Abstract: This elbow orthosis comprises a first fitting, a second fitting and a mechanical stop arrangement (40) configured for limiting the angular movement of the second fitting with respect to the first fitting around a first rotation axis (A1). The mechanical stop arrangement (40) includes first and second plates (402, 404), each provided with a circular slot (4024, 4044) and a series of through holes (4028, 4048) spread on a circle centered on a central axis (A402, A404) of the circular, and a crank (408) equipped with a pin (409) engaged in the circular slots (4024, 4044). The first and second plates (402, 404) are aligned on a common central axis and their relative orientation around this common axis is set by aligning at least one through hole (4028) of the first plate with one through hole (4048) of the second plate. Some portions of the circular slots (4024, 4044) overlap, depending on the orientation of the first and second plates around the common axis.

Abstract: Transportable storage devices are communicatively coupled behind one or more dedicated “edge” data servers to take advantage of the benefits of the data servers and transportable storage devices while limiting their disadvantages. Each edge data server ingests data from one or more client devices and copies the data to one or more of the transportable storage devices for eventual transport to a cloud data center for upload to a cloud storage system. Multiple versions of a segment of data (e.g., of a file or a blob) are maintained at various points in the disclosed system and the disclosed technology ensures that the most recent version is the version ultimately stored on the cloud storage system.

Abstract: The disclosed technology includes a storage system with a docking station configured to serve as an interface between a host computer and a portable data pack including multiple storage drives. The docking station includes a drive-side connection interface that provides a physical and electrical coupling to each of the multiple storage drives in the portable data pack, a RAID controller, and mode selection logic for directing communications in route between the host computer and a select drive of the multiple storage drives along one of two selectable paths within the docking station, the first path permitting the host computer to interact with the select drive through the RAID controller and the second path permitting the host computer to interact with the select drive along a data channel that bypasses the RAID controller.

Abstract: This invention is a system for coordinating unscheduled breaks for employees within a facility. In many professions, personnel are required to be in a certain area or at a certain location, but will often have the need to take an unscheduled break. The employee or personnel will then only be able to take the unscheduled break if she or he can find a substitute to take her or his place during the break. The system described and claimed herein allows for real-time coordination of unscheduled breaks in a work setting.

Abstract: This device for treating items stored in at least one container (12), comprises means (14) for supplying the containers with a treatment gas and means (16) for continuously purging the containers, the supply means being equipped with means (22) for regulating the pressure of the treatment gas upstream of the containers. The purging means comprise a gas ejector (28) connected to the outlet of the containers (12) and supplied with a drive gas so as to regulate the pressure of the treatment gas downstream of the containers (12) and thus control the flow rate of the treatment gas therein.
