Provided are a connecting module and a motion assistance apparatus including the same, the connecting module including a case provided to incline downward from a space recessed between a waist and a hip of a user to a hip joint of the user, a power transmitting assembly disposed in an internal portion of the case, and a supporting module connecting portion disposed at an output terminal of the power transmitting assembly and to be fastened with a supporting module that supports a leg of the user.

An integrally driven linkage for a conveyor system is provided. The integrally driven linkage includes inner and outer links, an axle upon which bearings are placed to support a two stage pulley arrangement and a multitude of additional axles which carry bearings and two position sheaves which carry daisy chained belt loops from one axle to the next. Cables and hoses may be externally attached at each outside link thereby providing a functional cable carrying device. The outside links may be stepped to prevent radial motion in one or more direction and/or to limit radial motion. The integrally driven linkage may be used for virtually any industrial or commercial application where mechanical and control energy is needed for non-stationary equipment, and is not limited to conveyor systems but may be applied to virtually any electro-mechanical device, including but not limited to pneumatic and hydraulic devices.

The present invention relates to a buoyancy-driven power generation apparatus using a gravity body. To achieve this, according to the present invention, a rotary module is configured with at least one rotary body mounted on a rotary shaft, a latch provided between the rotary body and the rotary shaft such that the rotary body transmits power only in one direction, and a power transmission gear mounted on one end portion of the rotary shaft. A rope is mounted on the rotary body of the rotary module to make contact with the same to move up and down. A buoyant body hangs from one end portion of the rope, and a gravity body lighter in weight than the buoyant body hangs from the other end portion of the rope. A power gear is provided on one end portion of the rotary module so as to be engaged with the power transmission gear such that the rotating force of the power gear is transmitted to a generator. Accordingly, it is possible to effectively convert a movement of the surface of the sea into a vertical up and down motion of the buoyant body.

An axle assembly having a ballast insert assembly and a method of control. The ballast insert assembly may have an inflatable bladder that may be disposed in a cavity. The volume of lubricant in the cavity may be greater when the inflatable bladder is deflated than when the inflatable bladder is inflated.
