Abstract: Orthoses with microprocessor control placed around the joint of a patient are used to perform and to monitor isometric, range-of-motion, proprioception and isotonic exercises of the joint. A variety of improved hardware elements result in an orthosis that is easier to use and interacts more efficiently with the controller to allow the monitoring of a greater range of motions while holding down cost and provide suitable accurate evaluation of the exercises. Efficient ways of programming the exercises, monitoring the exercises and evaluating the exercise provide a comprehensive program for the rehabilitation of an injured or weakened joint.

Abstract: A transfer apparatus includes a shuttle depending from an overhead support with a pair of arms for receiving and shifting a specimen carrier from one conveyor to a second conveyor of a dual-conveyor track. The shuttle is operable to retain a specimen carrier along either the first or second conveyor and to release a specimen carrier along either the first or second conveyor. Sensors are located to detect the presence of a specimen carrier at each of the retention locations, and to confirm the release of a specimen carrier from the shuttle along each of the conveyors. A drive motor for moving the shuttle between the retention and release positions is electrically connected to a command module with a processor, for receiving instructions as to the position of the shuttle. The sensors are also connected to the processor to transmit detection data to the processor. A queue is positioned upstream of the shuttle and is electrically connected to the processor.

Abstract: Applicants have invented a guidance system for guiding a projectile, the projectile having a body portion capable of being spun in a first direction and a nose portion connected to the body portion by a spin control coupling, the nose portion being capable of being spun in a second direction. The nose portion including first and second aerodynamic surfaces fixedly attached to the nose portion and configured and arranged to cause the nose portion to spin in a second direction during projectile flight. The nose portion including third and fourth aerodynamic surfaces fixedly attached to the nose portion, which are configured and arranged such that when the nose portion is spinning the third and fourth aerodynamic surfaces have no net effect on projectile flight, but when the nose portion is despun using the spin control coupling, the third and fourth aerodynamic surfaces induce both a moment and a lateral force to the nose, causing the projectile flight path to change.
