An integrated drilling system includes a rotary steerable control unit and an electromagnetic LWD control unit deployed in an external collar. The rotary steerable control unit is deployed below the electromagnetic LWD control unit and is configured to control a direction of drilling of the integrated drilling system. A near bit electromagnetic antenna is deployed in a recess on the collar circumferentially about the rotary steerable control unit. At least one electromagnetic transmitter and at least one electromagnetic receiver are deployed in corresponding recesses in the collar circumferentially about the electromagnetic LWD control unit with the at least one transmitter and at least one receiver configured to make electromagnetic logging measurements while drilling. An electrical jumper provides an electrical connection between the near bit electromagnetic antenna and the electromagnetic LWD control unit.

A shoe insert includes a generally planar body having a perimeter defining a foot-shaped area on an upper side of the body, the foot-shaped area including first and second toe areas and a heel area configured respectively for placement of a first toe, a second toe, and a heel of a user. The upper side defines a channel extending along an axis passing through a space between the first and second toe areas and the heel area. A linear member may be placed in the channel to protrude from an upper surface of the body. When a user uses the insert, the user's foot may sense the channel (or linear member, if present) and activate mechano-receptors on the bottom of the foot along the channel, which, in-turn, may train the foot to extend in a predetermined position relative to the linear member to improve balance.

An improved protective helmet having an outer impact receiving shell, and inner protective shell and an intermediate piston interposed between the outer and inner shells which allows the inner shell to decelerate gradually when the outer shell is subjected to a sudden impact, and which, therefore, permits the brain to decelerate safely.

Concussive helmet

A universal handle which can quickly and easily be attached to substantially any desired article and which is ergonomically designed to be comfortable to carry and which fold into itself for convenient storage when not in use.

The present invention is an active exercise apparatus and an active support apparatus having isometric features providing a source of isotonic and isokinotic exercise for muscles in the lower back, lumbar and pelvic regions of the body, the lower back and/or lumbar support being actively adjustable in both an analog aspect and a digital aspect. The present apparatus may be an accessory to a seat and is transportable from seat to seat or may be integrated into the back rest of a seat and be fixed, relative to the seat.

The method for controlling a motor driving a load holds the speed of the output shaft of the motor substantially constant as the torque imposed upon the shaft by the load varies, then regulates the rate of change of the output torque delivered by the motor's output shaft based on the sensed value of output torque as the motor's speed decreases.

Optimum motor speed control system

A light weight exercise apparatus includes a support including a first part extending along a portion of the lower arm of the user and a second part extending from the first part and having first and second portions. The first portion is an outwardly curved portion for supporting the wrist and hand of the user and the second portion is a portion extending downward and outward from the first portion to form a retaining portion for further supporting and substantially surrounding the hand of the user. The retaining portion further includes a grip portion attached to and extending across the width of the retaining portion to be gripped by the hand of the user.
