Publication number: 20130024009Abstract: A prosthetic interface includes an orientation assembly, a mounting plate and a load bearing assembly. The orientation assembly includes an anterior frame portion and a posterior frame portion. The anterior frame portion extends over an anterior portion of a torso of a wearer of the prosthetic interface. The posterior frame portion extends over a posterior portion of the torso. The mounting plate is disposed at an intersection of the posterior frame portion and the anterior frame portion. The mounting plate forms a structure to which a prosthetic limb is attachable. The load bearing assembly includes breathable fabric forming a load distribution matrix to distribute a load on the mounting plate over portions of the torso with which the fabric is in contact.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 14, 2012Publication date: January 24, 2013Applicant: The Johns Hopkins UniversityInventors: Jay Martin, Paul Biermann

Patent number: 8303670Abstract: A vacuum pump system for a prosthesis includes an enhanced suspension mechanism and incorporates a vacuum pump system, an adaptor assembly, circuitry, and a power source. A virtually air-tight seal between a residual limb and a socket of the prosthesis allows a vacuum fit to be generated by the pump system. The pump system may be controlled with various circuits and processors receiving instructions from a software program. The pump system may be located within a pylon, but yet remain vibrationally and acoustically de-coupled from the pylon.Type: GrantFiled: November 1, 2010Date of Patent: November 6, 2012Assignee: OrthoCare Innovations, LLCInventors: James Jay Martin, Tyler Butel, Michael Markmiller, Matt Kozlowski, David Boone

Publication number: 20120270642Abstract: A gaming machine award system acts over a gaming machine network having a plurality of gaming devices coupled thereto. The award system includes a bonus server coupled to the network and having stored thereon a trigger condition. A game play tracker tracks game play across the network of gaming devices and detects an occurrence of the trigger condition. The bonus server sends out a selection signal over the network to a selected gaming machine responsive to the detected trigger condition. A printer associated with the selected gaming machine is structured to generate a mystery ticket printed output responsive to receipt of said selection signal including machine-readable indicia corresponding to a record of value stored at the bonus server, and human readable indicia that indicates only a range of possible values of the ticket but not a specific value.Type: ApplicationFiled: July 5, 2012Publication date: October 25, 2012Applicant: IGT, A NEVADA CORPORATIONInventors: Vincent Salvatore Manfredi, Jay Martin Roper

Patent number: 7752634Abstract: A method and apparatus to employ a service proxy to personalize service messages by automatically supplying the interface parameters used for communications between a Service provider and its client businesses. The service proxy does this according to context parameters that the client businesses specify during configuration of the messages used to communicate with one or more services. For simpler administration, the context variables may be organized in multiple kinds of hierarchies by which communications parameters specified at a higher level are automatically applied to categories at a lower level, although parameters specified directly for a lower-level category will override parameters from a higher category.Type: GrantFiled: April 30, 2005Date of Patent: July 6, 2010Assignee: International Business Machines CorporationInventors: Manoj Saxena, Michael Perham, Chaitanya Laxminarayan, Matthew Sanchez, Jay Martin Tenenbaum, Keith Yarbrough
