Abstract: Disclosed is a wearable robot for assisting a wrist, including: a plurality of flexible actuators; and a control unit configured to control any one of the plurality of flexible actuators to be contracted or relaxed according to a wrist movement of a wearer. Each of the plurality of flexible actuators includes: a driving part which is contractively deformed by a current or transfer heat applied from the control unit or is relaxed when the heat is lost, and a refrigerant circulating part which is implemented to surround the driving part and circulates a refrigerant so that the contractively deformed driving part is cooled under control of the control unit.

Abstract: Provided is an upper limb exercise apparatus including: a table (T); a first link (L1) and a second link (L2) which are disposed above the table and are used for a left arm exercise and a right arm exercise, respectively; and handles (100) provided at ends of the first link and the second link so as to be gripped by the left hand and the right hand, respectively, and comprising: cameras (160) provided inside the handles (100) so as to capture images of fingers holding the handles; and a control determination unit configured to detect and determine an action of a user gripping the handles on the basis of the images captured by the cameras. It maximizes the opportunity to use the upper limbs by means of coordinated movement of the pair of arms, and improves the upper limb function of stroke patients with disabilities caused by a stroke.

Abstract: An upper limb exercise apparatus comprises a base, a frame, and a display mounted on the frame. The apparatus further comprises 5-bar linkage-type movable parts positioned on the display and including a first link and a second link. The first link comprises a 1-1 member having one end attached to the frame and being rotationally driven, and a 1-2 member having one end rotatably attached to the other end of the 1-1 member, the other end having attached thereto a handle for gripping. The second link comprises a 2-1 member having one end attached to the frame and being rotationally driven, and a 2-2 member having one end rotatably attached to the other end of the 2-1 member, the other end having attached thereto the handle and the other end of the 1-2 member. Series elastic actuators attached to the 1-1 member and the 2-1 member provide torque.

Abstract: Hairline-cracked brown rice and a processing method thereof are provided, in which the brown rice is processed at room temperature with a simple method, and the brown rice has good mouth-feel like the polished rice and is easy to be cooked while maintaining its nutrients.

Abstract: This present invention relates to a soda bottle cap having a shell with a spout and a flexible top, and a seal that has an opening through which liquid can flow out when the flexible top is pressed down. With the structure of this soda bottle cap it is possible to release the carbonated liquid from the soda bottle using the high pressure of CO.sub.2 gas inside. When the flexible top is pressed down, the seal changes shape and does not block inner hole (6) so that the liquid in the bottle can be pushed out through the tube(12), and then through the center hole(9) of the seal, and then through channels (10) of the seal, and then through the inner hole (6) of the shell, and then through the spout (4) by the inner hole (6) of the shell, and then through the spout (40 by the high pressure of CO gas in the bottle. When the force on the flexible top (7) is released after use, the flexible top and the seal go back to its original shape.
