Abstract: A compression foot garment is integrally knit of a body yarn, and adapted for wear on a foot of a user. The foot garment incorporates first and second high compression zones, and a compression release zone between the high compression zones. The first high compression zone is adapted for applying substantially circumferential compression to the foot below the plantar fascia between the calcaneus and metatarso-phalangeal joints and generally around the midfoot. The second high compression zone is adapted for applying substantially circumferential compression to the foot above the calcaneus and generally around an ankle of the user. The first and second high compression zones may comprise elastic yarns integrated with the body yarn. The compression release zone is adapted for applying reduced compression to the foot in an area between the first and second high compression zones.

Abstract: An optical subassembly, optical or optoelectronic receivers and transceivers including the same, and methods of making and using the same are disclosed. The optical subassembly includes a mirror configured to reflect an incoming optical signal at a first predetermined angle, a lens configured to receive the incoming optical signal from the mirror and focus the incoming optical signal onto a target, and an optical mount comprising at least one first surface configured to support the mirror, at least one second surface configured to support and/or secure the lens at a second predetermined angle, and a structural block configured to position and/or arrange (i) the at least one first surface at a third predetermined angle related to the first predetermined angle and (ii) the at least one second surface at the first and/or second predetermined angle.
