  • ANATOMICAL PROSTHESIS WITH A MECHANISM FOR INDEPENDENT FINGER ACTUATION
    Publication number: 20250041079
    Abstract: A Hannes-type hand prosthesis (1) has fingers (3, 3a, 3b, 3c) provided with phalanges (31, 32) controlled in flexion and extension by a system of sliding cables (5, 5a, 5b) and pulleys (64, 65). A stopping device (100, 101, 103, 104, 105) acts upon a slider (62) supporting the pulleys (64, 65) for selectively stopping the movements of the fingers (3, 3a, 3b, 3c), so that, when the user commands the actuation of some of them, the other fingers will remain locked in the flexed or extended position, and vice versa.

  • Apparatus and method for pallet volume dimensioning through 3D vision capable unmanned aerial vehicles (UAV)
    Patent number: 11430148
    Abstract: A system and method for measuring volume dimensions of objects may include flying a UAV to measuring points around an object within a defined area. Images of the object may be captured by the UAV at each of the measuring points. The captured images may be communicated by the UAV to a computing device remotely positioned from the UAV. Volume dimensions of the object may be computed based on the captured images. The volume dimensions of the object may be presented. In presenting the volume dimensions, the volume dimensions may be presented to a user via an electronic display.
