    摘要: Motors and associated methods. Representative motors include high-conversion efficiency, unidirectional or bidirectional small-scale hot gas vane motors. An injection chamber receives hot injection gases. A non-circular stator is coupled to the injection chamber, and the non-circular stator is designed for maximum expansion of the hot injection gas. A rotor is coupled to the non-circular stator and accelerates when the hot injection gas expands, resulting in a conversion of hot injection gas to rotary mechanical power.

    摘要: A valve includes a rotating, substantially pressure-balanced spool that selectively aligns openings within the spool with openings within a sleeve to selectively connect ports of a manifold for gas or liquid routing. A valve may also include a stem, a needle coupled to the stem. a seat configured to receive the needle, a reservoir, an outlet coupled to the reservoir, and a servo motor coupled to the stem. The servo motor rotates the stem to raise or lower the needle relative to the seat to variably restrict or allow matter flowing from the reservoir to the outlet.

    摘要: Systems and methods for a running controller for a lower limb device including at least a powered knee joint are provided. The method includes collecting real-time sensor information for the lower limb device and configuring the lower limb device to a first state in a finite state model for an activity mode including the running mode. The method further includes, based on the sensor information, transitioning the lower limb device from a current state to a subsequent state in the finite state model for the detected mode when a pre-defined criteria for transitioning to the subsequent state is met, and repeating the transitioning until the activity mode changes. In the system and method, the finite state model includes at least one stance state and at least one swing state, where the at least one stance state includes at least one absorption state and at least one propulsion state.

    摘要: Systems and methods for controlling jointed mechanical devices are is provided, where the device is controlled based on a topographic state (300) map having one or more motion axes (D1, D2) and defining a plurality of poses and a plurality of transitions in parallel with one of the motion axes, In the map, each motion axis is associated with complementary types of motion in the device and each of the transitions associated with at least two of the poses. A method includes the steps of receiving a control signal and determining a mechanical state of the device within the topographic state map. The method further includes identifying potential transitions associated with the mechanical state based on the topographic state map. The method also includes adjusting the mechanical state based on the control signal if the control signal is associated with a type of motion associated with one of the identified transitions.

    摘要: A surgical probe includes an articulated digit located at a distal end of a positioning shaft having a longitudinal axis. An actuator is located at a proximal end of the positioning shaft that is operatively connected to the articulated digit so as to move it between a continuous range of positions from an extended position to a substantially curved position while maintaining a kinesthetic relationship between a surgeon's finger engaging the actuator and the articulated digit. Preferably, the surgeons finger position and shape directly correspond to the position and shape of the articulated digit. A method is provided for probing, dissecting, and retracting anatomical structures.
