Abstract: A system, architecture and method for data handling, computation, and communication for Earth-based and space-based activities through the use of ground and space-based systems. The system architecture may include a Core Space Layer. The system architecture may further include an Earth User Layer, a Relay Layer, a Computing Layer, a Terrestrial Communications Layer, and a Space User Layer. The Computing Layer is a cloud-based architecture that serves to reduce bandwidth burdens on Earth-Space trunk by processing data into manageable streams of information. The Core Space Layer contains LEO satellites, one of which may act as a dedicated computing node. The Core Space Layer may operate in a public and/or private mode with a first constellation of LEO satellites operating in a private mode and a second constellation of LEO satellites operating in a public mode.

Abstract: Disclosed is a system, method and/or computer readable medium for use with one or more rehabilitation devices to optimize patient rehabilitation by engaging multiple stakeholders in the patient rehabilitation process to generate one or more positive feedback loops.

Abstract: A control system for an exoskeleton for a limb of a user wherein the limb has an upper portion connected to the body of a user and a lower limb portion is provided. The control system controls operation of one or more drive motors that rotate one or more joints of the exoskeleton. Input signals from pressure sensors and positional sensors are monitored and, when the input signals fall within expected values, one or more control actions may be implemented.

Abstract: An exoskeleton for a limb of a user wherein the limb has an upper portion that is pivotally mounted to another part of the exoskeleton about a pivot axis and the upper portion is drivingly connected to the exoskeleton by a force applied via a drive force transmission axis that is vertically offset from the pivot axis.

Abstract: An exoskeleton for a leg of a user comprises a leg structure, a foot plate moveably mounted thereto, and a biasing member extending between the leg structure and the foot plate, the foot plate is moveably mounted to the leg structure between a first position in which the rearward portion extends downwardly and the forward portion extends upwardly and a second position in which the rearward portion extends upwardly and the forward portion extends downwardly and the foot plate is biased to the first position.

Abstract: An exoskeleton for a limb of a user wherein the limb has an upper portion connected to the body of a user and a lower limb portion is provided. The exoskeleton comprises a drive force transmission mechanism drivingly connecting a drive motor having an output axle aligned with the upper limb portion to one of the body portion and the lower limb portion. The drive force transmission mechanism comprises a first gear provided on an upper end of the lower limb portion or on the body portion and a first transfer member extending transverse to the motor axis.

Abstract: An exoskeleton for a limb of a user utilizes an air bladder strap, which may be monitored and the pressure therein adjusted from time to time.
