  • Patent number: 11074112
    Abstract: Systems, methods, and software are disclosed herein for maintain the responsiveness of a user interface to an application. In an implementation, a synchronous operation is commenced on a main thread of an application. The application monitors for a request by an additional thread to interrupt the synchronous operation in favor of an asynchronous operation. The synchronous operation is canceled in response to the request and is retried after completing the asynchronous operation.

  • Patent number: 5762621
    Abstract: The glove and associated structures provide both healing and support pressure on the user's tendons. When properly used, the integrated glove and associated structures will significantly aid in the support and healing of the hands, wrists and fingers of users. Not only will passive use of the tendon support structures help heal and soothe damaged tendons, but they will also help the user perform work tasks. In a first embodiment, an integrated glove provides finger and upper wrist support portion, along with a lower wrist band attached to the upper wrist support portion. In a second embodiment, a band system includes finger bands, a palm band, an upper wrist band and a lower wrist band which is used without interconnecting fabric, and the components of which may be used independently as needed. A third embodiment has a wrist band having palm band and wrist band portions.
