Patent number: 12232889Abstract: A mouth guard senses impact forces and determines if the forces exceed an impact threshold. If so, the mouth guard notifies the user of the risk for injury by haptic feedback, vibratory feedback, and/or audible feedback. The mouth guard system may also remotely communicate the status of risk and the potential injury. The mouth guard uses a local memory device to store impact thresholds based on personal biometric information obtained from the user and compares the sensed forces relative to those threshold values. The mouth guard and its electrical components on the printed circuit board are custom manufactured for the user such that the mouth guard provides a comfortable and reliable fit, while ensuring exceptional performance.Type: GrantFiled: October 31, 2022Date of Patent: February 25, 2025Assignee: Force Impact Technologies, Inc.Inventors: Anthony M. Gonzales, Robert M. Merriman, Susan M. Merriman, Christopher T. Cooper

Patent number: 8387548Abstract: An anti-puncture, water-leak-inhibiting, self-sealing, coating structure for application selectively to inside and/or outside portions of a boat hull. The coating structure, in operative condition with respect to such a hull portion, includes a body of continuous-phase, non-water-reactive, high-elastomeric-material, and, embedded within that body, in an initially shrouded and non-exposed condition guarded nominally against any contact with external water, a distribution of water-reactive, water-imbiber beads.Type: GrantFiled: March 11, 2009Date of Patent: March 5, 2013Assignee: High Impact Technology, Inc.Inventors: Thomas S.

Patent number: 8389063Abstract: A method for spray-creating a composite-material layer on the outside surface of a liquid container to defeat liquid leakage following a projectile penetration of the container. The method includes (a) defining a by-weight percentage blend of two penetration-reaction materials, where the contribution of one such material, an initially liquid and wet-sprayable, but subsequently curable-to-dry, high-elastomeric body-forming material, is larger than that of the other material, which takes the form of a population of dry, liquid-imbibing bead elements, (b) creating weight-percentage-differentiated, simultaneous sprays of these two materials for contact-blending, during spraying, into a composite spray en route in the air toward the region of a target liquid container, and (c) as a part of such creating, controlling the amount of en route, inter-material, contact blend time between the two materials.Type: GrantFiled: February 25, 2009Date of Patent: March 5, 2013Assignee: High Impact Technology, Inc.Inventors: Thomas S.

Patent number: 7302557Abstract: A processor method and apparatus that allows for the overlapped execution of multiple iterations of a loop while allowing the compiler to include only a single copy of the loop body in the code while automatically managing which iterations are active. Since the prologue and epilogue are implicitly created and maintained within the hardware in the invention, a significant reduction in code size can be achieved compared to software-only modulo scheduling. Furthermore, loops with iteration counts less than the number of concurrent iterations present in the kernel are also automatically handled. This hardware enhanced scheme achieves the same performance as the fully-specified standard method. Furthermore, the hardware reduces the power requirement as the entire fetch unit can be deactivated for a portion of the loop's execution.Type: GrantFiled: December 1, 2000Date of Patent: November 27, 2007Assignee: Impact Technologies, Inc.Inventors: Wen-mei W. Hwu, Matthew C. Merten
