摘要:
A controllable brake includes a housing and a rotor supported on a shaft. The rotor is housed within a chamber containing a field controllable material which is acted upon by a magnetic field generator to impede movement of the rotor. The shaft is supported by bearings. The controllable brake housing defines a second housing chamber adapted to enclose means for monitoring and/or controlling the brake and in this way, an integrated, compact controllable brake is provided.

摘要:
A method and apparatus is presented for communicating between a platform and multiple objects, where the objects comprise a set of parameters and an object-specific interface protocol, where at least one of the object-specific interface protocols differs from at least one other object-specific interface protocol. The method includes identifying the objects and creating multiple nonobject-specific data structures, where at least one of the nonobject-specific data structures can engage each parameter of each set of parameters. The method further includes transforming, using the plurality of nonobject-specific data structures created, the object-specific interface protocols into a single nonobject-specific interface protocol for communicating between the platform and the objects.
