Abstract: A device for operating a vehicle involving handlebars using a residual arm. A user places a residual arm in a socket of the device, and the user may move the socket to translate force to a handlebar containment unit to cause movement of a handlebar. A handlebar channel of the handlebar containment unit receives and secures a portion of the handlebar.

Abstract: A prosthetic device is described for assisting amputees in touching, gripping, and repositioning various objects. In one example of the device of the present invention, the device has a first socket for receiving a portion of a residual arm below an elbow, and a second socket attached to and/or rotatable with respect to the first socket. The second socket may receive a portion of the residual arm above the elbow. Movement of the residual arm within the device may define movement of the device, such as, for example, gripping movement of a prosthetic hand of the device.

Abstract: A die assembly for use with a stamping die. The die assembly having a system for monitoring a gas pressure in the stamping die. The system including first and second piston-cylinder assemblies acting on a flag block wherein movement of the flag block corresponds to a pressure change. A sensor detects a movement of the flag block.
