Abstract: The invention relates to an orthosis for a lower limb, with a foot part, which has a sole for supporting a foot, and with at least one leg rail, which extends from the foot part and, in the fitted state, extends along a lower leg and has devices for supporting and/or securing the leg rail on the lower leg, wherein the orthosis is assigned at least one sensor for detecting orthosis parameters, which sensor is coupled to a control device, and the foot part is assigned at least one device coupled to the control device and/or materials for changing the stiffness of the sole.

Abstract: An orthosis joint having a base body which comprises a receptacle for a proximal component, a bearing point for a distal component which is pivotally arranged on the base body, and for stops or spring elements which are acting on the distal component. The orthosis joint also includes at least one receiving element releasably fastened to the base body and in or on which a functional element that interacts with the distal component is arranged.

Abstract: A joint for an orthopaedic device, in particular an orthosis or prosthesis, wherein the joint has a first element, at least one spring element and a second element, which is mounted so as to pivot on the first element against a force applied by the at least one spring element in at least one direction. The at least one spring element has at least two helical springs which in each case are wound from a spring strip having a longer cross-sectional side upright with respect to the spring axis and are screwed into one another in such a way that the longer cross-sectional side of at least one of the helical springs has an angle different from 90° relative to the spring and that the spring strips butt against one another.

Abstract: The present disclosure relates to a fastening system for fastening a first component on a second component, wherein the first component has a first bearing surface and a first direction of extent, and the second component has a second bearing surface and a second direction of extent, and an included angle between the first direction of extent and the second direction of extent is adjustable steplessly within an angle range. The fastening system has a clamp element with which the first component can be fastened on the second component when the first bearing surface lies on the second bearing surface, and, in the fastened state of the two components, at least one force-transmitting element is clamped between the two bearing surfaces.

Abstract: Disclosed are techniques used in connection with determining a health indicator (HI) of a component, such as that of an aircraft component. The HI is determined using condition indicators (CIs) which parameterize characteristics about a component minimizing possibility of a false alarm. Different algorithms are disclosed which may be used in determining one or more CIs. The HI may be determined using a normalized CI value. Techniques are also described in connection with selecting particular CIs that provide for maximizing separation between HI classifications. Given a particular HI at a point in time for a component, techniques are described for predicting a future state or health of the component using the Kalman filter. Techniques are described for estimating data values as an alternative to performing data acquisitions, as may be used when there is no pre-existing data.
