Ricardo Lembo is a phycisist who has devoted to the design and development of many different products and devices, ranging from electronic plastic cabinets to scientific instruments. He began to work in 1974 at the Department of Physics of the Buenos Aires University (Argentina) as a teacher and developing scientific instruments and diverse devices such as electronic leakage controls for NMR crossed coils probes, special ovens to study Hall effect at high temperatures, electron beams capacitive detectors, and also several laboratory techniques to manufacture small plastic parts by injection and thermoforming. In the field of Biophysics he designed and built freeze-dryers and thermal conductivity sensors to be applied in Bionics.
After 1993 he left the University and worked independently on the design of several other devices: electrical switches, low impedance vacuum valves, injection and thermoforming molds, plastic injectors and vacuum forming machines, and he began to teach several techniques to manufacture plastics pieces (see http://www.cursosplasticos.com.ar). During the last years he was also dealing with prosthetic hands and pneumatic muscles, and one of his projects deals with the development of a pneumatic muscle starting from an anisotropic mesh.
During 2002 he drawn a whole project to build a prosthetic plastic-titanium hand with fully articulated fingers, and this proposal was one of the winners of a competition organized by the government of Buenos Aires (see photo La Nacion).
Last year R. Lembo designed and built a device to inject plastic directly into a special mould built over a big water pump belonging to the AES Alicura Energy Plant (Argentina) and that couldn’t be dismantled to do the work in a conventional way.
R. Lembo is also the owner of several Patents of Invention, including the one of a thermoforming machine to mold thick plastic material without auxiliary compressed air
