Abstract: A knee extension training device is provided with knee abutment rolls, heel abutment rolls and feet anchor rolls to facilitate a user from standing on the device in an upright manner with the knees, the heels, and the feet abutting the respective abutment rolls such that knee extension stretching and flexion exercise can be carried out by utilizing the user's own body weight.

Abstract: A stitching system is configured to stitch through decorative skins with a molded seam recess representing a seam and includes a sewing machine, an image acquisition mechanism, a controller, and a rotation mechanism. The sewing machine is rotatable with respect to a support table, and includes a sewing head to receive a sewing needle and a sewing foot to selectively engage the skin. The image acquisition mechanism produces an image of the seam recess with respect to the sewing head/needle(s). The controller determines the difference between the actual recess location and a predetermined desired recess location. Based on this difference, the controller determines a sewing machine rotation angle and orientation to reduce the difference to zero, and then produces a corresponding adjustment signal that drives the rotation mechanism. A robot can move either the sewing machine or the workpiece, and still use the herein-described real time steering control.

Abstract: A system and method for ambulatory monitoring of the urinary tract for diagnosis of urinary stress incontinence.

Abstract: An wireless ambulatory reflux monitoring system capable of monitoring and recording esophageal biological parameters during an ambulatory period. The wireless ambulatory reflux monitoring system is further capable of recording perceived reflux events at the discretion of a patient contemporaneously with the recording of biological data.

Abstract: A screen frame assembly for a door or a window includes a plurality of frame sections defining an opening and a screen cloth covering the opening. The frame sections include a first leg folded onto a second leg with the legs defining a slot therebetween. An edge of the screen cloth is disposed in the slot for each of the frame sections. A plurality of dimples are formed in the frame sections to trap and retain the screen cloth to the frame sections.

Abstract: A sliding rail assembly (20) for a sliding panel (22), movable along a track (24) between open and closed positions, includes a runner (26) and a glide (28) for sliding engagement along the runner (26). The runner (26) is adapted to extend from the track (24). The glide (28) has an interior surface (64) disposed about the runner (26) and an exterior surface (62) adapted to extend from the sliding panel (22). A layer of polymeric material (48) is secured by an adhesive (90) to either one of the interior surface (64) of the glide (28), the runner (26), or both for facilitating sliding movement of the glide (28) along the runner (26).

Abstract: A screen frame assembly (20) for a door or a window includes a frame (22), a screen cloth (24), and a light curable adhesive (LCA) (26). The LCA (26) cures upon exposure to light energy (43). The frame (22) defines an opening (30) and the screen cloth (24) covers the opening (30). The LCA (26) is disposed between the frame (22) and the screen cloth (24) to adhere the screen cloth (24) to the frame (22) once the LCA (26) has been cured.
