Abstract: A method for obtaining an assist torque (Ä a ) to be applied to a human joint, in a human assist system for applying an assist torque (Ä a ) to the human joint to reduce load of muscles, and the human assist system are provided. The method comprises the step of obtaining a moment due to gravity, acting on a joint of each human segment, based on equations of force and moment balance on each segment. The method further comprises the step of obtaining an assist torque (Ä a ) to be applied to the joint to compensate for the moment due to gravity, acting on the joint. The human assist system comprises a motor (202) for delivering an assist torque to a joint and a motor driver (201) for driving control of the motor. The system further comprises a controller (100) for determining a desired value of an assist torque, comprising a processor (101) and a memory (102). The controller (100) is configured to obtain a moment due to gravity, acting on a joint of each human segment, based on equations of force and moment balance on each segment and then to obtain an assist torque (Ä a ) to be delivered to the joint to compensate for the moment due to gravitational acceleration at the joint.  The method provides a natural subdivision between the voluntary actuators which are responsible for forward progression of motion and the assist actuators which are responsible for preserving static equilibrium. This subdivision may mitigate the interference between voluntary control and artificial control.

Abstract: This invention improves the PAMPA (parallel artificial membrane permeability assay) method used in pharmaceutical, biotechnological, and agrochemical R&D. This new high-throughput method and apparatus for measurement of permeability and membrane retention of compounds overcomes shortcomings of prior art and includes sensitivity and speed enhancing reagents. The phospholipid membranes used here consist of 10-74% wt/vol soybean lecithin extract dissolved in dodecane. Concentrations are measured by direct UV spectroscopy. To reduce membrane retention, surfactants, cyclodextrins, or water-soluble lipophilic polymers with low UV absorption are used in the acceptor comparment of the permeation cells and create an artificial sink state. A pH gradient established between donor and acceptor solutions creates a secondary sink state. This "double-sink" makes successful modeling of passive-diffusion transport of molecules possible. By accelerating transport of certain molecules, it shortens measurement time and increases assay throughput. A new permeability equation accounts for the "double-sink" condition as well as membrane retention.

Abstract: A method and apparatus for incorporating an additive material into a fibrous web to be bonded into an elongated porous element by heating the fibers in a confined forming die with a heating medium adapted to bond the fibers to each other at spaced points of contact. An additive material is admixed with the heating medium and then the web of fibers is contacted with the heating medium/additive material mixture whereby the heating medium simultaneously carries the additive material into the fibrous web and heats the fibers to bond them into the porous element. The apparatus includes an adjustable venturi assembly through which the heating medium passes to create a pressure gradient adapted to aspirate a quantity of additive material and entrain a metered quantity of same in the heating medium. The method and apparatus are preferably used to uniformly inject a surfactant into a stream of steam for producing an ink reservoir for a writing or marking instrument from a web of melt blown bicomponent fibers having a sheath of polyethylene terephthalate.

Abstract: An annular plug portion (21) projects from a clamp pallet (2). An annular shuttle member (23) is supported by the plug portion (21) to be movable in the vertical direction. A work pallet (3) is provided with a tapered inner peripheral surface (12) which makes an engagement with a tapered outer peripheral surface (28) of the shuttle member (23). A transmission member (29) is inserted into an upper portion of a cylindrical hole (21a) of the plug portion (21), while a rod (31) is inserted into a lower portion of the cylindrical hole (21a). When the rod (31) is driven downward for clamping, an output portion (36) of the rod (31) moves the work pallet (3) downward through engaging balls (34) to form a transmission gap (G) between a pushing portion (31a) of the upper end of the rod (31) and a pressure receiving portion (29b) of the transmission member (29).

Abstract: The invention relates to a method for the continuous annealing of strip steel (1), whereby the strip steel (1) is heated in a first section (11) of a first heating station (6) with a heating gradient of at least 500 K/s, then heated in a second section (12) of the first heating station (6) with a lower heating gradient to a temperature above the A3 temperature and then cooled in a cooling station (13) with a very high cooling gradient back to ambient temperature. The short-term retention of the strip steel (1) above the A3 temperature allows a complete conversion of the structure with simultaneous solution of the total carbon content, however without complete homogenisation of the carbon to give austenite. For further tempering, the strip steel (1) is heated in a first section (11) of a second heating station (7) with a high heating gradient, than further heated to the annealing temperature in a second section (12) of the second heating station (7) and held for a short period and then recooled to ambient temperature in a cooling station (13) with a very high cooling gradient. The rapid and short-term heating to the annealing temperature prevents the decomposition of the martensite needles which have been formed and thus forms a fine-grain structure in the strip steel (1) with a martensite precipitated with the finest possible needles. A strip steel (1) particularly for the production of edge elements (16) for skis snowboards sliding boards or similar is also disclosed.

Abstract: In an operation system according to the present invention, a radio foot switch is turned on and a pedal is pressed. Further, a medical device as a control target is turned on and a signal indicating the press operation of the pedal is transmitted together with an ID code. The medical device as the control target receives the signal and stores the ID code, thus to enter an identification state of a remote control device. The medical device returns the ID code and thus the radio foot switch stores the ID code so that the radio foot switch identifies, based on the returned ID code, the medical device which transmits the ID code as the control target. Then, upon pressing the pedal, an operating signal is transmitted to the ID code of the medical device as the control target and thus the remote control operation is possible without fail between the radio foot switch and the medical device as the control target which are not specified. <IMAGE>

Abstract: A method of monitoring the wear of a grinding wheel measures the force exerted between the wheel and a workpiece, and generates a warning signal when the measured force exceeds a predetermined threshold value. A signal proportional to the normal grinding force is obtained by measuring the electrical power drawn by the wheelfeed drive motor during grinding. The value of the force proportional signal is compared with corresponding values obtained during the grinding of one or more preceding similar workpieces. Where the grinding wheel includes an annular ridge for grinding an undercut in a workpiece, the ridge portion of the wheel will normally perform more work than the remainder of the wheel, will be liable to the greatest wear, and the force signals will be measured while such portions of the wheel are performing work. The method may be used with electroplated CBN grinding wheels.
