A force sensor system for use in monitoring weight bearing on a location. The force sensor system comprises at least one a foot force sensor, a palm force sensor, and a knee force sensor. The foot force sensor comprises a flexible insole containing a plurality of inflatable pockets that are inflated with air or liquid. The palm force sensor and knee force sensor each comprise a wrap to be worn around the palm and knee, respectively. Each wrap comprises a pocket. Each pocket is connected to a tube that, in turn, connects with a pressure sensor and a connector coupling that is remote from the pocket. Each coupling contains a valve. The valve opens to allow inflation and deflation of each inflatable pocket. The pressure sensors measure the air or liquid pressure within each of the inflatable pockets, and convert the corresponding pressure signal into a suitable output signal medium, usually electrical signals. The output signal from the sensors provides accurate real time input data to a weight bearing biofeedback system or to control a stimulator for activation of an electronic orthosis to normalize dynamic gait patterns.

A drop on demand ink jet print head has a chamber with a plurality of liquid passages into and out of said chamber, such that liquid is continuously moved into the chamber to a stagnation point adjacent to the nozzle opening, whereat the fluid comes substantially to rest, and out of the chamber from the stagnation point such that vector sum of liquid flow derived forces within the liquid channels is neutral. An actuator associated with the chamber is adapted to selectively increase the pressure of the liquid at the stagnation point to thereby eject a liquid drop from the nozzle opening. Continuous fluid flow internal to the system decreases the time to refill the fire chamber directly behind the nozzle opening after droplet ejection. This in turn dramatically increases the response time of the system.

High-pressure liquid produced by an external high-pressure pump passes through a passage of a high-pressure cylinder and is injected into a closed space formed by a upper fixed cone mould, a lower movable cone mould and the protective ring by a passage in a force-reduction column of a mould part in order that the protective ring generates plastic deformation under the action of hydraulic pressure, thereby achieving the aim of strengthening the protective ring; through adjusting low pressure of liquid in a low-pressure cylinder, the stress size of a contact part between the protective ring and the mould is adjusted so as to achieve the aim of sealing and adjusting the shape and the size of the protective ring; and a displacement sensor is used to monitor the bulging size of the protective ring. The process no longer occupies large-scale hydraulic press equipment, uses a load-bearing frame with a simple structure and small dimension and an external liquid replenishing cylinder to replace a hydraulic press for strengthening the protective ring; the bulging process can substantially reduce force, is easy to control the forming process, can repeatedly bulge, greatly improve the forming precision of the protective ring and reduce the machining allowance by 1 / 3 than the routine common hydraulic bulging; and the mould has a simple structure, convenient mounting and detachment, strong universality and low production cost and can achieve higher economical benefit.

The object of providing a cerebrospinal fluid drainage system 1 which reacts precisely to changes in pressure in the cerebrospinal fluid, with ease of operation, is achieved by the present invention in that a pump 5 is used for draining the cerebrospinal fluid (liquor), wherein operating measured values supplied by sensors act as controlled variable for the operation of the pump. The pressure in the liquor line currently measured by a pressure sensor 10, the liquor pressure in the intracranial cavity being treated, measured intracorporeally by a pressure sensor, and / or the volume of liquor already pumped out, as operating measured value, can, for example, serve as the basis for operational control of the pump of the liquor drainage system.

In this way the pumping capacity can be regulated depending on requirement and the drainage pressure or the liquor pressure kept reliably within a specific pressure range.

Apparatus and method for dissolving chemical tablets for creating a variable rate of chemical dissolution in a stream of constant flow rate of untreated liquid, especially water. The apparatus includes a housing in which a container is placed. The container includes a sieve plate or perforated grid which separates the container into an upper chamber in which chemical tablets are stored and a lower mixing chamber. A collection reservoir is defined in an annular outside the container wall and inside of the housing. Several arrangements are illustrated by which a vortex of liquid is generated of controllable variable intensity in the lower or mixing chamber thereby creating uneven liquid pressure beneath the perforated grid as a function of radial distance. As a result, fluid passes aggressively through outer radial perforations or holes in the grid and which impinge on the chemical tablets stacked on the grid. The liquid circulates in the upper chamber from the outward radial position toward the center of the grid plate, while eroding the tablets, and returns to the mixing chamber. A portion of the liquid exits into the collection reservoir. Liquid communication also exits from a hole in the bottom of the lower mixing chamber, which is open to the collection reservoir. Varying the intensity of the vortex varies the rate of chemical dissolution, yet the flow rate of liquid through the apparatus is constant.
