  • Publication number: 20230414395
    Abstract: An energy storing brace to be worn on a limb of a user may include a primary frame and a secondary frame pivotally connected to the primary frame. An energy storage assembly may include a spring member that is spaced apart from the first hinge and the second hinge. A first energized cord path may extend from the first hinge to the energy storage assembly. A tensioning cord may extend from a first anchor section secured relative to the first primary arm, across a first peripheral surface and through the first energized cord path to the spring member. Pivoting the brace from an extended position toward a flexed position may cause (i) the first extension member to exert a tension force on the first cord segment thereby loading the spring member and the spring member applies a restorative spring force to urge the brace to return to the extended position.

  • Publication number: 20230311746
    Abstract: A reflector unit may behave as a retroreflector to reflect light of a selected color. The reflector unit may comprise a first reflector having a first color, a second reflector having a second color, and a mask that either allows incoming light to reach the first reflector and not the second reflector or allows incoming light to reach the second reflector and not the first reflector. An active light unit may emit light of a particular color in response to receiving light. In this fashion, the active light unit may simulate the operation of a reflector. The reflector unit and the active light unit may operate on a bi-directional vehicle.

  • Publication number: 20230301820
    Abstract: A menses collecting apparatus includes a basin and a closure. The basin may transition between a collapsed or folded state prior to insertion by a user and an expanded or unfolded state after insertion by the user. The menses collecting apparatus may be collapsible/closed radially prior to insertion by the user, and may collect menses in the expanded state after insertion by the user. The closure may also transition between an open configuration and a closed configuration. The closure may be collapsible/folded when transitioning between the open configuration and the closed configuration. When the basin is in the expanded state, the closure may also be in an open configuration or the closed configuration. The menses collecting apparatus may employ a tension-based mechanism to transition between the different basin states and closure configurations. The menses collecting apparatus may be configurable to fit within an applicator to assist in the insertion of the menses collecting apparatus.
