A rotary rehabilitation apparatus is presented for rehabilitation of a person's extremity, including the joints and assorted muscles, tendons, ligaments, that can be tailored to the person's needs based upon their physical size, type of injury, and plan for recovery. The apparatus facilitates the adjustment of the range of motion of the user's extremity in a cycling action by offsetting a moveable lever from a fixed lever at a plurality of angles. As the user's extremity moves in a circular path, the extremity engages in extension and flexion to cause movements in the articulations formed at the user's joints.

The invention discloses a cervical collar which provides support, safety and stability to the neck of the wearer, and is arranged to prevent cervical flexion, extension and bilateral lateral flexion while allowing cervical rotation. The cervical collar comprises two parts; one back piece including a shoulder and back support piece attached to an adjustable neck piece and a chin support piece. The chin support piece can be lowered, raised and/or removed by the wearer of the collar in order to allow opening of the mouth sufficiently for eating or performing personal hygiene without unwanted extension of the neck.

A patient care system for positioning on a limb of a patient for assisting in flexion or extension of a joint. The system has a threaded shaft which engages a toothed gear. The threaded shaft is rotated to rotate the toothed gear for assisting in flexion or extension of the joint.

Articulating devices for replacing damaged or degenerated weight bearing joints are provided. The devices may have two or more surfaces that articulate against one another that are coated or fully formed of PEEK or similar materials to provide improved wear capabilities while maintaining sufficient strength to operate in a weight bearing capacity.

A cup seal 21 includes a base portion 21a, an inner circumferential lip 21b slidingly contactable with a plunger 19 and an outer circumferential lip 21c contactable with the bottom surface 26a of the seal groove 26. Further, on the cup seal 21, there are provided elastic projections 21d projecting from the outer circumferential side leading end of the inner circumferential lip 21b toward the cylinder hole bottom portion. The length of the cup seal 21 from the base end face 21e to the leading end portions 21f is set longer than axial length of the seal groove 26. When the cup seal 21 is fitted into the seal groove 26, force is imparted on the inner circumferential lip 21b toward the cylinder hole inner circumferential direction to energize the inner circumferential lip 21b toward the piston all the time.

The present invention includes a high performance communications cable exhibiting reduced cross-talk between transmission media that includes one or more core support-separators having various shaped profiles which define a clearance to maintain a spacing between transmission media or transmission media pairs. The core may be formed of a conductive or insulative material. A method of producing this cable introduce core support-separators as described above into the cable assembly. The specially shaped core support-separator can be either interior to the cable jacket or be employed singularly without the benefit of a jacket and extends along the longitudinal length of the communications cable. Alternatively, with no jacket for cable completion, a portion of the separator wherein a thin layer of material can act as a type of skin for future mechanical protection is provided. The specially shaped core support-separator has a central region that is either solid or partially solid. The cable may include a plurality of shaped sections that extend outward from the central region along the length of the central region. The specially shaped sections of the core support-separator may be helixed as the core extends along the length of the communications cable. Each of the adjacent specially shaped sections defines a distinct clearance channel that extends along the longitudinal length of the core support-separator. Each of the defined clearance channels allow for disposal therein of conductors and/or optical fibers.

The invention proposes a state transition and neural network-based Chinese chunk parsing method. The method comprises the steps of converting a chunk parsing task into a serialized tagging task; tagging a sentence by using a state transition-based framework; scoring a transition operation to be carried out in each state by using a forward neural network in the tagging process; and taking a distributed representation characteristic of words and part-of-speech tagging learned by utilizing a two-way long short-term memory neural network model as an additional information characteristic of a tagging model, thereby improving the accuracy of chunk parsing. Compared with other Chinese chunk parsing technologies, the Chinese chunk parsing method has the advantages that characteristics of chunk levels can be more flexibly added by using the state transition-based framework, combination modes among the characteristics can be automatically learned by using the neural network, the useful additional information characteristic is introduced by utilizing the two-way long short-term memory neural network model, and the combination of the state transition-based framework, the neural network and the two-way long short-term memory neural network model effectively improves the accuracy of chunk parsing.
