Methods and systems to interface between physiological devices and a prosthetic device, including to receive a plurality of types of physiological activity signals from a user, decode a user movement intent from each of the plurality of signals types, and fuse the movement intents into a joint decision to control moveable elements of the prosthetic device.

Multi-modal neural interfacing for prosthetic devices

A robotic compliant jaw gripper includes one or more fingers, wherein each finger comprises a plurality of phalanges configured to grasp an object, wherein an internal compliant element is compressed, or wherein a proximal phalange contacts a compliant element as the finger applies pressure against the object; and a preload unit is configured to change the durometer of the compressible element.

Robotic finger assemblies

A robotic finger assembly has a first phalange connected to a palm via a first joint, a second phalange connected to the first phalange via a second joint, and a third phalange connected to the second phalange via a third joint. A drive spool at the first phalange has a first and second tendon wound in opposite directions. A first spool is aligned with the second joint and has the first tendon wound to enter and exit the first spool on a first side, and has the second tendon wound to enter and exit the first spool on a second side. A second spool is aligned with the third joint and has the first tendon wound to enter and exit the second spool on the first side, and has the second tendon wound to enter and exit the second spool on the second side.

A controller for a prosthetic device includes a processing section, an interface section connected to the processing section, and a power supply connected to both the processing section and the interface section. A dorsal indicator and a dorsal switch are disposed in a hand portion of the prosthetic device, and are both connected to the interface section.

Control system for prosthetic limb

A plurality of interconnected phalanges form robotic fingers configured to grasp an object. The phalanges interact with a resilient compliant element for adjustable resilient cushioning of movement of the phalanges.

A system and method (FIG.) for automated handling and identification of parcels sorted by an automated high-speed mail sorting apparatus that identifies parcels that contain hoax or biological threat material comprising an opener () and a particle sampler () wherein said sampler analyzes air flow created as the parcels are compressed by pinch rollers ().

Apparatus and method for automated parcel screening

A sampling device is disclosed. The sampling device is portable and capable of taking two samples in parallel. The sampling device can include two filter locations that are subjected to similar environmental conditions. The sampling device design facilitates easy assembly and disassembly, and can be designed so that a single filter holder design can be used in both filter locations.
