Abstract: A knee orthosis is provided. In described embodiments, the knee orthosis is designed to follow a natural movement of a wearer's knee along an asymmetric helicoidal axis of rotation. In some embodiments, the knee orthosis has hinges with shells having displacing geometric centers which do not coincide. In some embodiments, the knee orthosis is made of femoral and tibial hinges manufactured as single integral pieces. In some embodiments, the orthosis is configured to realign the wearer's knee in a frontal plane. Corresponding methods for designing and manufacturing a custom knee orthosis are also provided.

Abstract: It is disclosed a method and system for controllably adjusting temperature of a training area of an interactive training simulator performing an interactive computer simulation. The interactive training simulator, such as a flight simulator, is associated with a non-simulated area (NSA) housing electronic components used for performing the simulation. The heat generated in the NSA is transferred to the training area, or cockpit, hence eliminating the need for a heating system. Hence, the controlled recirculation of the hot air into the non-simulated area (NSA) improves efficiency of the interactive training simulator and reduces energy consumption. The system also maintains air quality inside the training area by continuously monitoring non-temperature related parameters such as humidity, or gas, volatile organic compounds (VOC) or particle concentrations.
