Publication number: 20240091043Abstract: The present application provides a footwear for postoperative protection and rehabilitation. The protective footwear specifically structurally includes: a footwear body; an air bag system, provided at a position of the footwear body corresponding to a human metatarsal region; and a fixing frame, provided at the position of the footwear body corresponding to the human metatarsal region, wrapping a compressed air bag, and comprising a flat plate and two arc-shaped plates extending upward and inward from two sides of the flat plate; where, when a human foot is squeezed by gravity, air in a bottom air reservoir is squeezed into side-flap air reservoirs, such that the side-flap air reservoirs are inflated; and restricted by the fixing frame, the side-flap air reservoirs generate an inward pressure to the metatarsal region to reduce a tensile stress generated between metatarsals when the human foot moves.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 27, 2023Publication date: March 21, 2024Inventors: Daniel Yiang WU, Ming GE, Kit Sum Samantha CHAN, Ho Nam Ernest YIM

Patent number: 10956306Abstract: A method for debugging a streaming application is provided. The method may include establishing, by a processor, a debug region in the streaming application to mark a subgraph for debugging. The method may further include receiving a tuple flow suspension notification from a job control plane. The method may also include displaying a plurality of debugging options for debugging a streaming application on a graphical user interface based on the received tuple flow suspension notification. The method may further include determining a debugging option from the displayed plurality of debugging options based on a user selection on the graphical user interface. The method may also include translating the determined debugging option into a format compatible with the job control plane. The method may further include transmitting the translated debugging option to the job control plane.Type: GrantFiled: January 5, 2020Date of Patent: March 23, 2021Assignee: International Business Machines CorporationInventors: James E.
