Abstract: A method, device and system for limiting mobile device functionality in a geographic area. When a mobile device is located within a predetermined geographic area, the mobile device receives a disabling signal from a disabling device. A Device Owner Application on the mobile device responds to the disabling signal, restricting functionality of the mobile device. Such restrictions may include restricting the mobile device's ability to send and receive text messages and email messages; restricting the mobile device's ability to respond to user input; restricting the mobile device's ability to place and receive phone calls; restricting the mobile device's ability to place and receive phone calls requiring user interaction with the mobile device; restricting the mobile device's ability to utilize a web browser application; restricting the mobile device's web browser from accessing predetermined web sites; and any other predetermined restriction of mobile device functionality as may be desired.

Abstract: A compressible liner for a helmet or other apparatus subject to shock loading comprises three substantially co-extensive layers mutually engaged by respective cone-like protuberances and cone-like recesses. The intermediate layer is of a different compressibility and provides for de-coupling of the layers in an oblique impact.

Abstract: An accessory for use with a portable container includes a jacket configured to extend around at least a portion of the sidewall of the container, the jacket including a plurality of modular sections formed separately and connected together around the at least a portion of the sidewall of the container. The modular sections include a first modular section having extending around a first portion of the sidewall of the container, a second modular section connected to the first modular section and extending around a second portion of the sidewall of the container, and at least one additional modular section extending around a third portion of the sidewall of the container. The first and second modular sections have different structural configurations. The accessory also includes a first connection member connected to the jacket and configured to support the jacket in connection with the container.

Abstract: A method and system for limiting mobile device functionality when the mobile device is located in a pre-defined fixed geographic area. The mobile device may receive a local disabling signal from a disabling device, which, when detected by a Device Owner Application resident on the mobile device, limits the mobile device functionality. Alternatively, the system may use GPS based geofencing to determine that the mobile device is in a predefined geographic area, and then transmit instructions to the mobile device, where a Device Owner Application operates to restrict the mobile device functionality. Mobile device functionality may be limited by restricting the mobile device's ability to send and receive text messages, email messages and phone calls; restricting the mobile device's ability to respond to user input; restricting the mobile device's ability to utilize a web browser; and restricting the mobile device's web browser from accessing predetermined web sites.

Abstract: A body part protector includes an inner layer defining an interior space that is configured to be occupied by a human body part, an outer layer connected to the inner layer and forming at least one chamber therebetween, and a plurality of separate dampers. A damper is at least partially disposed in the chamber. Each damper extends into the interior space along a respective longitudinal axis. Each damper has an outer end disposed at a fixed position relative to the outer layer and an inner end disposed longitudinally opposite the outer end in the interior space. The protector includes a plurality of separate engagement members corresponding to the plurality of dampers. Each engagement member is disposed at the inner end of the corresponding damper and is configured to engage the body part of the user. Each damper includes a plurality of compressible damper elements concentrically arranged about the longitudinal axis.

Abstract: An automated method for generating digital specifications for the manufacture of a custom joint orthosis from a 3D model or scan. A 3D model or scan of a body or body part can be captured using a scanning device that generates a 3D point-cloud data set. A reference point is selected as an origin that measures the distance between it and critical points, either by the user or automatically through machine learning applications of feature identification. Additional biometric data, medical information, or user preference information may be incorporated to generate digital specifications for the manufacture of a supportive brace or an orthotic device. A use of the invention for medical diagnostic applications is also described.
