| Abstract | Our muscles have characteristic features which are stiffness and elasticity. The reason we make the muscle's characteristic features stronger is to protect bones and organs from external attacks. The purpose of this study is to develop a voluntary protection suit that has stiffness and elasticity, and to confirm that the wearers can control it voluntarily and enhance their protective functions. The suits consist of sensing, control and pneumatic artificial muscles (PAM) units. When the sensing unit detects the wearer's protection intention based on bioelectrical signals, solenoid valve in the control unit releases compressed air in PAM. PAM, expanded by the air, generates increased stiffness and elasticity levels. The suits have PAM units around both the upper limbs and anterior and posterior the chest and the abdomen. By our basic experiment, we confirmed that the suit started putting compressed air into PAM by detecting the wearer's protection intention. The results of the wearing experiments showed that the suit could decrease the pain and pressure of wearer greatly. Based on the results, we concluded that we could develop a voluntary protection suit enhancing human protection functions. The proposed strategies could be applied for a new full-body protection system utilizing artificial muscle with stiffness and the elasticity. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
Ministry of Education, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT), has sponsored and funded the National Digital Library of India (NDLI) project.
