Bioadaptive Technology and a Bone Lengthening Device, pages 16-17
"There are innovations that come and go through the markets boosted by effective marketing, and then there are innovations that answer to a human need so sore and painful that they are born celebrities. In traditional distraction ontogenesis there has a need for an innovation. In humans the big limb bones can nowadays be made longer in a most painful way." Road more about bioadaptive technology and a bone lengthening device developed at the department of electronics in Polysteekki.
Power to the Laptops, pages 28-31
"It happens with almost every electric device - they run out of power. Presently, a large part of the worldwide research activity in the field of small fuel cells is directed towards using mobile and portable fuel cells to replace batteries and find small-sized, lightweight, yet efficient and long-lasting power sources for mobile devices. Biofuel cells, that have been actively studied at TKK since the early 1990s, may still offer a solution. IPPES project aim to create scientific basis and new technology for a micro fuel cell system intended for portable electronic appliances of power range 0.5 – 20 W."
