introducing myself

[jat...@gmail.com]

Dear All,

Hi. My name's Marcelo. I joined this group in order to contribute
since I'm really interested in this subject. I study and teach
biomedical electronics engineering and prosthetics is the field I'm
most interested in.
I really liked the Open Myoelectric signal processor project. Who
should I contact to start contributing in it?

I'm really enthusiastic with this great idea!
congratulations you all,

all the best,
Marcelo

Hi Marcelo,

I am a research assistant for Given Limb Foundation. We intend to
develop a set of tools that upper extremity amputees could use to
maintain their prosthesis on their own. Either it would be an all in
one tool or it would be a set of tools necessary for repair.

We have decided to incorporate the following tools :
The Elastration Band Applicator ( http://www.syrvet.com/ehibition/ehibition_default.asp?pro_id=387
)

Extra rubber bands, extra cables, cable anchors, spectra line, screws
(cut to appropriate length) of the various sizes used

Some small sets of tools like these

A Fine Iris Surgical Scissors

A hemostat to use as a clamp, e.g. when you are adjusting a harness
or
threading spectra

And a small attractive pouch to carry all this stuff while on
vacation
or for a conference.

Would love to have your suggestions as to
1.What is your opinion on the tool kit ?
2. What should be contained in the tool kit
3. Whether you prefer an "all in one tool kit" or a number of small
tools in the tool kit.

Thanks

Swagata
