Human exoskeleton devices for heavy tool support and use
An exoskeleton includes strapping for coupling the exoskeleton to a wearer. The exoskeleton also includes a hip structure, a thigh link rotatably connected to the hip structure and a shank link rotatably connected to the thigh link. The weight of the exoskeleton is transferred to a surface on which the exoskeleton is standing through the hip structure, the thigh link and the shank link. An arm brace supports an arm of the wearer, and a telescopic link is rotatably connected to the arm brace. An energy storage device delivers power to a tool through a conduit, and a conduit-energy storage device coupling connects the conduit to the energy storage device.
Camera rig
Implementations of a camera rig configured for use in the production of virtual reality (VR) content are provided. In some implementations, the camera rig may be configured so that multiple cameras can be mounted thereon, each mounted camera faces away from the camera rig and provides a different field of view. In some implementations, the camera rig may be configured so that cameras mounted thereon are able to capture a scene (e.g., a surgical site) from the perspective of a subject (e.g., a surgeon), without obstructing the subject's view of the scene. In some implementations, the camera rig may comprise a first planar member and a second planar member connected together by a first angled bracket and a second angled bracket, each angled bracket includes a connector that is configured for use in orienting and/or positioning the camera rig over the scene (e.g., a surgical site) to-be recorded.
Vehicle image capture systems and methods
A system includes a vehicle image capture system having a support structure, a telescoping hollow support beam, a second hollow support beam, a securing device, a support beam mount, a memory device storing instructions, and one or more processors configured to execute instructions to perform the steps of a method to position the vehicle image capture device and capture an image of a vehicle interior. The telescoping hollow support beam may include an outer telescoping component and an inner telescoping component attached by the securing device, and the second hollow support beam may be attached to the telescoping hollow support beam by the support beam mount. The system may further include a battery component, one or more positional sensors, and one or more electromechanical motors to adjust the position of one or more components of the system to capture a centered image of a vehicle interior.
FOLDABLE HOLDER AND ELECTRONIC DEVICE
The application provides a foldable holder and an electronic device. A bottom plate of the foldable holder is rotationally connected to a first support plate through a first rotating portion, and a second support plate is rotationally connected to the first support plate through a second rotating portion. A clamping portion is mounted on the first support plate and slidable relative to the first support plate. When the foldable holder is in a closed state, the clamping portion clamps the second rotating portion to lock the first support plate and the second support plate, when the first support plate is at an angle to the bottom plate, the clamping portion is unlocked from the second rotating portion and clamped with the first rotating portion, the unlocking of the second rotating portion enables the second support plate to rotate relative to the first support plate.
APPARATUS AND METHODS FOR SUPPORTING AN ARTICLE
A mount for supportably engaging an article. The mount includes a bulbous member that may include a convexly shaped surface area. The convexly shaped surface area may be supportively contactable with a first interconnect portion of a carrier member. An attachment member that is operatively associable with a device may be removably engageable with a second interconnect portion of the carrier member. The carrier member may be moved throughout a continuum of positions defined by the convexly curved surface area of the bulbous member. Additionally, the bulbous member may be supportably engaged by a variety of embodiments of support structures for supporting or mounting the mount.
Sight scope and mounting assembly
A target sight scope mounting assembly is presented. Additionally, a target sight scope and a plurality of support members are configured to provide a support for the target sight scope. The scope is coupled to one of the support members and pivotally engages the support member. A dampening material may be integrated within at least the first support member thereby dampening the vibrations attendant to a shooting environment.
METHOD AND SYSTEM FOR STABILIZING A PAYLOAD
The present disclosure provides systems, methods, and devices related to the control and operation of a carrier for supporting a payload. In one aspect, a carrier may comprise: a stator configured to be coupled to a base support, the stator comprising a spherical surface; and a frame operably coupled to the stator via a plurality of piezoelectric actuators, wherein the frame is configured to rotate relative to the stator about one or more rotational axes, and wherein the frame is configured to support a plurality of payloads in a manner that substantially balances a weight of the plurality of payloads relative to the stator.
Rotatable connection with rotational angle limitation
A rotatable connection for a stand apparatus to be arranged in an operating room and including an adaptable stop mechanism which can be arranged between a first connection component and a second connection component mounted rotatably around a rotational axis relative to the first connection component and is configured to define at least two different relative rotational angles of the connection components or at least two different rotational ranges is provided. A carrier system or a stand apparatus having such a rotatable connection is also provided.
Rotatable connection with a rotational angle limitation
A rotatable connection for a stand apparatus for arrangement in an operating room, including an adjustable stop mechanism, which can be arranged between a first connection component and a second connection component mounted rotatably about a rotational axis relative to the first connection component and which is configured to define different rotational angles or rotation ranges of the connection components relative to each other. The adjustable stop mechanism includes: a stop ring which can be mounted to the first connection component in an anti-rotational manner, an anti-rotation device, a stop device with a counter stop, and a rotary block. The stop device can be positioned at the anti-rotation device in different rotational angle positions in an anti-rotational manner. A support system or a stand apparatus with such a rotatable connection and a method for adjusting the adjustable stop mechanism are provided.
Arm mechanism
An arm mechanism includes a first arm, which is hollow, a second arm, and a connection portion for mutually rotatably connecting the first arm and the second arm. A connection portion 15 includes a rotary shaft extending in a direction perpendicular to an axial direction of a first arm 11 and a second arm 12, a friction portion for generating a frictional force against rotation of the rotary shaft, and a biasing member which is housed in the first arm, has an end portion facing away from the rotary shaft and connected to the first arm, has an end portion facing the rotary shaft and connected to the second arm via a connection member, and generates a contraction force which is increased with an increase in angle between an axis of the second arm and an axis of the first arm by rotation of the rotary shaft.
