Abstract: An electric power steering system includes a system housing, an electric motor, a steering shaft assembly, and an electronic control unit. The electric motor is disposed within a motor housing that is disposed within and is attached to the system housing. The steering shaft assembly has a torsion bar that that extends at least partially through the system housing and motor housing. The electronic control unit a printed circuit board and a torque sensor. The printed circuit board is disposed within and is attached to the system housing. The torque sensor is disposed on the printed circuit board and is arranged to provide a signal indicative of angular displacement of the torsion bar.

Abstract: In one exemplary embodiment of the present invention, an adjustable joint actuator assembly for a medical assist device is provided. The assembly includes a support arm extending along a longitudinal axis, a gearbox rotatably coupled to the support arm about the longitudinal axis and slidable along the longitudinal axis, and a locking mechanism inserted over a portion of the support arm and the gearbox to facilitate preventing movement of the gearbox relative to the support arm along the longitudinal axis. The locking mechanism is configured for removal to enable movement of the gearbox relative to the support arm along the longitudinal axis.
