Abstract: Systems and methods for integrating bipedalism augmentation components are provided. A system can receive a request to modify a footwear, comprising a sole formed of an insole and an outsole. The system can select a footplate based on a size of the footwear. The footplate can include a first portion extending along at least a first portion of the sole, a second portion extending along at least a second portion of the sole, wherein the first portion of the footplate has greater rigidity than the second portion, and a mounting component connected to the first portion. The system can provide an indication of the selected the footplate for insertion between the insole and the outsole such that the first portion is located proximate to a heel of the footwear and the mounting component protrudes at least partially from the sole, the mounting component configured to couple to a bracket.

Abstract: An apparatus for a battery-powered active exoskeleton boot includes a shin pad and one or more housings. The one or more housings enclose electronic circuitry and an electric motor. The apparatus includes a battery holder coupled to the shin pad and located below the knee of the user and above the one or more housings enclosing the electronic circuitry. The apparatus includes a battery module removably affixed to the battery holder and comprising a first power connector that electrically couples to a second power connector located in the battery holder while attached to the battery holder to provide electric power to the electronic circuitry and the electric motor. The apparatus includes an output shaft coupled to the electric motor. The electronic circuitry controls delivery of power from the battery module to the electric motor to generate torque about the axis of rotation of the ankle joint of the user.

Abstract: A network node has a graceful restart mode in which the node: sends a graceful restart notification to one or more neighbouring nodes; attempts to re-establish an adjacency with the neighbouring node(s); receives link state data from at least one of the neighbouring node(s), the received data being sent in response to said attempt; derives pre-restart link data from the received data, the derived data identifying formerly active links, including the node, for routing traffic before the restart; routes network traffic in accordance with routing information stored in the router; detects one or more links, of the formerly active links, which are currently inactive; continues with graceful restart after said detection; determines one or more links, of the formerly active links, which are currently active; and exits the graceful restart mode in response to successful re-establishment of adjacencies with a respective neighbouring node for each of the currently active link(s).

Abstract: An apparatus for an active exoskeleton boot is provided. The apparatus can include a foot plate disposed within a boot of a user. The apparatus can include a first adapter extending from a side surface of the foot plate having a slot and an actuator module comprising a chassis and a post, and the post coupled to the chassis. The apparatus can include a second adapter extending from an end surface of the post. The slot of the first adapter can be configured to engage the second adapter when the actuator module is positioned at a first angle relative to the first adapter. The first adapter can be configured to lock with the second adapter when the actuator module rotates from the first angle to a second angle relative to the first adapter.

Abstract: An apparatus for a water resistant active exoskeleton boot includes a shin pad and one or more housings. The one or more housings enclose electronic circuitry and an electric motor that generate torque about an axis of rotation of an ankle joint of the user. A sealant is placed in contact with the one or more housings to close the one or more housings and prevent an ingress of water into the one or more housings. The apparatus includes an output shaft coupled to the electric motor and extending through a bore in a housing of the one or more housings enclosing the electric motor. The apparatus includes a seal to prevent an ingress of the water into the one or more housings. The apparatus includes a rotary encoder enclosed within the one or more housings to measure an angle of the electric motor.
