Patent number: 12115663Abstract: An exoskeleton system, the exoskeleton system comprising one or more actuator units that include a fluidic actuator, one or more sensors and an exoskeleton device. The exoskeleton device includes a fluidic system, and a processor and memory, the memory storing instructions, that when executed by the processor, are configured to control the exoskeleton system to introduce fluid to the fluidic actuator of the one or more actuator units to cause actuation of the fluidic actuator of the one or more actuator units. The exoskeleton system may be configured to operate in, on or around a body of water and can be water and/or corrosion resistant.Type: GrantFiled: August 17, 2022Date of Patent: October 15, 2024Assignee: Roam Robotics Inc.Inventors: Mario Perez, Kyle Kaveny, Ronald Lam, Kris Li, Collin Smith, Linus Park, Scott Schoeffel, Kevin Conrad Kemper, Timothy Alan Swift

Publication number: 20230321466Abstract: A compact, mask-mountable powered air purifying respirator (“PAPR”) includes a housing and an impeller driven by a motor to draw air in through an inlet in the housing and direct the air to an outlet at an opposite end of the housing. The impeller comprises S-shaped fan blades that direct the air radially outward from the bottom of the impeller. The radial airflow meets S-shaped fins on a flow straightener that redirect the airflow downward through the PAPR housing outlet. The fan blades and flow straightener drive the airflow directly and efficiently, without unnecessary travel of air through the PAPR assembly, thus providing an improved airflow efficiency.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 27, 2023Publication date: October 12, 2023Inventors: Ken Ikemoto, Collin Smith, Corey Zamenski, David Hanson

Publication number: 20210370494Abstract: An exoskeleton system comprising a leg actuator unit that is configured to be coupled to a leg of a user. The leg actuator unit includes: an upper arm and a lower arm that are rotatably coupled via a rotatable joint, the rotatable joint configured to be positioned at a knee of the user with the upper arm coupled about an upper-leg portion of the user above the knee and with the lower arm coupled about a lower-leg portion of the user below the knee. The upper arm is configured to be coupled to the upper-leg portion above the knee via a first set of couplers that includes a first upper-leg coupler, the lower arm is configured to be coupled to the lower-leg portion below the knee via a second set of couplers that includes one or more lower-leg couplers associated with a lower-leg brace, and an actuator extends between the upper arm and lower arm, the actuator configurable to move the upper arm and lower arm.Type: ApplicationFiled: May 27, 2021Publication date: December 2, 2021Inventors: Garrett Hurley, Ashley Swartz, Phil Long, Ronald Lam, Monica Ha, Callum Lamb, Collin Smith, Linus Park, Kevin Conrad Kemper, Timothy Alan Swift

Patent number: 11026867Abstract: A container assembly includes a container body, a container capable of being received within the container body, and a collar. The container body includes an upper end having a first compression surface. The container includes a first flange configured to engage the first compression surface. The collar is capable of being releasably secured to the container body. The collar includes a second compression surface. A dispensing portion includes a second flange configured to engage the second compression surface. When securing the collar to the container body, the first compression surface engages the first flange and the second compression surface engages the second flange to cause the first flange to sealingly engage the second flange.Type: GrantFiled: October 3, 2018Date of Patent: June 8, 2021Assignee: TOMY INTERNATIONAL, INC.Inventors: Collin Smith, Casey L. Moore, Kathryn Wozniak, Leda Belden, Hideo Tone
