Abstract: The present disclosure relates to a message notification method of an online messenger, and a computing device using the same. The message notification method of the online messenger according to an embodiment of the present disclosure includes determining, when a new message is received, the importance of the new message based on keywords included in the new message; identifying a user status configured within the online messenger; and controlling a notification display indicating reception of the new message based on the importance of the new message and the user status.

Abstract: The disclosure relates to a method for synchronizing messages between a plurality of messenger client devices, and a messenger client device using the same, and the method for synchronizing messages between a plurality of messenger client devices to which a user account is shared according to an embodiment of the disclosure may include: accessing a pre-configured public repository and downloading public data including a previous chat list shared between the plurality of messenger client devices by a messenger client device; and generating merged data by merging the public data and local data including a previous chat list stored in a local repository of the messenger client device by the messenger client device.

Abstract: Systems and methods can use subscription and identity authentication management to remove paywalls from websites. Login information for access to an application can be received from a user. The application can verify that the login information is associated with a subscriber account associated with a subscriber to the application. Instructions can be received to access a provider site from the user through the application. The application can determine that the provider site is associated with the subscriber account and the user; and then determine access credentials to the provider site based on a predetermined access scheme associated with the provider site. The access credentials can be injected into a paywall associated with the provider site.

Abstract: 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.

Abstract: A coupling device for an orthopedic brace includes an anchoring member for securing to a frame and protruding therefrom, and a subshell arranged to connect to the frame by the anchoring member. The subshell has a locking element for selectively positioning the subshell on the frame at a plurality of locations. The subshell may include an end portion or contoured edge extending beyond a portion of the frame so as to flex relative to the frame.

Abstract: An orthopedic device has at least one flexible or rigid frame member contoured to generally correspond to an anatomical limb. The device also includes a tightening system having a dial tensioning device and at least one cable and/or strap connected to the dial tensioning device. The dial tensioning device has a rotary ratchet permitting incremental adjustment of the cable and/or strap. Adjustment of the dial tensioner in a first direction secures the frame member to the limb.

Abstract: A compartmentalization assembly is provided. The compartmentalization assembly includes a base having a surface with shaft seats and at least one separator including a panel and one or more shafts, each of the shafts can each be fittingly received into one of the shaft seats.

Abstract: A dynamic tension system connects to an orthopedic device having a frame and a hinge connected to the frame. The dynamic tension system includes a cable, an adjustment mechanism connected to the cable and arranged to incrementally wind or release the cable, and a tension control device connected to the adjustment mechanism and arranged to limit the adjustment mechanism from winding of the cable past a predetermined tension level.

Abstract: An orthopedic device includes a posterior shell with ankle and foot receiving portions. The foot receiving portion defines a plantar shell portion and side shell portions extending along first and second sides of the plantar shell portion and forming an open-ended toe portion. A toe protector portion is removably attached to the posterior shell at the open-ended toe portion and arranged to protect the toes of the user. The toe protector portion extends between the side shell portions and longitudinally along a length of the side shell portions. At least one inflatable bladder is disposed in at least the ankle receiving portions and at least one pump assembly is in fluid communication with the at least one inflatable bladder.

Abstract: A strap tab assembly has a strap tab defining a substantially square-shaped locking hole located generally at a first end, and an elongated slot on a second end. The strap tab assembly includes a top cap defining a top cover, a square-shaped locking projection corresponding in shape to the locking hole, and a female portion forming a center channel and extending beyond and concentric with the locking projection. A bottom cap has a male portion adapted for being received in the center channel of the female portion to engage the top cap. The locking projection extends beyond the periphery of the female portion, and is configured and dimensioned to correspond to and engage an inner periphery of the locking hole.

Abstract: An orthopedic device in the form of a circumferential walker includes a first member (posterior shell) and a second member (dorsal shell) corresponding to the first member. An outsole or plantar shell portion is attached to, or formed on or with the posterior shell. A hinge mechanism is provided between the posterior and dorsal shells to allow the dorsal shell to be swung away from the posterior shell in order to accommodate an anatomical limb therein. Inflatable bladders having perspiration wicking channels and/or openings are provided within a liner for insertion between the posterior and dorsal shells. Quick-connecting buckle and retaining assemblies can be provided to allow a user to quickly don and doff the orthopedic device.
