  • Publication number: 20240350033
    Abstract: A physiological feature of a subject is monitored by implanting a plurality of targets, such as magnets, and detecting at least one change in a physical property of the targets, followed by modifying a physiological feature of the subject in response to a change of state detected by the change in physical property detected in the targets. Cutaneous sensory feedback and proprioceptive feedback in a subject, as well as selective stimulation of axons or nerve fascicles of a neuron of a subject are provided.

  • Publication number: 20220257389
    Abstract: An autonomous wearable leg device employs an array of sensors embedded along a support area, whereby a controller can generate a controlling command and send a controlling command to a prosthetic, orthotic, exoskeletal or wearable component to thereby control the prosthetic, orthotic, exoskeletal or wearable component. A method for controlling autonomous wearable device collects kinetic signals from an array of sensors embedded in a prosthetic, orthotic or exoskeletal component, wherein all values are extracted from at least one feature of the collected kinetic signals, which are applied to a controller that generates a controlling command that is sent to the prosthetic, orthotic exoskeletal component to thereby control the prosthetic, orthotic or exoskeletal component during a portion of a gait cycle.

  • Patent number: 9600100
    Abstract: An interactive input system comprises at least one imaging device configured to capture image frames of a region of interest comprising a background and at least one background feature. Processing structure is configured to compare the image frames to determine if the location of the at least one background feature has changed signifying system displacement.

  • Publication number: 20140304584
    Abstract: A computer-implemented method and system for generating sports statistics and sharing sports statistics on a website includes a statistic creation manager configured to access a database of sports data, to receive user selections as a function of the sport data, and upon receiving the user selections to generate a sports statistic as a function of those user selections a statistic feed manager configured to tag the sports statistic with one or more received user selections to permit display of the sports statistic on the website as a function of the tag.

  • Publication number: 20080089650
    Abstract: A fiber optic connector for mounting to a cable having a plurality of optical fibers and optically connecting the optical fibers to mating optical fibers, wherein the optical fibers and the mating optical fibers have termini mounted to respective ends thereof. The connector comprises a generally cylindrical plug body, a plug insert and a biasing member. The plug body has a longitudinal axis, a wall defining a central longitudinal passage, and a circumferential groove formed on the outer surface of the wall dimensioned to receive portions of a U-shaped securing staple. The plug insert has a front face and is longitudinally slidably disposed within a first portion of the longitudinal passage for longitudinal movement between an extended position and a compressed position. The insert defines a plurality of termini cavities formed longitudinally through the front face for mounting a plurality of the termini of the optical fibers therein.
