Abstract: The device includes a shaft having a plurality of interengaging shaft members. A tension member extends through the shaft and is positional between two positions. When the tension member is in the first position thereof, the shaft members are capable of movement relative to one another allowing the shaft to be manipulable between a continuous range of positions. When the tension member is biased to the second position thereof, the shaft members are non-movably held together forming a rigid shaft of desired shape. An articulation member extends through the shaft and is connected to a live attachment which is retained on a distal end of the shaft. By manipulation of the articulation member at a proximal end of the shaft the live attachment is manipulated.

Abstract: A flying disc retrieval tool includes an extendable handle and a bow including an elongate bar connected to the extendable handle, and first and second struts downwardly extending from first and second ends of the elongate bar. The tool further includes a bow string secured between the first and second struts, wherein the first and second struts position the bow string a vertical distance from the elongate bar. The tool also includes one or more posts, where each post is coupled to both the elongate bar and the bow string. Each post is coupled to the elongate bar at positions providing substantially uniform lateral distances between the first strut and one of the posts closest to the first strut, between the second strut and one of the posts closest to the second strut, and between any adjacent pair of the posts to form a plurality of side-by-side disc capture bays.

Abstract: A system and method of providing feedback during manual joint positioning includes a computer-assisted device having an articulated structure including a joint and a control unit coupled to the articulated structure. To provide feedback to a user during manual positioning of the joint by the user, the control unit is configured to provide first haptic feedback indicating that the joint is moving in a correct direction when the joint is moving toward a first target position, provide second haptic feedback indicating that the joint is not moving in the correct direction when the joint is moving away from the first target position, and provide third haptic feedback indicating that motion of the joint should stop when the joint is at the first target position.

Abstract: Methods and apparatus for aiding in the collection of personal samples. An example personal sample holder apparatus may comprise first and second elongated arms pivotally coupled to one another by a pivot joint to permit relative pivotal movement between the first and second arms about a pivot axis. The personal sample holder apparatus may further comprise a sample collection vessel holder located at a sample-collection location of the second arm, the sample-collection location spaced apart from the pivot joint. The pivot joint may be lockable at a plurality of discrete locking configurations to prevent relative pivotal movement between the first and second arms under application of forces associated with personal sample collection. Each of the plurality of discrete locking configurations may be at a corresponding relative angular orientation between the first and second arms.

Abstract: Apparatus and related methods for assisting tool use includes one or more motors, a wrist support and a shaft coupled to the one or more motors. The shaft includes a coupling to couple to a tool to enable a user resting a hand with the wrist on the wrist support to hold and manipulate the tool with one or more fingers. The apparatus can include a controller configured to: receive position data indicative of a position of an active end of the tool; receive constraint data indicative of one or more regions of space in which the active end should not be positioned; and process the position and constraint data to control the one or more motors to bias the active end out of a region indicated by the constraint data when a position indicated by the position data is within the region indicated by the constraint data.
