Abstract:
A reduction gear (49) for a walking assistance system is provided that includes first to third planetary gear mechanisms (P1 to P3) between an input shaft (Si) connected to a motor (48) and an output shaft (So), the second planetary gear mechanism (P2) being disposed radially outside the first planetary gear mechanism (P1) connected to the input shaft (Si), and the third planetary gear mechanism (P3) being disposed outside, in the direction of an axis L, the first planetary gear mechanism (P1). It is therefore possible, while reducing the speed of rotation of the input shaft (Si) in three stages by the first to the third planetary gear mechanisms (P1 to P3) and transmitting the rotation to the output shaft (So), to reduce the thickness of the reduction gear (49) compared with a case in which the first to the third planetary gear mechanisms (P1 to P3) are disposed so as to be stacked in the direction of the axis (L), thereby improving the appearance when a user is fitted with the walking assistance system.

Abstract:
A multiple-joint therapy machine includes a support frame and a rotatable base supported at a selectable height on the support frame. The rotatable base is configured to be releasably securable at a selectable angular orientation with respect to the support frame. A carrier link is at least pivotably mounted with respect to the rotatable base and is movable at least pivotably with respect to the rotatable base about a main axis. A geared hinge at least pivotably connects the carrier link with respect to the rotatable base. The geared hinge includes a main shaft and an attached sun gear. A planet carrier is rotatably attached to the main shaft. A planet shaft and an attached planet gear are rotatably attached to the planet carrier.

Abstract:
A modular passive-to-active exoskeleton system utilizes motor unit modules, an electromagnetic-clutch power transmission system, and biometric control. The passive exoskeleton has a stamina-increasing “chairless chair” function and optional use of magnetic ball-and-socket joints and knee torsion springs. To convert the exoskeleton system into an active robotic wearable device, modular attachments allow for motor units to be securely connected to the exoskeletal frame. An exoskeleton system may contain a knee motor unit that has a transmission system with an electromagnetic clutch that enables a passive mode, active mode, and/or hybrid mode. The motor units are controlled using wireless biometric motion sensors that measure limb joint angle and muscle activity. These motor units also communicate via wireless transmission with a central processing unit of the exoskeleton. This central processing unit serves as a gateway for user feedback from an Internet-of-Things (IoT) device, such as a smartphone, tablet, computer, etc.

A wearable device may include a proximal support configured to support a proximal part (e.g., waist) of a user, a distal support configured to support a distal part (e.g., thigh) of the user, a driving assembly which is connected to the proximal support and configured to generate power, and a driving frame configured to transmit the force from the driving assembly to the distal support. The driving assembly may include a housing which is connected to the proximal support, an actuator including a stator which is fixed to the housing and has a ring shape and a rotor which is located inside the stator and rotatable relative to the stator, a speed reducer which is inserted inside the rotor and includes an input end which is connected to an output end of the actuator, and a supporting part configured to support the speed reducer and connected detachably to the housing.

For example, the driving module including a driving source provided on one side of a user and configured to transmit power, a power transmitting rotary body configured to rotate by the power transmitted from the driving source, and a first decelerator configured to transmit power between the driving source and the power transmitting rotary body, the first decelerator having an input side rotary body configured to receive power from the driving source, and an output side rotary body configured to transmit power to the power transmitting rotary body may be provided.
Abstract:
A sex toy comprising a body housing a motor; a shaft coupled to the motor; a massaging member mounted over the shaft; and a controller coupled to control the motor to drive the massaging member in a reciprocating motion along the length of the shaft is described. The reciprocating motion results in a change in length of the sex toy. The change in length may comprise about 20 mms to about 100 mms; about 25 mm to about 90 mm; or about 30 mm to about 85 mm. One full stroke of the reciprocating motion may be performed in about 0.5 to about 2.0 about seconds; about 0.6 to about 1.5 seconds; or about 0.7 to about 1.0 seconds.
Abstract:
Driving modules, motion assistance apparatuses including at least one of the driving modules, and methods of controlling at least one of the motion assistance apparatuses may be provided. For example, a driving module including a driving source on one side of a user and configured to transmit power, an input side rotary body coupled to the driving source and configured to rotate, first and second decelerators configured to operate using the power respectively received from the driving source through the input side rotary body, and a first stopper and a second stopper configured to selectively enable or disable a transmission of the power between the input side rotary body and respective output terminals of the first and second decelerators may be provided.
Abstract:
Small high efficiency motors in order to produce large amounts of power must be operated such that they are running at high speed outside the desired vibration range for sexual stimulation. Accordingly, designs allowing for the appropriate gearing to allow heavy weights to be spun with small diameter and high efficiency whilst not increasing the outer diameter of an adult device are disclosed. Beneficially embodiments of the invention provide users with adult devices providing high impact (amplitude) vibration in a range of physical geometries compatible with providing internal and/or external stimulation which can also be offered at low cost and/or low manufacturing cost with extended operating life. Additionally, design flexibility via axial designs, non-axial designs, flexible drive designs, aperiodic drive designs, and linearly driven designs provide design solutions for implementing vibrators with low cost, high impact, targeted frequency characteristics, increased efficiency, and increased power.
