Abstract: L'invention concerne des signaux de commande pour un objet,, mis au point à partir d'impulsions électriques d'origine neuronale, détectées par des réseaux d'électrodes implantées de manière chronique dans le cortex cérébral d'un sujet, aux points pré-moteurs et moteurs connus comme étant associés aux mouvements des bras. Un algorithme coadaptateur est utilisé pour considérer comme entrée, la cadence de décharge des neurones ou des groupements de neurones détectés, qui affectent une électrode particulière. Dans un environnement en circuit fermé, où le sujet animal peut visualiser ses résultats, les facteurs de pondération contenus dans l'algorithme sont modifiés sur une série de tests, afin d'intensifier les impulsions électriques corticales résultant du mouvement de l'objet, comme souhaité. Simultanément, le sujet animal apprend et modifie son activité électrique corticale pour parvenir au mouvement de l'objet, comme souhaité. Dans un mode de réalisation spécifique, l'objet déplacé était un curseur décrit comme étant une sphère dans un écran de réalité virtuelle. Des objets cibles ont été présentés au sujet qui a ensuite commencé à déplacer le curseur en direction de la cible, pour recevoir une récompense. Dans une utilisation non-coadaptatrice de l'algorithme, tel que modifié au préalable par une coadaptation, des cibles n'ayant pas effectué d'apprentissage ont été présentées dans le système de réalité virtuelle et le sujet a déplacé le curseur en direction de ces cibles. Dans un autre mode de réalisation, un bras manipulateur était piloté par un sujet animal.

IPC: A01K45/00
Filed: 2004-07-19
Abstract: Hatchlings are raised initially on a strip of sheet material which is laid on the floor of a containment pen with a layer of a feed material for the hatchlings. After the hatchlings have grown to a stage where they can move from the paper, the strip is removed by a hand cart operable by a user walking with the cart, the hand cart having wheels arranged for hand steering movement of the vehicle by the user to follow the strip while avoiding the hatchlings. A support is provided on the vehicle for winding the strip into a roll as the cart is moved across the floor. The support is rotated either by a motor or by a hand crank controlled by the user so that the cart is propelled solely by the winding of the strip onto the roll providing a pulling action on the cart and by pushing by the user. Alternatively the roll is driven by frictional contact with the ground wheels so that it rolls up the strip at a rate dependent on the forward movement of the cart.

Patent CA-2475640-A1 (CA)
Inventor: NILSEN MARTIN J
IPC: F16B27/00
Filed: 2004-07-21
Abstract: A fastener nut is formed with anti-cross threading features that include a rounded or chamfered edge at the entry end to the nut, followed by an unthreaded cylindrical counterbore that extends axially from the entry end to the threaded section of the bore. The rounded or chamfered entry end prevents cross threading and the unthreaded section is of sufficient length to ensure substantially collinear alignment between the threaded fastener and the correspondingly threaded nut before threaded engagement occurs. An optional radiused portion is formed between the unthreaded and threaded sections of the nut to further prevent cross threading. The nut can be a weld nut formed with weld protrusions which enable the nut to be welded to a large structural member before mating engagement with a threaded fastener occurs. The nut can additionally have convex or concave or other tactile feed back features that induce vibration when a large off-angle is being attempted.

Title: Device for putting on and taking off a support sock
Inventor: DELAMARE MICHEL
IPC: A47G25/90
Filed: 2003-03-21
Abstract: The invention relates to a device that is used to open a support sock (or hose) and to maintain same open so that the foot and leg can be inserted therein without the passage of the heel posing any difficulty. The aforementioned manoeuvre is made possible by means of two members (2, 4) which form an ovoid tube on which the sock is positioned. Said two members are fixed to panels (1, 3) which can be separated from one another using a lever (5) comprising two connecting links (6, 7). The invention also comprises variable-length, lateral, removable handles and, as a result, the device is suitable for personal use or for use by a third party. The lower part (3) of the device can be used alone for the removal of the sock. According to the invention, the user employs the lateral handles (8, 9) such that the above-mentioned member (4), which takes the form of a hollow semicylinder in order to match the shape of the heel, moves the sock towards the foot.
