  • Publication number: 20190219459
    Abstract: In one embodiment, a sensor network is attached to a structure and employed to detect and analyze load changes such as impacts from projectiles. An analyzer coupled to the sensors can determine where on the structure the projectile impacted. Coupled with information on the origin point of the projectile, i.e. where it was fired from, the analyzer can then estimate the trajectory of the projectile. The analyzer can also determine whether the projectile passed through the structure and, if so, can extrapolate the estimated trajectory to determine an estimation of whether the projectile has also impacted an object behind the structure.

  • Publication number: 20190008663
    Abstract: A prosthesis socket vacuum device includes a base formed with a first chamber formed with a discharge channel and a vacuum relief channel and a second chamber provided, on an underside thereof, with a locking assembly, which includes a position-constraining block. A positioning assembly having sealing gaskets fit thereto includes a locking pin extending through a positioning member and formed with a recess. In setting the positioning assembly into the base, the positioning member compresses and expels internal air of the first chamber to the outside through the discharge channel in a soundless manner to form a vacuum condition. The locking pin drives the locking assembly to displace until the recess and a closure hole are fixed relative to each other so as to have the locking assembly closes the vacuum relief channel. A gap is provided between the closure hole and the recess to provide an effect of cushioning.

  • Patent number: 10028844
    Abstract: The hydraulic ankle joint includes a main member having a fluid supply chamber storing a hydraulic fluid, a first pressure regulating chamber, a second pressure regulating chamber, and a space connecting the chambers. The space houses an axle element rotatably joined to the main member. The main member is rotatably mounted on a U-shaped hinge seat. An extension piece is extended radially from the circumference of the axle element. A fluid block penetrates through the main member and into the space. The extension piece and the fluid block jointly partition the space into a front chamber and a back chamber. The first and second pressure regulating chambers adjust the back and front chambers' pressure so that impact from walking may be effectively buffered. The fluid supply chamber automatically refills hydraulic fluid into the front and back chambers so as to reduce user maintenance overhead.
