  • Patent number: 10799428
    Abstract: A transformable teething toy comprising a first hub and a second hub. Resilient flexible rods connect the first hub to the second hub such that the inner surfaces of the first and second hubs are oriented to face towards each other. The teething toy is further transformable between an open position and a closed position. In the open position, the first and second hubs are spaced apart from each other by the resilient flexible rods to form an expanded structure. In the closed position, the resilient flexible rods are bent such that the expanded structure is collapsed and the inner surfaces of the first and second hubs are releasably engaged with each other.

  • Publication number: 20150290071
    Abstract: The Navigator is multiple degree of freedom neuro rehabilitation system. The Navigator simultaneously exercises both pronation and supination of the wrist (rotation) and flexion and extension of the fingers (grasp and release) for rehabilitation and monitoring of patients with motor control deficits due to a neurological ailment, such as stroke. In addition, the Navigator provides a visual, interactive environment for performing therapeutic exercises. The interactive environment provides motivation to the patient and can provide real-time feedback to the patient about the quality of the movements being performed.

  • Patent number: 4068577
    Abstract: A work supporting table has a carriage which extends beneath the bed of a press and a table top which extends over the bed. The carriage has wheels which rotate about eccentric spindles on the ends of the two axle shafts. Chains are wrapped around these shafts and forces are applied to the chains by an air cylinder mounted on the carriage. When the chains are drawn taut, the axles rotate such that the spindles move downwardly and cause the wheels to descend with respect to the carriage frame and thereby lift the table upwardly. The wheels when so disposed support the table with its table top slightly above the press bed. Conversely when the chains are released, the wheels move upwardly and the table top descends onto the press bed which supports it so that a force applied to a workpiece on the table top is resisted by the press bed.
