| 20110282827 | CUSTOMIZABLE SPECIMEN EVALUATION - Embodiments of the invention provide a method and apparatus to evaluate at least one specimen for a predetermined purpose. The method comprises establishing at least one category that includes a plurality of criteria with which to evaluate the at least one specimen and receiving at least one scoring parameter that weights the at least one category. The method further comprises presenting at least some of the plurality of criteria to the user and calculating, based upon the scoring parameter as well as data entered by the user and associated with the presented criteria, a score for the at least one specimen. | 11-17-2011 |
| 20100105707 | METHOD OF TREATING OR PREVENTING OXIDATIVE STRESS-RELATED DISEASE - Disclosed is a method of treating or preventing an oxidative stress-related disease in a mammal in need thereof comprising administering an effective amount of a compound of formula (I) to the mammal, wherein R | 04-29-2010 |
| 20100081969 | TENDON TENSION SENSOR - A tendon tension sensor that has particular application for measuring tension on a tendon employed in a robotic arm. The tension sensor includes an elastic element having a curved channel through which the tendon is threaded. The elastic element also includes a center portion on which strain gauges are mounted that measure the strain on the elastic element. Tension on the tendon causes the center portion of the elastic element to flex or bend, which is measured by the strain gauges providing an indication of the tension in the tendon. | 04-01-2010 |
| 20100077867 | PHALANGE TACTILE LOAD CELL - A tactile load cell that has particular application for measuring the load on a phalange in a dexterous robot system. The load cell includes a flexible strain element having first and second end portions that can be used to mount the load cell to the phalange and a center portion that can be used to mount a suitable contact surface to the load cell. The strain element also includes a first S-shaped member including at least three sections connected to the first end portion and the center portion and a second S-shaped member including at least three sections coupled to the second end portion and the center portion. The load cell also includes eight strain gauge pairs where each strain gauge pair is mounted to opposing surfaces of one of the sections of the S-shaped members where the strain gauge pairs provide strain measurements in six-degrees of freedom. | 04-01-2010 |
