| Career Accomplishments: |
Dr. Farber created a new approach in education which is a unique proprietary patenting teaching object oriented method, based on patterns and images. It is a unified physics education system. He also incorporates the use of decision algorithms for solving logic problems. Dr. Farber's pioneer magneto rheological fluids appliances are being used in a new generation of computer control prosthetics and muscle training machine which are based on myoelectric control. His inventions won 6 gold and 1 silver award during the World Exhibition of Inventions in Brussels and have been produced in the space/rocket industry. The inventions have helped hundreds of thousands of patients in the area of rehabilitation. Some of his inventions have been used for patient rehabilitation after strokes, and in space for spacemen in spaceships as well as for the orbital space station. |
