Abstract: Aspects describe capturing the dynamic movement of one or more leaders and generating stimulus signals in real time for one or more followers to perform substantially the same movement. A model of each follower is optionally employed to transform the observed movement of a leader to a series of movement cues that will overcome any follower physical and cognitive limitations while maximizing the movement compliance and benefit from the directed movement. Also provided is the capability of establishing a library of therapeutic, fitness, rehabilitation or dance movement scripts that may be replayed at the follower’s convenience without a leader present. Additionally, one aspect provides for continually monitoring follower movement to detect unstable movement, an increased likelihood of a fall and gait anomalies and initiating a stimulus pattern to reduce the chance of a fall or injury.

Abstract: A method and apparatus provide for reduced cost and complexity in managing an intelligent motor in an architecture in which information is transferred between a power management device and the intelligent motor. The information may be used by an embedded processor of the motor to provide diagnostics and/or prognostics of the motor, machinery operating in conjunction with the motor, and/or a process in which the motor may be configured to operate. The power management device may remotely determine motor current information that is used by the intelligent motor to self-diagnose the intelligent motor using the motor current information.

Abstract: A wireless dynamic operating condition system is described that includes one or more wireless monitors located at a monitoring point in an instrumented machine system. The wireless monitors may be configured as a modular base with modular power supplies that can be attached to the base. The base may include integrated sensors or additional sensors may be tethered to the base. The resulting modular system allows for points to be monitored on the machine system for dynamic operating conditions that are difficult to access or are less critical than wired monitoring points. Calculations may be carried out based upon the sensed data either within the monitoring modules themselves or within specific modules that are so equipped.
