摘要:
A knee extension apparatus comprising a base, a pad assembly and at least one strap member. The base includes a first end and a second end. The pad assembly includes a pad member and a mounting assembly. The mounting assembly facilitates attachment of the pad member in at least two different locations along the upper surface of the base, proximate the second end thereof, so as to vary the distance between the first end and the pad member. The at least one strap member is associated with the base and positioned between the first end and the second end of the base member. The at least one strap member is capable of encircling a leg of a patient proximate a knee portion thereof.

A voice acquisition system for a vehicle includes an interior rearview mirror assembly attached at an inner portion of the vehicle. The mirror assembly preferably includes at least one microphone for receiving audio signals within a cabin of the vehicle and generating an output signal indicative of these audio signals, the at least one microphone providing sound capture for at least one of a hands free cell phone system, an audio recording system and an emergency communication system. The system includes a control that receives the output signal from the at least one microphone and distinguishes the presence of vocal signals from non-vocal signals. The system preferably comprises a learning mode whereby a vocal characteristic of a particular driver or occupant of the vehicle is learnt so that the ratio of vocal signals emanating from that particular driver or occupant to non-vocal noise signals received by the system is enhanced.
摘要:
A stethoscope apparatus comprising a body, a sensor assembly and an output indicator device. The body includes a body interfacing surface. The sensor assembly includes a sensor associated with the body interfacing surface. The output indicator device is coupled with the sensor assembly so as to provide at least one of a visual, audio and tactile indicators of the condition of the sensor. A storage device may be included to store data pertaining to the sensor. Similarly, a remote communication assembly may be incorporated to provide remote communication with the sensor assembly.

摘要:
An interior rearview mirror assembly for vehicles incorporates a rearview mirror housing assembly having a polymeric rearview mirror housing and a reflective mirror element, a polymeric rearview mirror support, a polymeric rearview mirror mount, and first and second polymeric ball pivot members received in respective sockets allowing pivotal adjustment of the rearview mirror housing assembly. At least one electrical conductor connects an electrical accessory in the mirror housing assembly to the vehicle electrical system. The rearview mirror support includes a cable-way such that the presence of the electrical conductor as it passes through the ball pivot members and the cable-way is concealed from view while being protected therein even while the ball pivot members are pivoted for adjustment. The various polymeric elements of the assembly are preferably molded in the same color such as black, or alternately in at least two different colors.
摘要:
A pressurizing compression device capable of providing pressure to a body extremity. The pressurizing compression device comprising a flexible wrap material and means for creating a pressure gradient. The flexible wrap material includes an upper end, a lower end and opposing side edges. The opposing side edges are positioned in proximity of each other so as to define a flexible wrap which is capable of surrounding a body extremity of a patient. The pressure gradient creating means creates a pressure gradient at least partially along the flexible wrap which decreases from the lower end to the upper end.

A controller for an electric power assisted steering system includes a steering mechanism and an electric motor that can apply an assistance torque to the steering mechanism. The controller has an input for an input torque signal indicative of the torque applied by a user to the steering mechanism and an output for an assistance torque demand indicative of the assistance torque to be applied to the steering mechanism by the electric motor. The controller includes: a first subcontroller having an input for the input torque signal, an output for a first assistance torque and a process arranged to determine the first assistance torque; a second subcontroller having an input for the input torque signal, an output for a second assistance torque and a processor arranged to determine the second assistance torque; and a blending unit, which provides as an output the assistance torque demand. The blending unit combines the first and second assistance torques in time-varying proportions in order to determine the assistance torque demand.
