Weber, David Auerbach
-
Patent number: 7056298Abstract: A thumb and wrist brace comprising, in combination, the brace having multiple elongated stiffeners with extents generally alongside the thumb, and strap means carried to wrap relative to the thumb and proximate the stiffener extents, whereby the main extent of the thumb is substantially immobilized by the stiffeners and strap means, at least one stiffener extending to a wrist zone of the brace.Type: GrantFiled: June 17, 2005Date of Patent: June 6, 2006Assignee: Weber Orthopedic Inc.Inventor: James J. Weber
-
Patent number: 6117098Abstract: In ankle brace apparatus, the combination comprises a foot and ankle holder having a foot portion, and having an upper ankle portion with opposite first and second sides; support strap structure operatively connected to a holder to extend under foot portion and then to extend generally upwardly and rearwardly for retention to those opposite sides at retention zones; and retention flaps connected to the holder and extending forwardly to overlap support strap structure at retention zones, the retention flaps spaced apart to provide freely adjustable and conforming cushioning at the rear of the holder.Type: GrantFiled: March 22, 1999Date of Patent: September 12, 2000Assignee: Weber Orthopedic, Inc.Inventors: James J. Weber, John P. Hely

Patent number: 4946884Abstract: Compositions useful in decomposition molding procedures such as destructive foam casting or ceramic or metallic powder sintering are provided by blends of polymers having greater than 50 weight percent propylene carbonate units and polymers having greater than 50 weight percent methyl methacrylate units. Such blends exhibit an unexpectedly even decomposition profile over the range of temperatures at which their constituent polymers each decompose relatively rapidly. The controlled decomposition rate reduces problems in destructive foam casting and ceramic or metallic powder molding caused by sudden release of gases by the foam pattern or the polymer binder. Preferred blends contain 35 to 65 weight percent poly(methyl methacrylate) and 65 to 35 weight percent poly(propylene carbonate), and very even decomposition behavior is exhibited by blends of 35 to 45 weight percent poly(methyl methacrylate) and 65 to 55 weight percent poly(propylene carbonate).Type: GrantFiled: June 12, 1989Date of Patent: August 7, 1990Assignee: Air Products and Chemicals, Inc.Inventors: Jeffrey A. Kuphal, Lloyd M. Robeson, James J. Weber

Patent number: 4882110Abstract: The present invention relates to a binder and a method for making and shaping a green body of ceramic powder and subsequently producing a formed ceramic body. The method of the present invention comprises admixing a ceramic powder with a binder comprising a polyalkylene carbonate to form a ceramic-binder mixture. The binder of the present invention comprises a polyalkylene carbonate, preferably polyethylene carbonate or polypropylene carbonate.Type: GrantFiled: January 27, 1987Date of Patent: November 21, 1989Assignee: Air Products and Chemicals, Inc.Inventors: Daniel P. Kramer, Joseph G. Santangelo, James J. Weber

Patent number: 4665136Abstract: The present invention is a novel class of block copolymers and a process of making the same. An alkylene oxide is reacted with CO.sub.2 in an organic solvent in the presence of an organometallic catalyst to form a polyalkylene carbonate. A second alkylene oxide is subsequently added without the addition of catalyst. The resulting product is a block copolymer comprising distinct, covalently linked, alkylene carbonate blocks.Type: GrantFiled: April 7, 1986Date of Patent: May 12, 1987Assignee: Air Products and Chemicals, Inc.Inventors: Joseph G. Santangelo, James J. Weber, Richard G. Sinclair

Patent number: 4633929Abstract: Metal castings having reduced residual carbon ash and surface flaws are produced by an evaporative pattern casting process, in which an organic foam pattern is vaporized upon contact with a molten metal leaving a metal replica of the pattern. The organic foam used in this process comprises a polymer formed by polymerizing CO.sub.2 with one or more oxirane compounds.Type: GrantFiled: October 16, 1985Date of Patent: January 6, 1987Assignee: Air Products and Chemicals, Inc.Inventors: Joseph G.
