20100259083DYNAMIC ORTHOPAEDIC CHAIR - An orthopaedic chair that requires a seated person to actively and dynamically support their upper bodies while seated is provided. The chair is designed such that the core musculature of the seated person must be actively engaged while in a seated position. To accomplish this, the chair is provided with an unstable or dynamic seating platform, i.e., a seating platform which is independently movable in several dimensions such that to stabilize the seating platform the musculature of the body, and in particular the core, must be utilized.10-14-2010

20090022994Composite Powder Products for Hardmetals - A composite powder product suitable for hardmetal cutting tools and wear resistance applications is described. The product comprises a hard particulate phase chosen from a range of metallic carbides, nitrides, carbonitrides and the like, onto which hard phase is deposited a coating of cobalt or nickel, or a mixture of cobalt and nickel. The hard particulate phase has a particle size between 0.1 and 10 μm, and preferably between 0.1 and 2 μm.01-22-2009
20090029045Ni-Coated Ti Powders - The present invention relates to coated powder, comprising a Ti-bearing core and a Ni-bearing coating, which can be used for the production of porous Ni—Ti articles by the self-propagating high temperature synthesis (SHS) method. The obtained articles are ideally suited for use in biomedical applications. According to the invention, a coated powder is used comprising a metallic Ti-bearing core and a metallic Ni-bearing coating, characterised by a Ni:Ti atomic ratio of more than 0.5, preferably between 0.9 and 1.1, and more preferably between 0.96 and 1.04. By using coated powders, local fluctuations in composition are limited and well under control. Milling of powders and the ensuing contamination risks are avoided. The sintered objects obtained using coated powders have a more homogeneous porosity than that using mixed Ni and Ti powders.01-29-2009

20110092860SYSTEM FOR CLINICAL ASSESSMENT OF MOVEMENT DISORDERS - According to one embodiment of the present invention, the system for clinical assessment of movement disorders (iTUG) is comprised of a) a protocol to assess gait, balance, and mobility; b) a plurality of wearable sensors including accelerometers, gyroscopes, magnetometers, optical sensors, and goniometers to record kinematics data obtained from a patient during said protocol; c) means for wirelessly transmitting said kinematics data to a storage and data processing server; and d) a plurality of statistical and biomedical signal processing methods to analyze said kinematic data and derive a plurality of metrics (outcomes) to objectively quantify movement disorders. A specially important outcome for the assessment of movement disorders is described, namely, the quantification of the onset and offset parameters during turning. A method for quantification of said onset and offset turning parameters involves 1) collecting data to measure the angle of the trunk during turning, 2) modeling said angle using a mathematical model, and 3) using numerical optimization and estimation methods for fitting the model in the data to determine said onset and offset turning parameters.04-21-2011
20110288805CONTROL DEVICE WITH AN ACCELEROMETER SYSTEM - A control device includes a two-dimensional inertial system configured to measure an acceleration of the control device. A control circuit is coupled to the two-dimensional inertial system where the control circuit is configured to receive acceleration information for the acceleration measured by the two-dimensional inertial system. The control circuit is further configured to integrate the acceleration information to calculate the velocity of the control device and determine if the velocity of the control device becomes zero along one or both of the two dimensions for which the two-dimensional inertial system is configured to measure acceleration. The control circuit is further configured to correct a drift in the velocity if the control circuit determines that the velocity is zero along one or both of the two dimensions.11-24-2011
