  • Patent number: 12296811
    Abstract: A vehicle pedal resistance and dampener assembly includes a dampener module defining an interior fluid-filled cavity and adapted for generating a dampening force on the vehicle pedal. A pedal resistance module generates a resistance force on the vehicle pedal. The dampener module and the resistance module are moveable relative to each other. A shaft in the dampener module extends into and is moveable in a fluid-filled sleeve in the resistance module. A pedal position sensor senses and measures the position of the vehicle pedal. A pedal force sensor senses and measures the force on the vehicle pedal. A first resistance spring is located in the sleeve of the pedal resistance module, a second resistance spring surrounds the sleeve of the pedal resistance module, a third resistance spring surrounds the shaft of the dampener module, and a fourth resistance spring surrounds the third resistance spring.

  • Publication number: 20250049381
    Abstract: The invention generally relates to motion analysis systems and methods of use thereof. In certain aspects, the system includes an image capture device, at least one accelerometer, and a central processing unit (CPU) with storage coupled thereto for storing instructions that when executed by the CPU cause the CPU to receive a first set of motion data from the image capture device related to at least one joint of a subject while the subject is performing a task and receive a second set of motion data from the accelerometer related to the at least one joint of the subject while the subject is performing the task. The CPU also calculates kinematic and/or kinetic information about the at least one joint of a subject from a combination of the first and second sets of motion data, and outputs the kinematic and/or kinetic information for purposes of assessing a movement disorder.

  • Publication number: 20250021125
    Abstract: Examples provide a brake pedal assembly including a pedal housing, a bracket for securement within a vehicle, and a pedal arm having a proximal portion pivotally supported by the pedal housing and a distal portion including a foot pad spaced from the bracket. The pedal arm pivots from an unactuated position to a fully actuated position in response to application of a force to the foot pad. A pedal emulator system provides variable operator feedback as the pedal arm pivots in response to the application of force. The pedal emulator system includes a first spring set engaged with the pedal arm at the unactuated position and operable to bias the pedal arm toward the unactuated position, and a second spring set engaged with the pedal arm only after the pedal arm pivots from the unactuated position to a first intercept position between the unactuated and fully actuated positions.
