Publication number: 20160331633Abstract: Methods and systems for dynamic compression of venous tissue enable improved blood movement in the extremities. In accordance with an exemplary embodiment, a pressure pad provides a compressive force to the venous plexus region of the foot. The pressure pad is successively withdrawn and re-pressed against the foot. Improved blood circulation may reduce the occurrence of undesirable complications such as deep vein thrombosis, ulcers, and the like.Type: ApplicationFiled: July 28, 2016Publication date: November 17, 2016Applicant: Avex, LLCInventors: Matthew J. Mayer, Peter E. Von Behrens, David M. Mayer, Gerhard B. Rill

Patent number: 9283139Abstract: Methods and systems for dynamic compression of venous tissue enable improved blood movement in the extremities. In accordance with an exemplary embodiment, a pressure pad provides a compressive force to a portion of the human body. The pressure pad is successively withdrawn and re-pressed against the body. In this manner, prevention and/or treatment of various medical conditions may be achieved, for example restless leg syndrome, edema, plantar fasciitis, deep vein thrombosis, pulmonary embolism, venous insufficiency, wound care, and/or the like.Type: GrantFiled: July 28, 2011Date of Patent: March 15, 2016Assignee: AVEX, LLCInventors: Matthew J.

Publication number: 20110214315Abstract: Methods and systems for aiding with dynamic compression of venous tissue enable improved blood movement, reducing edema, reducing leg cramping, treating plantar fasciitis in the extremities, and/or the like. In an exemplary embodiment, a therapy shoe entirely contains a therapy device which provides a compressive force to the venous plexus region of the foot. The system may assist blood circulation which may reduce the occurrence of undesirable complications such as deep vein thrombosis, ulcers, and the like.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 4, 2011Publication date: September 8, 2011Applicant: LEAP FROGG, LLCInventors: Matthew Mayer, David M.

Patent number: 5060880Abstract: Apparatus for automatically spooling output media from a printer including a web supply of recording medium, a generally circular baffle arrangement for directing the recording medium into a tubular form, a drive roller for bidirectionally driving the recording medium into an out of the generally circular baffle arrangement, and means for applying a tensioning force on the recording medium between the baffle arrangement and the drive roller. The tensioning force is substantially the same whether the recording medium is being driven into or being driven out of the baffle arrangment and the surface speed of the recording medium is determined by the drive roller.Type: GrantFiled: March 14, 1990Date of Patent: October 29, 1991Assignee: Xerox CorporationInventor: David M. Mayer

Patent number: 5037037Abstract: A catch tray for receiving individual spools of output recording media, having a nominal outer diameter, which are dropped therein and which is capable of maintaining and enhancing their tight tubular form. The tray comprises a pair of walls spaced from one another by a distance less than the nominal outer diameter, and the surfaces of the wall have different coefficients of friction so that said spools of output recording media roll between the walls.Type: GrantFiled: March 14, 1990Date of Patent: August 6, 1991Assignee: Xerox CorporationInventors: David M. Mayer, Thomas C. Fedyna

Patent number: 5011093Abstract: A media transport apparatus including a supply of recording medium, collecting means for the recording medium, a drive roller for moving the recording medium from the supply to the collecting means along a transport path, and a cutter for severing the recording medium into sections. The cutter is located between the drive roller and the collecting means and is moved in a direction substantially transverse to the direction of movement of the recording medium during severing. Deflectable fingers define a portion of the transport path in interference relationship with the cutter and are readily displaced by the cutter while continuing to provide a rigid guide for the recording medium.Type: GrantFiled: March 14, 1990Date of Patent: April 30, 1991Assignee: Xerox CorporationInventors: David M. Mayer, Jay J. Cisneroz
