Abstract: An information flow control device has: a first network interface card on a transmission side, the first network interface card including first and second transceivers, each of the first and second transceivers having a transmit port and a receive port; and a second network interface card on a receiving side, the second network interface card including at least one receive port. A first data connection segment connects the first transceiver transmit port to the second transceiver receive port, a second data connection segment connects the second transceiver transmit port to the first transceiver receive port, and a third data connection segment connects the first transceiver transmit port to the receive port of the second network interface card. The first and second segments provide continuity, while the third segment provides one-way data transfer. The first and second transceivers are replaceable with third and fourth transceivers to provide different throughput.

Interconnection of the first and second transceivers provides continuity while connection of the first transceiver transmit port and the receive port of the second network interface card enables hardware-enforced one-way data transfer.

Abstract: Motion capture and haptic glove systems/methods and devices are provided in this invention.

Abstract: Manipulator systems and methods are provided in which there is at least one slave manipulator assembly and at least one controller assembly in communication with the slave manipulator assembly. The controller assembly is configured to remotely operate the slave manipulator assembly, and the slave manipulator assembly provides feedback information to the controller assembly. The feedback information may include a measure of an amount of resistance or movement on the slave manipulator assembly. The systems and methods may be configured to automatically switch between at least two modes of operation when an amount of resistance or movement on the slave manipulator assembly fluctuates above and below a threshold amount of resistance or movement on the slave manipulator assembly.

Abstract: Manipulator systems and methods comprise at least one slave manipulator assembly, at least one controller assembly in communication with the slave manipulator assembly, and a controller computer in communication with the controller assembly. The controller assembly is configured to remotely operate a physical or virtual slave manipulator assembly, and the slave manipulator assembly provides feedback information to the controller assembly. The feedback information may include a measure of an amount of resistance or movement on the slave manipulator assembly. The controller computer may include a flip-flop circuit configured to automatically switch between at least two modes of operation comprised of: spatially correspondent mode and a type of control mode.
