- About MUSCLE SUIT Every
MUSCLE SUIT Every is an assist suit that reduces the burden on the waist anytime a worker must maintain a half-sitting posture, whether lifting people or heavy objects. The suit has an auxiliary force of up to 25.5 kgf and weighs only 3.8 kg. Not relying on electric power, this artificial MUSCLE SUIT uses compressed air to exert auxiliary power, so it is great for use in the manufacturing, agricultural, nursing care, logistics, and construction fields. As of the end of April 2021, more than 20,000 units of the MUSCLE SUIT® had been sold. According to our research, Innophys leads worldwide in the number of units of exoskeleton-type assist suits using artificial muscles sold to date.

- MUSCLE SUIT GS-ARM
MUSCLE SUIT GS-ARM is an assist suit that reduces the strain on the arms and shoulders when engaging in work involving the raising of one’s arms over long periods of time or repetitively. With auxiliary power that supports lifting of the upper arm, you can concentrate on the work without feeling the weight or fatigue of the arm. As the unit does not require electricity and is water and dustproof, it can be used with no restrictions due to time, location, or weather. The suit’s wide operating area allows free movement, and can also be used in combination with various other tools. The suit has applications in agriculture, construction and civil engineering, inspection and management, manufacturing, as well as in many other sectors.

Philip English – Right.
Shimei Ze – Yes. So, our target is this program, this trouble.
Philip English – Right, so when you say waist, so is it the bending over, or is it a certain way that it’s lifted up? And does the exoskeleton give you extra strength? So, I can see that there’s, on some of the information, there’s pieces about giving you extra kilograms. So, is that extra kilograms of more strength? Is that how it works?
Shimei Ze – This muscle suits support 25 kilograms support. And if you went down your body, this support gives the power to 25.5 kilograms.
Philip English – Right. I see. So, it gives you an extra 25 kilograms. Okay, okay. So, the problem is, people with bad, bad, bad waist, so bad lower back, and the idea is that this gives you extra strength so you can pick up more obstacles. Is that work out?
Shimei Ze – If you wear this suit, you can’t, you can’t pick up, for example 100 kilograms back, just support.
Philip English – Oh, okay. So it’s basically a support. It’s a support. So, you mentioned there was an inventor? Like, what was his name? From Tokyo University of Science? There was an inventor who made the product?

This is a major part of Zennie62Media , Inc.’s new and innovative approach to the production of news media. What we call “The Third Wave of Media”. The uploaded video is from a YouTube channel. When the video is “liked” by Zennie62 YouTube, then it is automatically uploaded to and formatted automatically at the Oakland News Now site and Zennie62-created and owned social media pages. The overall objective here, on top of our is smartphone-enabled, real-time, on the scene reporting of news, interviews, observations, and happenings anywhere in the World and within seconds and not hours – is the use of the existing YouTube social graph on any subject in the World. Now, news is reported with a smartphone and also by promoting current content on YouTube: no heavy and expensive cameras or even a laptop are necessary, or having a camera crew to shoot what is already on YouTube. The secondary objective is faster, and very inexpensive media content news production and distribution. We have found there is a disconnect between post length and time to product and revenue generated. With this, the problem is far less, though by no means solved. Zennie62Media is constantly working to improve the system network coding and seeks interested content and media technology partners.
