Patent ID: 6846270

Claim:
A process for accommodating, improving, imitating or transmuting random static and dynamic human functions relative to an object, comprising the steps of: selecting a device comprising a proximal member and a distal member which articulate relative to one another at an interface wherein energy is transmitted through the interface with a predetermined and variable efficacy, the interface being configured to permit a static force to have perpendicular and parallel components relative to a primary plane of the interface and to permit a dynamic force to have a parallel component relative to the primary plane, whereupon an inertia at the interface is affected in terms of a positive or negative affinity between the members and a proximity of the members to one another at the interface, such that either the static and dynamic forces attract the members toward one another at the interface urging a contact whereby a tendency for a motion of one member relative to another at the interface is resisted and a tendency for the interface between the members to remain in a statically opposed position is assisted, or the static and dynamic forces repel the members from one another at the interface urging a separation whereby a tendency for a motion of one member relative to another at the interface is assisted and a tendency for the interface between the members to remain in a statically opposed position is resisted, the device having a portion associable with the object; associating the device with the object; selecting an activity to accomplish the purpose of accommodating, improving, imitating or transmuting random static and dynamic human functions relative to the object; and providing a system of forces to the device which interact to bring about the selected activity; whereby the device utilizes the system of forces provided to create a governable degree of inertia along the interface so arranged in predetermined degrees of freedom to accommodate, improve, imitate or transmute a myriad of random human functions including a static posture and a dynamic movement, resulting from a position, a translation, a rotation, or a revolution singularly at the interface or via a combination thereof.
