Patent number: 10646368Abstract: A compliance assembly includes a compliance strap arranged to engage and extend around the exterior of an orthopedic device, and a compliance clasp attached to the compliance strap. The compliance clasp includes a base member, a door member, and a locking system. The door member is pivotally connected to the base member and is movable between an open position and a closed position in which the door member is rotated toward the base member and locks the compliance strap between the base and door members. The locking system is arranged to irreversibly lock the door member in the closed position.Type: GrantFiled: August 1, 2017Date of Patent: May 12, 2020Assignee: OSSUR HFInventors: Jonathan Walborn, Gil David Manalo, Katy Farr, Zachariah J. Klutts, Adam Dunn, Chris Webster

Patent number: 10156417Abstract: A composite string such as a bowstring or cable used in archery bows and crossbows includes multiple types of strands or multiple types of materials in its strands. The different materials or strands have different properties such as stiffness, strength, abrasion resistance, or density. The string therefore has specialized properties such as different properties when subjected to different tensile loads or optimized durability. A serving material is also used to bind strands of material to the string for silencing, vibration dampening, improving durability, or providing additional rigidity to select portions of the string.Type: GrantFiled: July 12, 2017Date of Patent: December 18, 2018Assignee: Hoyt Archery, Inc.Inventors: Gideon S. Jolley, Chris Webster

Patent number: 9744065Abstract: An orthopedic device includes a base shell having ankle and foot receiving portions. The base shell forms an opening over a dorsal aspect of the base shell. A dorsal shell is contoured to generally correspond to the opening in the base shell. The dorsal shell includes a proximal member connected to distal member via a flexible or resilient connecting portion arranged to accommodate a portion of a user's lower leg or ankle. A first flexible edge portion is attached to a distal terminal end of the distal member. The first flexible edge portion is arranged to bend or flex relative to the distal member so as to reduce the likelihood of pressure points on the user's toes from the distal member.Type: GrantFiled: September 25, 2014Date of Patent: August 29, 2017Assignee: OSSUR HFInventors: Jonathan Walborn, Gil David Manalo, Katy Farr, Zachariah J. Klutts, Adam Dunn, Chris Webster

Patent number: 9539135Abstract: An orthopedic device and method for using the same are provided for applying a dynamic load on a leg of a user. The orthopedic device has a rigid or semi-rigid frame including lower and upper frames, and a hinge assembly connecting the lower and upper frames. A dynamic loading component is used to urge the load on the user's leg on the basis of flexion of the hinge assembly on the basis of tension in an elongate element connecting the dynamic loading component and at least one of the lower and upper frames. A peak load is generated at a flexion angle between extension and flexion of the hinge assembly.Type: GrantFiled: July 17, 2014Date of Patent: January 10, 2017Assignee: OSSUR HFInventors: Harry Duane Romo, Jane Lee, Chris Webster, Jared Olivo, Henry Hsu

Publication number: 20100042875Abstract: Mechanisms and methods for capturing an execution state of a failing program in a computing environment are disclosed. Embodiments can enable detection of user initiated program terminations and error information capture without incurring the overhead of a separate monitoring process. It is possible to obtain an execution trace and related state information in the event that a program has incurred a program error causing the user to terminate the program.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 19, 2009Publication date: February 18, 2010Applicant: SUN MICROSYSTEMS, INC.Inventors: Jesse Grodnik, Cliff W. Draper, Chris Webster, Venkatesar Amirisetty
