Abstract: A device for rehabilitation of the upper limb includes a frame and an exoskeleton mounted on the frame. The exoskeleton has a first joint coupled to the frame, a first L-shaped connector connecting the first joint to a second joint, a second L-shaped connector connecting the second joint to a third joint, and an attaching member attaching an upper limb of a human subject to the exoskeleton. The first joint is situated above a shoulder of the human subject and has a first axis of rotation substantially coinciding with the horizontal abduction/adduction rotation axis of the shoulder. The second joint is situated behind the shoulder and has a second axis of rotation coinciding with the abduction/adduction rotation axis of the shoulder. The third joint is situated at the side of the shoulder and has a third axis of rotation substantially coinciding with the flexion/extension rotation axis of the shoulder.

Abstract: A system, method and device for monitoring a vehicle is provided wherein a vehicle monitoring device regulates its power consumption of a host power source based upon determined states of operation of the vehicle. The power consumption management scheme of the monitoring device utilizes the following modes of operation to regulate power consumption: a work mode, a transport mode, and sleep mode, and a deep sleep mode. The mode of operation of the monitoring device depends on the determined state of vehicle operation. The monitoring device utilizes the various states of operation to power down certain portions of the monitoring device in order to reduce the electric power consumed by the monitoring device. A communication network is adapted to communicate the vehicle data to an end user via an access device. The communication network is also adapted to communicate end-user data via an access device to the monitoring system.

Abstract: A system for monitoring a piece of equipment is provided. The system comprises a monitoring device that is associated with the equipment and configured to detect data relating to the operation of the equipment. A communication network is adapted to communicate the data to a server based on a signal received from the monitoring device, and an access device is connected to the communication network and configured to provide the data to an end-user for determining whether the equipment is operating effectively. The monitoring device is adapted to detect when the equipment is moving.
