ViewLite Plus

The ViewLite Plus dynamic monitor arm is a unique product. Instead of using a conventional height adjustment mechanism based on either a coil spring or gas strut, it uses Single Direction Bearings (SDB). Our SDB mechanism completely balances the chosen position of the monitor. It provides enough friction to prevent the screen from sagging, and almost no friction at all when the user is moving the monitor upwards. This method completely eliminates the necessity for springs or gas struts.

GE’s New Bridge Suite

GE’s modular ship control system is designed to fit both large and lightweight vessels, providing intuitive control and clear visual feedback. New positioning technology, engine control systems and monitoring devices enable ships to be maneuvered accurately in confined spaces whilst reducing stress on the operator as complex manual controls are replaced with new touch screen technology. An adjustable screen reduces reflections and optimizes ergonomics. All consoles have integrated grab handles for use in rough seas.

Rotation Saw

A Power Chain Saw with a Revolving Handle. This chain has a handle that revolves 360° and stops at predefined angles. In general, people cut trees horizontally or vertically by turning their saws at certain angles or leaning or tilting their body parts. Unfortunately, the saw often slips from the user’s grasp or the user has to work in an awkward position, which may cause injuries. To make up for such drawbacks, the proposed saw is fitted with a revolving handle so that the user can adjust the cutting angles.

ROC

The revolutionary ROC pump exploits the mechanical advantages of an innovative and recently granted patented mechanical device that converts a single rotary action into multiple linear movements. Innovative features of the ROC pump include an ultra compact rotary design that produces an impressive volume of pumped air, giving far quicker inflation times and better ergonomics than conventional hand pumps, making tyre inflation easier and vastly reduced likelihood of breaking valve stems.

CR1

The CR1 is a carbon fiber wheelchair that is fully customizable to the user's individual specifications and preferences. The unique, dual-angle front end was designed to follow the lines of the user's body, allowing them to get closer to objects for improved accessibility and maneuverability in tight spaces. The aerodynamic tube profile and its orientation were designed to improve strength, user comfort in areas contacting the body and aesthetically to promote a sense of speed. The dual-purpose sideguards provide protection to the user while acting as a structural member for support.
