Abstract: As stroke is one of the most morbidity disease, some rehabilitation devices has been developed to solve the problem, but there isn’t maturation in hand. This paper presents a new hand exoskeleton rehabilitation device to improve the result of rehabilitation and help doctors to perfect theory about hand rehabilitation. We set 8 DOF in this three fingers device, with 2 active DOF and 1 coupled DOF in index or middle finger, 1 active DOF and 1 passive DOF in thumb. The 5 active DOF is driven by motors. The transmission consists of screw nut and multi-link mechanism. We control the device through a typical secondary control system. As this device is designed to help patients not only regain the range of flexion/extension but also complete some typical simple grasping movements. To substantiate the feasibility, an experiment has been carried out. Finally, Suggestions for improvement are given.

Abstract: In ocean science research, it often requires the integrity of the gas content in samples of seawater. The gas-tight deep-sea water sampler (GTWS) based on pressure self-adaptive equalizer (PSAE) can satisfy the requirement very well. The PSAE is required to achieve a reliable dynamic sealing in deep sea. The general O-ring is difficult to meet this requirement. The polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE)-coated O-ring is chosen as the sealing parts. The finite element analysis (FEA) software ANSYS is used to analyze the contact pressure of the PTFE-coated O-ring in different conditions, that is, analyze the GTWS’s gas tightness theoretically. Combine with the sea trial results, the feasibility and reliability of the PTFE-coated O-ring in deep-sea dynamic sealing in PSAE can be prove both in theory and practice.
