摘要:
Embodiments of the invention relate to a centralized managing system and method for creating, deploying, administering, and managing a plurality of separate and distinct virtual computer networks on a virtualization platform for offering cloud computing services (SaaS). Embodiments of the invention relate to a computer system for a centralized management of separate and distinct virtual computer networks, which has a security grid which has at least one grid processor and a memory device that stores a managing application. The managing application has a virtualization platform, a grid access layer, a virtual computer network template system, a plurality of resource distribution tools and a plurality of monitoring and metering tools. The grid processor is adapted by the managing application so that it can create, deploy, administer, and manage the plurality of separate and distinct computer networks.

A rehabilitation system that combines robotics and interactive gaming to facilitate performance of task-specific, repetitive, upper extremity/hand motor tasks, to enable individuals undergoing rehabilitation to improve the performance of coordinated movements of the forearm and hand is disclosed. More specifically, the rehabilitation system includes a two degree-of-freedom (DOF) robotic, upper limb rehabilitation system and interactive gaming hardware that is coupled to a computer, to provide a virtual reality-like environment.

The present invention relates to blast cabinets, such as water jet cleaning cabinets, sand-blasting cabinets, and other enclosed workspaces for cleaning or finishing parts. Specifically, blast cabinets are typically fitted with gloves secured to access holes in the cabinet, allowing the user to reach into the cabinet and safely handle parts and blasting equipment. The present invention relates to an elastic glove adapter cuff which attaches to a blasting cabinet in place of the gloves, allowing the user to choose the most suitable glove for the work being done.

摘要:
A mechatronic exercise system, e.g., for rehabilitation, having instrumented handle and pedal systems and, preferably, an interactive virtual environment is disclosed. Alternatively, the instrumented handle and pedal systems are part of a virtual reality augmenting kit that can convert most types of exercise equipment, such as a stationary or exercise bicycle, ergometer, rowing machine or the like, into full virtual reality (VR) smart systems. In another embodiment, the instrumented handle and pedal systems can each be used separately with other types of devices. In a preferred embodiment, components embedded with sensors are implemented, e.g., on a stationary, exercise bicycle to monitor physiological and biomechanical parameters of the user. Signal data from the sensing components is used to immerse the user in a VR simulation so as to provide the user with visual, auditory, and haptic feedback to the user's performance.

A rehabilitation system that combines robotics and interactive gaming to facilitate performance of task-specific, repetitive exercise to enable individuals undergoing rehabilitation to improve the performance of coordinated movements of the ankle, and to practice balance activities, is disclosed. More specifically, the rehabilitation system includes at least one two degree-of-freedom robotic, haptic interface for a mammalian foot and interactive gaming hardware that is coupled to a controller, to provide a virtual reality-like environment.
摘要:
Electro-rheological fluid brake or actuator devices provide controllable resistance with or without inclusion of active torque output in either direction of rotation under manual or computer control. The brake and actuator devices are suitable for use in an orthotic device for a joint, such as the knee or elbow.

A gear bearing drive provides a compact mechanism that operates as an actuator providing torque and as a joint providing support. The drive includes a gear arrangement integrating an external rotor DC motor within a sun gear. Locking surfaces maintain the components of the drive in alignment and provide support for axial loads and moments. The gear bearing drive has a variety of applications, including as a joint in robotic arms and prosthetic limbs.
