The project deals with the open issues and future perspectives of joint prostheses. The main topic of the project concerns wear of the bearing surfaces. Cobalt-chromium-molybdenum alloys are widely used in total hip and knee joint replacement. They are able to form efficient artificial joints by means of coupling metal-on-polymer or metal-on-metal contacts. However, a […]

This project focus on the evaluation of the memristive technology applied to a specific pattern recognition problem. In particular, we selected as pattern recognition problem the arrhythmia detection and we compared the memristive technology performance with the currently used one based on classical technology. The memristor is a newly discovered electronic component that can be
