Publication number: 20170002602Abstract: A Vacuum Insulating Glazing Unit (VIGU) comprises two or more glass lites (panes) spaced apart from one another and hermetically bonded to an edge seal assembly therebetween. The resulting cavity between the lites is evacuated to create at least one insulating vacuum cavity within which are disposed a plurality of stand-off members to maintain separation between the lites. The edge seal assembly is preferably compliant in the longitudinal (i.e., edgewise) direction to allow longitudinal relative motion between the two lites (e.g., from thermal expansion). The longitudinal compliance may be obtained by imprinting a three-dimensional pattern into the edge seal material. The edge seal assembly is preferably bonded to the lites with a first bond portion that is hermetic and a second bond portion that is load-resistant. Methods for producing VIGUs and/or compliant edge seal assemblies and VIGU and edge seal apparatus are disclosed.Type: ApplicationFiled: April 28, 2016Publication date: January 5, 2017Applicant: EVERSEALED WINDOWS, INC.Inventors: WILLIAM H. FRANCIS, IV, GREGG E. FREEBURY, NEAL J. BEIDLEMAN, MICHAEL HULSE

Patent number: 9528264Abstract: Collapsible support structures and methods of making collapsible support structures which interconvert between a deployed condition and a collapsed planate condition which allows extensible retractable deployment of the collapsed structure from a reduced volume rolled condition.Type: GrantFiled: February 14, 2014Date of Patent: December 27, 2016Assignee: TENDEG LLCInventors: Gregg E. Freebury, William H. Francis

Publication number: 20140360033Abstract: An apparatus comprised of a plurality of engagement structures independently movable along a longitudinal axis to initially engage a mid-foot region of a foot is described. A center structure or a first set of engagement structures engage the foot in a mid-foot region, and one or more peripheral engagement structures engage the plantar surface in regions surrounding the mid-foot region independent from the structure(s) engaging the mid-foot region. Positional information about the engagement structures is obtained, and a surface map from the positional information is constructed, to determine a profile or contour for an orthotic device in which the foot is in a restored bone state.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 16, 2014Publication date: December 11, 2014Inventors: J. Kevin Miller, Neal J. Beidleman, Neville A. Bonwit, Luke Clauson, Kenneth J. den Dulk, Gregg E. Freebury, Matthew B. Newell

Patent number: 8596145Abstract: Disclosed are methods and systems for design of a foot orthotic, and a foot orthotic device designed in accord therewith. More specifically described is an individualized foot orthotic device to correct and/or restore the ideal alignment and/or positioning of foot structures. In the method, sequential pressure is applied to regions on a plantar foot surface, and positional information is obtained about each region. Based on the positional information, an orthotic profile is determined, for design of one or more custom, individualized foot orthotic devices for a subject.Type: GrantFiled: March 11, 2011Date of Patent: December 3, 2013Assignee: Tensegrity Technologies, Inc.Inventors: J. Kevin Miller, Neal J. Beidleman, Michael A. Boennighausen, Michael S. Latterman, Gregg E. Freebury, Sue Ann Latterman, Huafeng Wen
