  • Publication number: 20160140319
    Abstract: Orthoses with microprocessor control placed around the joint of a patient are used to perform and to monitor isometric, range-of-motion, proprioception and isotonic exercises of the joint. A variety of improved hardware elements result in an orthosis that is easier to use and interacts more efficiently with the controller to allow the monitoring of a greater range of motions while holding down cost and provide suitable accurate evaluation of the exercises. Efficient ways of programming the exercises, monitoring the exercises and evaluating the exercise provide a comprehensive program for the rehabilitation of an injured or weakened joint.

  • Patent number: 4933683
    Abstract: A jettisoning cover for a munition arranged to be held against the end of a ring secured to the end of a munition which is fired at a high velocity through the atmosphere. The cover protects the contents of the munition from the high velocity through the atmosphere but is jettisoned after the velocity has slowed. The cover is held by two clips on the ring directed over the cover and a third clip on the cover engaging a notch in the ring. A detent mounted within a recess in the ring extending into a hole in the cover secures the cover in place.The detent is secured by a shear pin through the detent and an adjacent slider in an arcuate channel. The slider is propelled by an explosive powered piston which shears the shear pin to release the cover. A spring from the cover is wrapped around the ring when the cover is attached and provides energy to jettison the cover when the cover is released.

  • Patent number: 4712478
    Abstract: An align at fire safe and arm and electrical power supply module 10 for an electronically fuzed land mine 12. The module 10 is removably mounted into the land mine 12. Reserve batteries 16 are contained in the module 10 and are energized when a safety pin 25 is removed during mine emplacement. A slider 30 is located in the module housing 14. When the slider 30 is in its safe position, the firing train 57 of the warhead 65 of the mine 12 is interrupted. When the slider 30 is driven into its armed position by a piston actuator 32 in response to an align signal being produced by the fuzing subsystem 87 of the mine 12, the firing train 57 is completed through a transfer lead 60 located in the slider 30. The firing train detonator 44 may then be functioned by an electrical firing signal produced by the fuzing subsystem which will event the warhead 65. Detonating the firing train detonator 44 before the slider 30 is driven into its armed position, self-neutralizes the mine 12.

  • Patent number: 4425834
    Abstract: Apparatus for dispensing mines of short, circularly cylindrical configuration about a spin axis, comprising, in combination, a housing having an opening, an arm mounted in the housing for angular movement about a first pivotal axis between first and second positions, a spring means actuating the arm toward the second position, drive mechanism operable to move the arm to, and releaseably hold the arm in, the first position, a cylindrical friction member arcuate about the first pivotal access from a site adjacent to the opening, and a holder mounted on the arm to receive a mine with its spin axis parallel to the pivotal axis and with its cylindrical surface in engagement with the friction member, so that when the arm is moved into the first position and released, a mine in the holder is propelled along said friction member and is ejected through the opening, while rotating about the spin access.

  • Patent number: 4262598
    Abstract: An impact delay fuse for a spin launched shell for delaying detonation of e explosive charge of the shell until after impact of the shell with a target. The impact delay fuse includes a hollow housing adapted to be positioned in the shell for rotation therewith in a first direction about a shell spin axis when the shell is launched, a detonation means for detonating the explosive charge of the shell, a rotatable locking member coaxially mounted within the housing for locking the detonation means in a loaded position, and a sensing and firing mechanism for controlling rotation of the locking member to move the locking member to a release position to release the detonation means to detonate the explosive charge of the shell.
