  • Publication number: 20200037691
    Abstract: A cushion, using magnetic friction as base protection is specifically tested and designed for use in helmets to minimize the risk of concussions. The cushion can be used in a two layer helmet where the magnets are used to repel the impact normally taken straight to the head. The magnets can be placed in between the layers to not only take the impact, but also give that force back towards the source, creating a cushion like no other helmet. With this two-layer system, one can measure that the first layer of magnets takes the hit and uses the second layer to push back off of. This movement that the helmet takes significantly improves protection of the brain as compared to conventional helmets.

  • Publication number: 20200037695
    Abstract: A footwear device is provided having a deformable heel contact member. The heel contact member extends above a top portion of the footwear's sole and deforms into a cavity formed in the sole when the user's heel applies a force against the heel contact member. The heel contact member is resilient and returns to its original shape when the force against the heel contact member is eliminated. The heel contact member is particularly well suited to reduce heel slap of open heeled footwear.
