  • Patent number: 7058439
    Abstract: A breast prosthesis may be formed by forming an outer layer on a mold, and filling the mold with a polymerizable foaming composition. The mold may be formed by forming a computer model of the prosthesis based on scanning a patient. The computer model may be used to form a solid model. A prosthesis may be coupled to the patient by coupling at least one metallic insert to the prosthesis and at least one magnet to the patient. Alternately, the prosthesis may be formed with a retaining harness integral to the prosthesis. In still another method, the prosthesis may be coupled to a retaining device surgically implanted in the patient.
    Type: Grant

  • Publication number: 20010045323
    Abstract: A fire escape mechanism that utilizes a web configuration of heat tolerant, low heat conductive, light weight, and high strength material that is extended along the height of a multi-story building such that individuals in the building an escape from a fire in the building by exiting the building directly onto the fire escape web and lower themselves to safety by climbing down its length.
