nameplate) parameters of a transformer based on the measurement of currents and voltages of its windings. Such mapping of measurement data into control data is given. It is noted that analytics is underestimated and has good prospects as a concept of solving problems for creating digital counterparts and for the digitalization process itself.
