Abstract: A device for spine rehabilitation comprising a support frame, immovable crossbars, movable crossbars, and a holder and systems of actuators supporting a patient's head, shoulders, hip, knees, and feet , characterised in that it is equipped with linear actuators (8) mounted to the holder (7) supporting the patient's head and shoulders, whereby the holder (7) has a driving mechanism (9) situated horizontally and mounted to an immovable crossbar (6) of the support frame (1) and in its lower part is rotationally mounted, at the rotation point (10) of the holder, to the immovable crossbar (6). A method for spine rehabilitation using the device for lateral deviation of the patient's torso, whereby the patient's body situated horizontally, face up, is lifted on eight sling hangers taking hold of his/her head and his/her back in the points of shoulder girdle and pelvis girdle.

Abstract: A device for assessing technical condition of the surface of strands having an infrared detector located over the examined structure of strand at appropriate distance and in an antireflection shield, whereas uniformity of the temperature gradient over the whole surface of the examined structure of strand is ensured by a temperature generator after which temperature sensors are located. A method is also provided.

Abstract: A sensor for measuring the swing of a cable or load includes a crown which creates a stable magnetic field, and a fixed portion for detecting movement of the crown, and the cable or load to which the crown is attached. The crown is secured to the cable and includes a series of permanent magnets disposed radially between an inner magnetic ring and an outer magnetic ring. The fixed portion includes measuring elements secured to a support, and defines a measuring space within which the crown can move.
