Filed:

Feb 16, 2010

Appl. No.:

12/706471

Inventors:

Dirk Albertus van der Merwe - Dunbarton NH, US
Thomas A. Doyon - Manchester NH, US

Assignee:

DEKA Products Limited Partnership - Manchester NH

International Classification:

A61B 5/103

US Classification:

33512

Abstract:

A system for control of a device includes at least one sensor module detecting orientation of a user's body part. The at least one sensor module is in communication with a device module configured to command an associated device. The at least one sensor module detects orientation of the body part. The at least one sensor module sends output signals related to orientation of the user's body part to the device module and the device module controls the associated device based on the signals from the at least one sensor module.

Appl. No.:

10/157664

Inventors:

William Leavitt - Haverhill MA, US
Christopher Berry - Exeter NH, US
Thomas Doyon - Manchester NH, US
David Sabo - Hollis NH, US

Assignee:

IBIS TECHNOLOGY CORPORATON - Danvers MA

International Classification:

F27D011/00

US Classification:

219/390000, 219/405000, 219/411000, 392/418000

Abstract:

The present invention provides a heating assembly that includes a thermally conductive, lamp-mounting block manufactured from aluminum or a similar material, which can be machined as a single-piece (e.g., unibody) block. The unibody block includes one or more networks of inner passageways bored or otherwise machined within the block for transporting one or more cooling fluids. The mounting block can also have a reflective coating on one or more of its surfaces that face the lamps to efficiently reflect heat and/or light generated by the lamps onto a desired surface, for example, a semiconductor wafer. Thermal isolation devices, e.g., pads, provide for both physical mounting of the heating lamps to the mounting block and also provide thermal isolation between the heating lamp and its electrical connections are also disclosed to protecting heat-sensitive elements of the heating assembly such as seals.

International Classification:

A61F 2/48
A61F 2/54

US Classification:

623 24, 623 57

Abstract:

A prosthetic arm apparatus including a plurality of segments that provide a user of the prosthetic arm apparatus with substantially the same movement capability and function as a human arm. The segments are connectable to one another and connectable to a prosthetic support apparatus that may be adorned by the user. Some segments may provide movement about more than one axis using a single actuator. The prosthetic arm apparatus may include a user interface incorporated therein and may include one or more communication systems for communicating with external devices.
