IPC: A61H1/00

Abstract: The apparatus provides active and passive exercise to the hand and wrist of a patient afflicted with the symptoms of reflex sympathetic dystrophy. The apparatus employs a hand or wrist glove to be worn by the patient's affected hand, the back of which is attached through an arm to a central post and the distal portion encasing the fingers, is attached to a vertical handle, which is rotated about the post, serving as the axis of rotation. In the described embodiment of the device, the handle is in CPM mode at all times, meaning the device is always moving the handle and there is no instance when the patient is moving the handle on his/her own or through his/her own force. However, in order for the patient to be able to move his/her hand "freely"  during exercises, the handle constantly tries to stay ahead of and "out of the way" of the patient's hand by monitoring how much effort the patient is using. This effort is measured through the device by taking in as input the amount of torque the patient is putting on the handle. When there is significant torque on the handle in the direction in which the handle is moving, the device will increase the speed of the handle so that the handle moves ahead of the patient's hand.  This allows the patient to not be inhibited by the glove or handle and continue moving at the patient's pace. The load cell is the component that acts as the torque sensor and is attached to the handle. The apparatus addresses specifically the range of motion of the wrist, both for flexion-extension and pronation-supination. The handle and arm are attached via the arm to the vertical shaft of the motor, which is controlled by a computer program to assist or resist the input action of the patient rotating the hand and fingers through an exercise cycle. A  torque sensor is coupled to the motor shaft to measure the degree of patient input from a programmed speed and force rate by sensing the active input of the patient and reducing the motor input to the cycle allowing the patient to "drive" the exercise. Conversely, should the patient relax the input, the torque sensor detects the lack and the program signals the motor to input the necessary energy to maintain the parameters of the cycle, wherein the machine tends toward becoming a passive motion exerciser. By being able to sense the patient input and accommodate the total energy developed during treatment, the motor continues the rotation of the patient's wrist, and effects a decrease in the tendon overload which normally occurs in normal physical therapy. The inclusion of a wrist glove provides an alternative embodiment for flexion and extension of the wrist with the orientation of the handle effectively at right angles to the center shaft, whereby the wrist is flexed and extended.

Title: Method and apparatus for automatically resolving conflicting devices on a network
Inventor: PRENTICE MARK
IPC: H04L12/56
Filed: 2011-10-05
Abstract: A method and apparatus are disclosed for automatically detecting and resolving conflicts between devices on a security network by comparing the IP addresses of all devices on the network. When one or more conflicts are detected, the user is presented with the option of reassigning the conflicting device to a DHCP address, or to a new static IP address. The new static IP address can be configured to lie within a user defined range. In one embodiment, a default changes the address to any free address on the network. The disclosed method and apparatus automates the conflict resolution process without requiring that network devices (e.g., cameras, camera encoders) be individually and sequentially connected to the security network in order to resolve conflicts. The disclosed approach results in reduced human interaction and is much faster than the traditional approach of adding devices one at a time to the network. Other embodiments are also disclosed.
