While stroke patients often suffer long-term disability with walking impairments, their gait can improve with aerobic exercise such as treadmill training. However, using standard treadmills to train stroke patients poses some challenges. Current treadmills have pre-programmed speed control, where the speed remains constant during the course of the exercise but would change at pre-programmed times or when manually directed. They lack automated safe speed progression and are unable to adapt to the slower walking speeds of stroke survivors.

Current self-cleaning coating products in the market tend to be less durable or allow a reduced amount of the light to be transmitted. For solar panels, coatings are generally applied in two ways. Solution-based coatings are less durable and must be regularly re-applied, as they do not bond to a surface long enough to last the lifetime of a solar panel. Coatings applied using vapour phase processes could significantly reduce the light transmission of the substrate, adversely affecting the power output of a solar panel.
