Abstract: Method of measurement of knee strength characteristics is carried out in a manner that measured person in upright position leans against dynamometers with bearing surfaces (3) and movable arm (2) and starts transition to the sitting position, thus acting on the movable arm (2), which through connected sensor (21) of angular position monitors speed of change in angular position of the movable arm (2) and acts on dynamometers with bearing surfaces (3), which measure strength generated by measured person for each lower extremity individually, whereas sensor (21) of angular position and dynamometers transmit collected data to control unit, which evaluates speed of change in angular position of movable arm (2) and visualization equipment (4) shows to measured person actual and requested speed of change in angular position of movable arm (2) in a manner that measured person adjusts speed of transition from upright to sitting position to requested speed.

Abstract: Method for forming a molded part and the molded part. The method includes applying a thermal barrier coating (TBC) system to a sand core; inserting the TBC coated sand core into a mold; and forming a cast iron part in the mold with the inserted TBC coated sand core.

Abstract: The device for lower extremity muscle force measurement in isokinetic movement conditions consists of a supporting surface (3) for knees, angular position sensor (4) equipped with an arm (5), stand with dynamometers (2) and a control unit equipped with an imaging device and containing firmware to measure, record and evaluate data from the angular position sensor (4) and dynamometers (2) connected to it. Procedure for the measurement carried out on the device is defined by the forward angular motion of the measured person kneeling on the supporting surface (3), thus producing pressure on the arm (5) that is pushed in the direction and speed of the measured person's motion, wherein the control unit (6) evaluates the change in angular position of the arm (5) and indicates the current and required speed of change in angular position on the imaging device to maintain the isokinetic movement.
