Abstract: A fluidic actuator includes a basic arrangement having at least one cavity formed therein, an activatable substance within the cavity, and a deformable seal arrangement. The activatable substance, exemplarily an electrolyte, may be converted, at least partly, by suitable activation and thus cause a change in pressure in the cavity. The deformable seal arrangement serves for sealing the cavity. The seal arrangement includes an element containing paraffin and may be deformed when activating the activatable substance due to the change in pressure of the activatable substance. A corresponding method of manufacturing includes the following steps: providing the basic arrangement; forming a cavity, which is open on at least one side, in the basic arrangement; introducing the activatable substance into the cavity; and sealing the cavity using the deformable seal arrangement which includes an element containing paraffin.

Abstract: This is a Powered Drive and Control Mechanism for improving the operation of hand held manually operated gripping/reaching devices. Manually operated Reaching/grabber devices are spring loaded to open so they require the user to have good strength and dexterity to close them and keep them closed around an object being reached. Many users have physical limitations making these tools difficult or impossible for then to operate. With this lightweight battery powered Drive and Control Mechanism incorporated into a gripping/reaching tool an operator only needs to touch a button for opening or closing the tool and it has an inherent ability to hold items in its grip without the operator having to hold it closed. This design allows it to be used by persons that would not have the ability to operate a gripper/reaching tool otherwise.
