Electrogenic Pump Molecule Control
Activation of electrogenic pump molecules can be realized by a dynamic entrainment procedure which includes two steps: synchronization of individual pump molecules to work at the same pumping pace, and gradual modulation of the synchronization frequency. We studied synchronization of the Na/K pump molecules in a physiological running mode by applying the concept of an electronic synchrotron to the biological system.

Medical Mask for Epileptic and Febrile Seizures
We have designed , constructed and tested a novel partial rebreathing mask that uses special membranes to facilitate a beneficial composition of the inspired air, in which the CO2 level is raised without incurring hypoxia. This concept allows for a compact and lightweight device, as opposed to the current option of bulky and expensive gas cylinders.
