The Breakaway Leg Sling is provided for use with a walker or crutches and suspends a single leg in a below-the-knee cast, shoe, or bandaged foot in a rearward, elevated position and assists the patient with weight avoidance on the suspended leg. The apparatus is prepared for use from a safe sitting position, and the leg is placed into its suspended position during the natural motion of standing. If needed, the apparatus includes a breakaway safety fastener that disengages at an effective, pre-determined force using the muscles of the suspended leg thereby providing the patient with immediate use of the suspended leg to regain balance and prevent a potential fall. If disengaged, the safety fastener is easily restored to operational use. The Breakaway Leg Sling is comprised of a torso harness device, a detachable foot cradle device, a load strap used to engage the torso harness to the foot cradle device, and the breakaway safety fastener incorporated into the length of the load strap. The foot cradle device may be left on the foot for extended periods of time without hampering the patient's comfort thereby leaving the foot cradle anchor in a ready-to-connect position. If desired, the foot cradle device may be removed for bathing or other purposes, and the foot cradle device will retain its custom size thus saving the patient time and effort when replacing the foot cradle device on the foot or cast.

A cable tension controller is connected to the actuators and to the virtual environment system to calculate a position and orientation of the user within the virtual environment as a function of the length of the cables, and to control the actuators so as to constrain movement of the user interface as a function of interactions between the user and the virtual environment, to provide force feedback to the user. A locomotion simulation apparatus and method are provide as well.

System, device and method for providing public, high-density bicycle storage and protection from elements and theft. System includes overhead conveyors from which bicycles are hung in a near side/far side arrangement where handlebars of only every other bicycle are aligned. Bicycles are rolled into a loading station on their back wheels by user and secured, from the front wheel, to a hook that is removably coupled to a load hoist. Access to loading station is controlled by an access control panel. Load hoist lifts the hook to place the bicycle in a hanging position. Robotic arm of a robotic elevator grasps, retracts and lowers (or raises) the bicycle into a multilevel storage area and onto overhead conveyors. Users may be bike-share users or storage users who store the particular bicycle they own.

A frog lure device that has a life-like swimming action. In a preferred embodiment, the device has a diving “collar” disposed around an upper region of the lure body, rather than a lower region, which is common in conventional lure devices. In a specific embodiment, the collar caused the lure body to dive under the surface like a frog. Concurrent with the diving action, the lure device also has a kicking action to resemble a living frog device. In a specific embodiment, the collar also forms a trail of one or more bubbles and a vortex, or slight vacuum behind it. In a specific embodiment, the lure body includes a pair of legs, which have a suitable length to be caught in the vortex and become trapped in the vortex the pair of legs also straighten out to cause a kicking action and also provide stability to the lure body as it accelerates through the water. As the frog device traverses through the water, the legs also slightly contract and extend to resemble a kicking action. In other embodiments, the frog lure device can be crawled across surface vegetation. When given a single pull followed by a rest, the frog lure responds by diving from a surface region of the water (or suspended position) to a depth beneath the surface region at an angle not unlike a real frog. Concurrent with the diving action, the frog lure straightens its legs imitating a kicking action as it moves forward. As the lure comes to rest again, the legs coupled to the lure retract. Just like a real frog!

The invention discloses an automatic shoe cabinet. One or more grid sheets with a plurality of shoe hanging positions are arranged in the cabinet, a communicated chute is arranged along a cabinet wall, and a folding telescopic mechanical arm controlled by a computer can slide along cabinet walls at one side or three sides in the chute to select the shoe hanging positions; a hook and a shoe hanging frame with an adjustable included angle of a shoe stretcher are used in match, and the mechanical arm can clamp the hook of the shoe hanging frame to conveniently send out the shoe hanged in the cabinet or bring in the shoe out of the cabinet to hang in a specified position on the grid sheet in the cabinet. A computer control part adopts bar code positioning management or programming combined image screening management. The automatic shoe cabinet overcomes the defects of inconveniently and unsanitarily conveying the shoe with a conveyor belt. A sole is in a suspending state in the whole conveying and storage process so that the dust on the sole is not easy to leave behind. With convenient match and easy feasibility of the mechanical arm and the shoe hanging frame and convenient and free fetch of the shoes, the invention can effectively solve the problem of changing and fetching the shoes in public places and high quality houses where people need to change shoes in and out.

EZ-Mark Picture Hanging Marker consists of a head that has an adhesive coating on one side and a marking device, like a pin or marker on the other side. On the other side of the marking device is an encasement sleeve that protrudes further than the marker. The adhesive coating of the head is attached to the back of a picture frame or other object that needs hanging. Once the adhesive coating or other attachment mechanism is put in place, the frame may be moved along the wall into the desired location of hanging. The EZ-Hang Picture Hanging Marker user is then able to mark the desired location of where they would like to place their nail by pressing on the picture frame or hanging instrument. Only when significant force is applied to the picture frame, does a marking device protrude from EZ-Hang's encasement sleeve and mark the wall.

A carry-on luggage with a beverage holder designed to conveniently hold a beverage container without spilling as the user travels through an airport terminal. The holder includes a rigid support member suspended from the upper cross-member on the luggage's telescoping handle. The support member is held in a suspended position by two length adjustable arms attached to the handle's cross-member. The support member includes a laterally extending blocking bar that contacts at least one support arm on the handle which prevents the support member from sliding under the cross arm. The two arms extend downward from the cross member and pivotally connect to two posts located on opposite sides of the cup support member to allow the cup support member to maintain horizontal alignment at all times. When the handle on the carrier is extended, the beverage accessory holder is raised and automatically opens to a horizontal position so that a beverage container may be placed in the beverage holder.
