Abstract: A control system (10) for control of a prosthetic device (12) having a plurality of actuators (13) receives an orientation signal indicative of a desired movement. The control system evaluates whether the prosthetic device may move as desired with a current angle of rotation and commands at least one actuator to move the prosthetic device as desired by maintaining the current angle of rotation or by adjusting the angle of rotation if the prosthetic device cannot move as desired with the current angle. The control system may alternate between commanding a first subset of actuators and a second subset of actuators each time the orientation signal is indicative of a neutral position. The control system may include a position sensor and a compliance sensor and may command at least one actuator based on a combination of positional control using the position sensor and force control using the compliance sensor.

Title: Asymmetry brake with torque limit
Inventor: LANG DAVID J
IPC: F16D65/14
Filed: 2013-11-18
Abstract: An electric fail-safe is operable to move a first ramp between distinct positions. The first ramp is associated with the second ramp. There are balls intermediate the first and second ramps. When the electric fail-safe brake is in an actuated condition, the second ramp forces stationary brake disks to engage rotating brake disks which rotate with a shaft to cause braking of the shaft. There is a keeper associated with the second ramp which abuts a stop surface to limit the amount of torque applied to the rotary and stationary disks after a predetermined amount of braking force has occurred. A brake with a test switch is also disclosed.

Abstract: A closure element serves for closing off bores which are subjected to internal pressure, preferably bores in engine or valve blocks or tanks. Said closure element has a sleeve-shaped main body which can be inserted into the bore and the outer circumference of which, in the installed state, bears sealingly against the inner surface (2) of the bore (3). Provided are the main body and an expanding body (4) which is connected to said main body by a bent-over transition region (8). The closure element is firstly inserted into the bore (3) and subsequently pressed into the latter by the application of pressure to the expanding body (4). As the closure element is pressed into the bore (3), the expanding body (4) is pushed into the main body (1) by deformation, so as to push the main body (1) in the radial direction against the inner surface (2) of the bore (3). In this way, said closure element can withstand even relatively high internal pressures and can be produced in a simple manner.

Title: Permanent magnet drive apparatus and operational method
Inventor: MILLER HAROLD L JR
IPC: H01F7/02
Filed: 2013-03-15
Abstract: A magnetic drive apparatus includes first and second magnet carriers carrying first and second permanent magnet arrangements. An intermediate magnet carrier disposed between the first and second magnet carriers carries a third permanent magnet arrangement. The magnet carriers are arranged for rotation relative to each other such that the magnet arrangements produce magnetic interactions that result in power stroke forces causing the magnet carriers to undergo relative reciprocation in first and second stroke directions during power zone portions of the relative rotation. The magnetic interactions impart substantially no power stroke forces during dead zone portions of the relative rotation. The dead zones include magnet carrier relative rotation positions wherein opposing magnetic poles are mutually coaxially aligned but produce a substantially equal balance of push and pull magnetic forces. The apparatus may be synchronized so that the dead zones coincide with top dead center and bottom dead center relative reciprocation positions.
