Leg prosthesis

ActiveUS6955692B2Improve a leg prosthesisIncrease and decreases resistanceArtificial legsThighPhysical medicine and rehabilitation
A leg prosthesis adapted to a thigh stump includes an adapter (2) for a knee joint (3), a knee joint (3) mounted on this adapter, and a prosthetic lower leg (4) coupled to the knee joint (3). A prosthetic foot (5) is attached to this prosthetic lower leg and can pivot into a toes-raised foot position. The knee joint (3) upon transition from the extended position to the bent position performs a combined rolling-sliding movement about a pivot axis (6). A force-transmitting element (8) moves the prosthetic foot (5) substantially from the toes-down foot position to the toes-raised foot position during bending of the knee joint (3). Each bending position of the knee joint is transformed by a converter into an unambiguous electrical signal, which is supplied to a programmable control device, which generates a signal used to control an electrically adjustable actuator, which increases or decreases the resistance of the knee joint against or for further bending according to the signal.

Polymer divert cassette for ATM currency

A polymer currency cassette for an ATM. The cassette includes a one-piece polymer body attached to a one-piece polymer lid. The lid is arranged with the body to resist entry into the cassette interior. Integral stiffening ribs are provided. The body side walls include integrally formed guide tracks. A one-piece tambour door is securely movable along the guide tracks. The upper edge of each body side wall extends into a gap created between double-walled side walls of the lid when the lid is closed. A tab, which projects outward from an upper edge of a body side wall, extends even further into the closed lid. The tab becomes nested in an aligned slot in the lid when the lid is closed. A nested tab affords further cassette security by providing resistance to lid and body separation.

Electrical connection structure for piezoelectric element and head suspension

An electrical connection structure connects a piezoelectric element to a flexure with a conductive adhesive. An electrode surface is formed on the piezoelectric element, and a terminal surface is formed on the wiring member and is smoother than the electrode surface. A the gold plate layer is formed on the terminal surface and is connected to the electrode surface with the conductive adhesive. At least one recess is formed by laser processing on the conductive terminal surface layer. The electrical connection structure substantially equalizes the surface roughness of the terminal surface with the gold plate layer to that of the electrode surface, improves a bonding strength on the terminal surface nearly to that on the electrode surface, enhances the reliability of electrical connection between the electrode surface and the terminal surface, maintains electrical characteristics of the terminal surface, and prevents contamination around the terminal surface.

Pen needle and safety system

InactiveUS20050277895A1Prevent retractionProtection and reliable operationAmpoule syringesInfusion needlesPen needlesProtective system
A safety shield system having a needle assembly with a safety shield movable from a first position enclosing an end of a needle cannula, to a second position exposing the end of the needle cannula for injection, to a third position lockingly enclosing the end of a needle cannula. The safety shield system permits retraction of the safety shield during use, but extends the shield enclosing the needle cannula in a locked position following use. The safety shield system also has a cap for receiving the needle assembly and lockingly enclosing another end of the needle cannula. Thus, both ends of a double-ended needle cannula are lockingly enclosed following use of the needle assembly of the inventive safety shield system.

Downhole Tubular Expansion Tool and Method

A tool 10 is provided for radially expanding a downhole tubular C, and includes a central tool mandrel 12 which functionally is part of a drill string or work string, a tubular expander 48 at the lower end of the tubular, and a downhole actuator 15 for forcibly moving the expander axially within the downhole tubular. Slips 20 are positioned for securing the tool within the tubular, so that the slips may be set, and the tool subsequently stroked to move the expander 48 and radially expand a length of the tubular. Upward pull on the work string may expand long portions of the downhole tubular.

Operating pedal system of automobile

A long hole is provided on a bracket fixedly provided on a rear face of a dashboard such that the long hole is adjacent to a support hole supporting a pivot of an operating pedal with a partition wall provided between the long hole and the long hole. Also, a control lever is pivotally supported on a front face of the pivot via the operating pedal such that a lower arm of the control lever faces the front face. A stopper member fixedly provided on a vehicle body faces an upper arm of the control lever from behind. Therefore, when the control lever abuts against the stopper member and rotates as the dashboard is deformed rearward, the pivot breaks the partition wall to move rearward within the long hole due to an excessive load received from the control lever. Thus, the support hole of the pivot of the operating pedal can be formed into a circular shape conforming to an outer peripheral face of the pivot, so that no rattling occurs between the support hole and the pivot. Further, when the dashboard is deformed rearward, the pivot is moved rearward to prevent a tread portion of the operating pedal from coming closer to a driver.

Pen needle and safety shield system

A safety shield system for a needle cannula of a pen needle injector or similar device, wherein the safety shield may be retracted from a first position enclosing the needle to a second position exposing the needle for injection. The safety shield system permits retraction of the safety shield during use, but extends the shield enclosing the needle in a locked position following use. The shield system is utilized with a pen needle injector having a double ended needle cannula mounted in a hub received on the open end of the pen needle injector. The assembly is disposed of by removing the assembly and needle cannula hub and storing the assembly in the cup-shaped cap enclosing the exposed end of the needle cannula within the cap. The cap includes internal radial ribs preventing retraction of the shield prior to removing the cap preventing inadvertently piercing the cap during assembly.

Method and system for detecting degradation of EGR flow delivery

A method for determining EGR flow in an internal combustion engine, such flow being from an exhaust manifold of the engine to an intake manifold of the engine through an EGR valve. The method includes using information provided by a mass air flow sensor disposed upstream of an exhaust gas inlet to the intake manifold and information provided by an manifold absolute pressure sensor disposed downstream of such exhaust gas inlet to provide an indication of the flow of exhaust gas into the intake manifold through such inlet. The method compares such estimated exhaust gas flow into the intake manifold with a commanded exhaust gas flow to the EGR valve. With such method, a determination may be made as to whether the EGR valve is operating properly.

Cap device

A fuel cap 10 maintains high sealing even when subjected to external force; is easy to operate; and requires minimal space for accommodation. The cap device comprises a casing body 20 for closing the filler opening FNb in a sealed condition, a cover 40, a handle 45, a clutch mechanism 60 and a torque transmission mechanism 80. By upraising the handle to the handling position and applying rotational torque, rotational torque is transmitted to the casing body 20 via the clutch mechanism 60 and the torque transmission mechanism 80, closing the filler opening FNb. The handle 45 lowers back to the retracted position when released, whereupon the clutch mechanism 60 assumes non-transmission mode wherein the cover 40 and the handle 45 rotate freely if subjected to external force such as in a collision.
