Invacare Corporation Sponsors Second Annual Oxygen-Powered Bicycle Trip from Charleston to Key West
Invacare Corporation (2010). Invacare corporation sponsors second annual oxygen-powered bicycle trip from Charleston to Key West. Invacare Corporation On Thursday October 7, 2010, 10:00 am EDT.

"This trip shows that Invacare portable oxygen concentrators allow a user to go just about anywhere, including a bicycle tour down the east coast, without worrying about their oxygen supply.” ... -- John Lescher, director, Invacare respiratory group.
ELYRIA, Ohio--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- Invacare Corporation is sponsoring a bicycle expedition to raise awareness of COPD and inspire oxygen users to live active lives. The cyclist, Mark Junge, will be using the Invacare® XPO2™ Portable Oxygen Concentrator and Invacare® SOLO2® Transportable Oxygen Concentrator on his 792-mile trip. He will begin in Charleston, South Carolina, on October 8th, 2010, and complete the trek in Key West, Florida, mid-November of 2010.
Mr. Junge, a retired historian, writer and photographer from Cheyenne, Wyoming, suffers from blood clots in his lungs which cause him to be oxygen-dependent. He uses supplementary oxygen daily to maintain his active lifestyle. This is his sixth bike trip to raise awareness of COPD.
“I hope this trip will encourage oxygen-dependent people to strive for mobility and achieve more fulfilling lives,” said Mr. Junge. “This bicycle tour will not only help educate the public about respiratory problems, but also demonstrate possible solutions such as the SOLO2 and XPO2 Concentrators.”
In a trip spanning just over a month, Mark will visit South Carolina, Georgia and Florida. Follow Mark’s journey at www.invacare.com/travel, on Twitter at http://twitter.com/o2biketour or on Flickr at http://www.flickr.com/photos/o2biketour/. To schedule an interview with Mark along his ride, call 307-286-0421 or email junges@bresnan.net.
“Invacare is pleased to once again support Mark’s voyage and raise awareness for the opportunities created by portable oxygen,” said John Lescher, director, Invacare respiratory group. “This trip shows that Invacare portable oxygen concentrators allow a user to go just about anywhere, including a bicycle tour down the east coast, without worrying about their oxygen supply.”
Introduced in May 2008, the XPO2 portable concentrator combines the reliability and durability providers want with the clinical performance patients need to stay oxygenated during use. The XPO2 portable concentrator weighs only six pounds and incorporates Invacare® Sensi-Pulse™ technology, an innovative five-setting pulse dose oxygen delivery system that keeps oxygen patients saturated during all activities of daily living. It operates from battery, AC or DC power. The two-and-a-half hour battery duration (at setting 2) may be doubled to five hours through the use of an optional one-and-a-half pound supplemental battery that attaches easily to the carrying case. Other features include quiet, simple operation and a contemporary, non-medical look.
The Invacare SOLO2 transportable oxygen concentrator is the latest addition to Invacare’s proven line of oxygen therapy products. Like the XPO2 portable concentrator, the SOLO2 concentrator also features the state of the art Sensi-Pulse technology. The SOLO2 concentrator operates from battery, AC or DC power for added patient convenience. It is small, quiet and reliable, giving patients the freedom to go just about anywhere.
Invacare Corporation (NYSE:IVC - News), headquartered in Elyria, Ohio, is the global leader in the manufacture and distribution of innovative home and long-term care medical products that promote recovery and active lifestyles. The company has 6,100 associates and markets its products in 80 countries around the world. For more information about the company and its products, visit Invacare’s website at www.invacare.com.

Berkeley Bionics: Introducing eLEGS
Watch this: What are your opinions?....Comments?
Hogg, C. (2010). Bionics: Introducing eLEGS. Digital journal. In the media. Berkeley. Retrieved Oct 7 2010 from

Berkeley - A company called Berkeley Bionics has launched a new product called eLegs. The wearable, artificially intelligent bionic device allows people who have lost function of their legs to stand and walk.
Berkeley Bionics makes exoskeletons that "augment human strength, endurance and mobility." Today the company announced its new eLEGS product which is based on early work at the Berkeley Robotics and Human Engineering lab.
Announced at a press conference in San Francisco today, eLEGS allow a disabled or paraplegic person to walk as though they have full control over their lower body. The company says its knee flexion technology is better than competing exoskeletons which translates into the most natural human movement available by robotics today.
“Many of the six million Americans who live with some form of paralysis today were highly active and at the top of their game when they sustained their injury," said Berkeley Bionics’ CEO, Eythor Bender. "As they research their options for increased mobility, they discover wheelchairs are pretty much it. This has been the only alternative – their only hope – for nearly 500 years.
Bender says eLEGS allow disabled people to stand up and walk for the first time since their injury.
The company says walking speed depends on the patient's aptitude and condition, but it's not impossible to reach speed of 2 mph (3.2 km/h). It can be made to fit most people between 5’2 and 6’4” and weighing 220 lbs or less, in minutes. In order to fasten oneself to the device, he or she uses Velcro straps, backpack-style clips and shoulder straps. eLEGS fits over the user's clothes and shoes.
The eLEGS exoskeleton is battery-powered and uses sensors within a gesture-based human-machine interface to determine movement. It pays attention to the gestures of the user and then attempts to determine the user's intentions by initiating movement. The company says a real-time computer monitors the sensors and input devices to coordinate every aspect of a single stride.
The device will first be offered to rehab centers to use under medical supervision, the company says, and clinical trials are set to start early next year in the U.S.
