Abstract: A body wearable brace, e.g. for resisting involuntary motion, adapted for allowing a user wearing the brace on his arm to dynamically move his or her upper arm, forearm, wrist and hand, comprising: an upper arm piece; a hand piece; an elbow flexion-extension joint that is rotatable relative to the upper arm piece around a first axis of rotation; a forearm pronation-supination joint that is rotatable relative to the forearm pronation-supination joint and the elbow flexion-extension joint around a second axis of rotation; an extension element extendable in a longitudinal direction; a wrist flexion-extension joint that is rotatable around a third axis of rotation. A first portion of the wrist flexion-extension joint is directly or indirectly connected to the extension element, and a second portion of the wrist flexion-extension joint is directly or indirectly connected to the hand piece.

Abstract: A system that enables remote participation in a live proceeding includes a first computer configured to transmit and receive audio and video data with a second computer through a network. An audio mixer is configured to combine a first audio signal received from a microphone with a second audio signal received from the first computer to provide a third audio signal. A capture device is coupled to the audio mixer and to the first computer. The capture device is configured to receive the third audio signal from the audio mixer and a video signal from a video camera coupled to the capture device, and to process the third audio signal and the video signal such that audio and video data of the third audio signal and the video signal may be stored in a computer readable storage medium.

Abstract: A system and method for recording a video conference between a home location and at least one remote location. The method includes: receiving a first audio signal from a computer at the home location, the first audio signal including the audio feed of the video conference participant from the at least one remote location; feeding the first audio signal to (a) a sound producing device, and (b) a mixing device; receiving a second audio signal from a microphone at the home location, the second audio signal including an audio feed from the microphone; feeding the second audio signal to (a) an audio input of the computer at the home location and (b) the mixing device; combining, at the mixing device, the first and second audio signals into a third signal, wherein the third signal includes the audio feed from the microphone and the at least one remote location; outputting the third audio signal; and recording the outputted third audio signal on a recording device.
