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: 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: The present invention provides an upper limb exercise apparatus comprising: a base (B); a frame (10) having one side thereof fixed to the base and having a variable tilting angle; a display (20) mounted on the frame and displaying a target pointer; 5-bar linkage-type movable parts (30, 40) positioned on the upper or lower side of the display and including a first link (30) and a second link (40) which are drivable, wherein the first link (30) comprises a 1-1 member (31) of which one end is attached to the frame and is rotationally driven, and a 1-2 member (33) of which one end is rotatably attached to the other end of the 1-1 member, and the other end has attached thereto a handle (50) gripped by a user, and the second link (40) comprises a 2-1 member (41) of which one end is attached to the frame and is rotationally driven, and a 2-2 member (43) of which one end is rotatably attached to the other end of the 2-1 member, and the other end has attached thereto the handle (50) gripped by a patient and the other

Abstract: The present invention relates to a feeding assistant robot, which assists in feeding patients or the elderly and infirm who have difficulty in moving their arms and thus have difficulty in feeding themselves. The feeding assistant robot includes: a picking arm including a gripper for picking up food placed on a tray; a feeding arm, including a spoon on which the food picked up by the picking arm is placed, for moving the spoon to the mouth of a user; an input device enabling the user to direct the movements of the picking arm and of the feeding arm; and a control unit electrically connected to the picking arm, the feeding arm, and the manipulation part to control the movements of the picking arm and the feeding arm according to the commands from the input device.

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.
