Publication number: 20240049827Abstract: Protective clothing and/or equipment may comprise a modular helmet assembly which comprises a plurality of impact mitigation modules positioned between an outer layer and an interior layer of the helmet, optionally with a plurality of perforations or openings in an outer shell of the helmet. The plurality of impact mitigation assemblies may comprise an impact absorbing array of impact mitigation structures having at least one filament and a lateral support wall or connecting element. When force is applied to the exterior surface, the structures of the impact absorbing materials deform in a desired and controlled manner, reducing the force received by the interior layer.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 15, 2023Publication date: February 15, 2024Inventors: Jason Neubauer, Noah Lanphear, Travis E. Glover, Dave Marver, Cord Santiago, Kayla Fukuda, Andre H.P. Stone, Adam Kollgaard, Kurt Fischer, Marie Pahlmeyer, Rich Curren, Miguel Herrera, John Cagle

Publication number: 20240012256Abstract: A head-mounted display device includes a device housing and a fan coupled to the device housing and configured to direct airflow within the device housing. The fan includes a fan housing, a motor hub, and a fan blade coupled to the motor hub. The fan blade has a first cross-section adjacent to the motor hub, a second cross-section outward of and adjacent to the first cross-section, and the first cross-section is smaller than the second cross-section such that an applied force to the device housing causes the fan blade to transition from an operable configuration to an inoperable configuration by deformation of the fan blade at the first cross-section.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 14, 2023Publication date: January 11, 2024Inventors: Paul X. Wang, John Cagle

Publication number: 20150359644Abstract: The present invention generally relates to prosthetic socket accommodation systems. In some embodiments a prosthetic socket accommodation system may be configured to automatically adjust the accommodation system in response to user activities. In some embodiments, a controller of the prosthetic socket accommodation system may be customized for a prosthetics user based on an activity volume profile of the prosthetics user. The activity volume profile may correspond to a residual limb fluid volume response to prosthetics user activity. In some embodiments, a controller of a socket accommodation system may be configured to control pistoning during prosthetic socket use. Some embodiments are related to sensors for identifying prosthetics user activity. In some embodiments a three-axis sensor may be used to identify prosthetics user activity. In some embodiments a socket proximity sensor comprising an infrared sensor may be used to detect socket donning and doffing by the prosthetics user.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 21, 2015Publication date: December 17, 2015Inventors: Joan E.
