  • Publication number: 20180060504
    Abstract: Prediction of the physiological effect of phytotherapeutic products and the recommendation of phytotherapeutic products on the basis of physiological effects are provided. A first product profile includes a plurality of compound identifiers and a plurality of concentrations. Observational data is read regarding a plurality of subjects who have consumed a first product substantially conforming with the first product profile. From the observational data a first set of physiological effects is determined associated with the first product profile. In some embodiments, a second set of physiological effects associated with a second product profile is determined based on the first product profile, the second product profile, and the first set of physiological effects. In other embodiments, a second product profile associated with a second set of physiological effects is determined based on the first product profile, the first set of physiological effects, and the second set of physiological effects.

  • Publication number: 20170119132
    Abstract: An exoskeleton includes strapping for coupling the exoskeleton to a wearer. The exoskeleton also includes a hip structure, a thigh link rotatably connected to the hip structure and a shank link rotatably connected to the thigh link. The weight of the exoskeleton is transferred to a surface on which the exoskeleton is standing through the hip structure, the thigh link and the shank link. An arm brace supports an arm of the wearer, and a telescopic link is rotatably connected to the arm brace. An energy storage device delivers power to a tool through a conduit, and a conduit-energy storage device coupling connects the conduit to the energy storage device.
