Abstract: A mounting bracket for a prosthetic foot configured to attach to a residual limb, comprising an upper member, a lower member and compression torsion joint. The upper member comprises an upper flange, a mating post, and mounting portion configured to attach to the residual limb. The lower member comprises a mating portion, a lower flange, and a mounting portion configured to attach to the prosthetic foot. The compression torsion joint couples the upper member to the lower member and is configured to limit the vertical movement and torsional movement of the upper member with respect to the lower member.

Abstract: A prosthetic foot comprises a ground engaging bottom resilient member, a resilient heel member, and a resilient toe member that collectively circumscribe an open volumetric space. The members resilient compress to absorb compressive force throughout the entire stride of an individual utilizing the foot. The prosthetic foot stores energy during a heel strike phase of a gait cycle, and releases energy during a toe-off phase of the gait cycle in order to assist forward movement of a user. During the gait cycle, a loading response during the heel strike phase compresses the heel member and the toe member, and causes a deflection of the rear portion of the bottom member. Furthermore, an upward deflection of at least one of the bottom member and the toe member stores energy during the transition from the heel strike phase to the toe-off phase of the gait cycle.

Abstract: A trim tab assembly for a helicopter rotor blade includes a plurality of metal panels that are secured to the trailing edge of a composite material helicopter blade. Each of the metal panels can be bent relative to the rotor blade to tune the aerodynamic properties of the rotor blade.

Abstract: A collapsible and retractable bed structure having design features which permits the bed structure to be folded or collapsed in a manner so as to allow the device to be incorporated into the limited space created between the rafters of a steeply sloping roofline and an interior wall, such as a knee wall, of a home or other building structure. The invention can be used to transform previously unusable or wasted space within a home or other building structure into fully functional living quarters.
