  • Publication number: 20230398004
    Abstract: A method for configuring a myoelectrically controlled prosthetic system with a prosthesis socket and several lead electrodes for recording electric muscle activities, featuring the steps: placement of a surface electrode arrangement comprising several surface electrodes around the circumference of a residual limb, recording of electric muscle activity in muscles of the residual limb as electromyographic signals, said activity being recorded by the surface electrodes, evaluation of the myoelectric signals with regards to the distinctness of the signals, selection of the control procedure that is to be used to control the prosthesis system, based on the evaluation of the distinctness of the signals, and fixing of the lead electrodes to the prosthesis socket.

  • Patent number: 10803163
    Abstract: To ensure a simple and secure verification of a device, in particular of a safety controller, a method of verifying a configuration of a device, in particular of a safety controller, is provided, said method comprising the steps of subdividing the configuration of the device into at least two part configurations that are validated, of allocating the part configurations to at least one part configuration sequence in which a dependence on a verification of the part configurations on one another is predefined, of determining parameters of each part configuration, with the parameters being used for verifying the respective part configurations, of calculating a single checksum that reproduces the verification of the part configurations, with the single checksum of a preceding part configuration being recalculated in the verification of a part configuration following in the part configuration sequence and with the verification of the preceding part configuration being confirmed on an agreement of the single checksu
