    Feasibility Study of a Balanced Upper Arm Orthosis based on Bending Beams

    No full text
    People with neuromuscular diseases request an orthosis close to the body for assistance with their arm movements. This paper proposes a concept for a passive arm support that is close to the body and is based on bending beams. Simulations resulted in the final configuration and dimensions of the beams, optimised to balance an arm. One Carbon-fibre-reinforced polymer beam with dimensions 0.22x0.0041x0.0027m at the medial side and one at the lateral side of the upper arm delivers the required energy for balancing the arm. Experimental evaluation of a prototype demonstrated the technical principle; more than 87% of the moment around the shoulder was balanced between 0 and 1.1rad. A second prototype was built for preliminary evaluation of the concept in relation to the body. The width of the elastic and structural elements was more than four times smaller than in present arm supports. From this it was concluded that bending beams have the potential to make an orthosis that is closer to the upper arm than current orthoses.BMEBioMechanical EngineeringMechanical, Maritime and Materials Engineerin

    J.L. Brierly and The Modernization of International Law

    Full text link
    In this Article, the author provides an analysis of a classic of international law, The Law of Nations, by J.L. Brierly. The author describes Brierly as an international legal scholar whose modernization of international law involves an emphasis on fact and complexity, an emphasis that is ultimately little more than a gesture. The author then examines the narrative structure of The Law of Nations and indicates the normative messages disclosed in Brierly\u27s telling of the story of international law. Finally, the author describes Brierly\u27s effort to describe international law as occupying a political realm while Brierly\u27s evolutionary optimism made him anything but a political realist. In short, the author sees in Brierly\u27s promises of complexity and realism a thinly veiled simplicity that would be subsumed into the orthodoxies of international legal thought
