A system and method for transmission of a signal for a powered assistive device has a sensor node with a wireless transmitter adapted for digitally transmitting a transmitted signal, the sensor node adapted for receiving and monitoring a sensor signal from a sensor attached to a user, and a master node with a controller and a wireless receiver for receiving the transmitted signal from the wireless transmitter. The master node processes the transmitted signal and communicates a control signal to the powered assistive device. The wireless transmitter transmits the transmitted signal at a first rate when the wireless transmitter adapted to transmit the transmitted signal at a first rate when the sensor signal is indicative of the rest state and to transmit the transmitted signal at a second rate when the sensor signal is indicative of the active state, the second rate being greater than the first rate.

Management of wireless transmission rate of control signals for power assistive devices

A prosthetic finger includes a main body and a terminal gripper at an end of the main body for enabling fine-motor grasping skills. The terminal gripper has at least two tongs movable relative to one another. The prosthetic finger includes a gripping mode and a flexion mode. In the gripping mode, the tongs of the terminal gripper are able to move relative to one another while the main body is not able to flex, and in the flexion mode, the main body is able to flex while the at two tongs is not able to move relative to one another.

Prosthetic fingertip end effectors

The subject matter disclosed herein relates to end devices (e.g., meters, sensors, pumps, etc.) of an industrial monitoring system or an industrial control system. A system includes an end device having processing circuitry configured to execute instructions stored in at least one memory device to enable the end device to collect and store a plurality of measurements of operational parameters of a monitored system in the at least one memory device according to a dynamic mapping that is updatable.

A tool for holding and applying torque to a nut including a keyway. The tool includes a longitudinal body having a longitudinal axis and a body channel. A longitudinal key is disposed in the body channel with one end of the key configured to engage the keyway of the nut. A first key portion contacts the body channel while a second key portion extends over the body channel forming a gap between the key and the body channel prior to insertion of the key into the keyway of the nut. The second key portion is configured to be resiliently deflected radially inward toward the longitudinal axis of the longitudinal body when the second key portion engages the keyway of the nut.

Apparatus for holding and applying torque to a nut

A device to hang articles includes a base defining a generally flat body to engage a mounting surface and a hook protruding therefrom to hang an article. The device also includes a bracket pivotally attached to the base at a proximal end of the bracket and a piercing arm extending from a distal end of the bracket. Also, the bracket is adapted to pivot between a first position relative to the base where the piercing arm is retracted from the mounting surface, and a second position relative to the base where the piercing arm is inserted into the mounting surface to retain the device thereto.

Self-piercing hanging device

An apparatus and method for determining temperature is disclosed. An ultrasonic signal is generated that propagates through a buffer and a portion of the signal is reflected at an interface. A time of flight is measured between generating the ultrasonic signal and detecting the reflected portion. The temperature is determined based on the time of flight of the reflected signal.

Apparatus and method for determining temperature

An apparatus configured for insertion into a sensor port of a flow cell is described herein. The apparatus includes an insert body, a sensor located in the cavity of the insert body, and an insert body holding nut and a sensor holding nut threaded to the interior surface of the sensor port.

Removable sensor port insert apparatus

An insert apparatus for installing a transducer assembly in a sensor port of a flow cell is disclosed. The transducer assembly is installed in the cavity of the insert body without the use of glues or adhesives to bond the transducer assembly to the cavity.

Sensor port insert apparatus

Flow cell for a flow meter

A flow cell for a plurality of sensor assemblies to communicate with a flow meter for measuring characteristics. The flow cell includes a sensor body with a sensor body bore extending through the sensor body. The flow cell also includes a sensor body quadrant extending outwardly from the sensor body bore on a side of the flow cell, wherein the sensor body quadrant intersects the sensor body bore. A plurality of sensor ports extend through the sensor body quadrant to provide openings from the exterior of the flow cell to the sensor body bore in which sensor assemblies can be inserted. A cable channel extends internally within the sensor body quadrant at least from the plurality of sensor ports to an access port on the exterior of the flow cell for routing cables from the sensor ports to communicate with the flow meter.

In one embodiment, a multi-path ultrasonic flow meter for determining the flow rate of a fluid in a conduit is disclosed comprising at least two transducer pairs attached to the conduit at two chord locations, one greater than and one less than a mid-radius chord, wherein the composite ratio the two path velocities to the flow rate is substantially constant over the range of Reynolds numbers. In another embodiment, a method of determining the flow rate of a fluid in a conduit is disclosed comprising the steps of determining a composite velocity by determining a weighted average of a plurality of path velocities, determining a chord velocity ratio based on the path velocities, determining a profile correction factor based on the composite velocity and the chord velocity ratio, and determining the flow rate based on the composite velocity and the profile correction factor.
