A patient transfer system is provided for quick, easy and comfortable movement of a patient between horizontal and vertical positions and between lateral locations for medical procedures. The system includes a gurney with a patient positioning board pivotally mounted thereon for movement between horizontal and upright positions. The board is adapted to receive a patient mold. A footrest is provided at the lower end of the board such that a patient can step onto the footrest when the board is in ...

The present invention corrects a teaching point set in a robot movement control program to another position using jog-feed buttons. A robot tool is moved by jog-feed buttons using a jog-feed command unit toward a position to which a teaching point is to be corrected. When the position of the tool approaches any teaching point contained in a movement command program, the robot is automatically shifted to the teaching point to be corrected in the movement command program. When the teaching point t...

A device for converting a rectilinear movement into a rotary movement, comprising at least one piston-cylinder mechanism having a cylinder and a piston moveable arranged in the cylinder for rectilinear movement, a crankshaft for rotary movement, and a connecting rod connecting the piston and the crankshaft, the centre of rotation of the crankshaft being arranged displaced at a distance from the line along which the piston is moveable and that the crankshaft has a direction of rotation so that th...

The invention relates to a device for converting a rotary movement into an oscillating movement frequently employed in agricultural implements, comprising a rotatable driving shaft, a fly-wheel rigidly secured thereto, an oscillatorily driven body adapted to oscillate about an axis crossing or intersecting the driving shaft axis and a coupling element pivoted to said body and journalled eccentrically in the fly-wheel; to adjusting in a simple manner the magnitude of the oscillating movement or t...

A mechanism for transforming a rotational movement into a linear movement, comprising a non-deformable nut, that is prevented from rotating but not from axially moving, a radially deformable tubular screw, having freedom of rotation but not of axial movement and having a pitch equal to that of the nut but of a slightly external smaller diameter than the internal diameter of the nut. A pushing device inside the screw, with the ability to rotate and to push against the internal wall surface of the...

A device for converting a rotary motion into an axial motion has a threaded spindle (1), a nut concentrically surrounding the threaded spindle with a clearance and a plurality of axially parallel rollers (2) guided in a cage (6) and arranged in the clearance, said rollers (2) have a circumferential profile by which they mesh with the external thread of the threaded spindle (1) and with the corresponding internal thread of the nut. Each of these rollers (2) is axially displaceable within the cage...

A device for convering rotary to linear motion is composed of at least one ring surrounding a shaft or tube with balls running in a part-helical track in the ring or shaft. The balls are radially pre-loaded and a slot intersects the end and the start of the track to provide punctiform ball contact zones. One ball is then transferred at a time free of load from the end to the start of the track as the ring rotates. Side covers have profiles on their inner surfaces to control laterally the ball be...

A device is composed of relatively rotatable cylindrical components one of which has a groove forming a raceway or track of part-helical form containing a set of balls in contact with a plain surface of the other component. The raceway wedges with the balls to resist direct axial motion between the components. Rotation of one component causes the balls to move around the raceway and be guided from the end to the start thereof under sufficient traction to cause linear motion of the other componen...

An acceleration information detecting unit of an acceleration detecting apparatus having an acceleration sensor with at least one axis that measures acceleration in a back and forth direction (or a right and left direction) of a walking person. Acceleration data indicating the acceleration is sent to a wireless communication control unit. The wireless communication control unit sends the acceleration data to a physical movement analyzer using a short-distance wireless communication method. On th...

A first movement detection sensor comprises a void formed by a partition wall made of a non-magnetic material, a magnetized rolling member which is sealed inside the void, and a magnetic sensor provided in the partition wall. A second movement detection sensor is configured by positioning the rolling member in the substantial center of the void and then filling the void with a visco-elastic body until the visco-elastic body abuts against the rolling member. A movement detection device is constru...
