Patent:
WO 2015006612 A1, "Actuation System and Methods"
When we were satisfied that the mechanical multiplexer (One-to-Many) was working, we filed for a provisional patent. The page is linked above and the abstract is below.
"Actuation systems and methods are disclosed. Such systems may comprise a motor having a drive shaft, one or more modules coupled to the drive shaft, each module comprising one or more energy storage elements and one or more actuating members connecting the one or more energy storage elements to one or more degrees of freedom, which are configured to actuate in response to a discharge of energy from the one or more energy storage element, and a plurality of clutches associated with each module to couple the energy storage element of the module to the drive shaft of the motor and to control an energy state of the energy storage element independent of energy storage elements of other modules."
