  • Cooling System and Method For A Prosthetic Socket
    Publication number: 20220273488
    Abstract: A prosthetic socket cooling system and method includes a thermally conductive heat spreader including a curved shaped portion configured to maximize contact with a residual limb of a user. A heat extraction subsystem is coupled through a wall of the prosthetic socket and to the thermally conductive heat spreader and is configured to maintain a desired temperature inside the prosthetic socket.

  • COOLING SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR A PROSTHETIC SOCKET
    Publication number: 20170325975
    Abstract: A prosthetic socket cooling system and method includes a strap for coupling about a limb fitted with a prosthetic socket. One or more thermally conductive heat spreaders are associated with the strap and may be at least partially seated underneath the prosthetic socket. A heat extraction subsystem is coupled to at least one of the lengthy heat spreaders and carried by the strap. In one version, heat spreaders may form sections of the strap.

  • Injection molding fastener products
    Patent number: 6059558
    Abstract: Injection molding fastener element products employing a series of laterally moveable mold plates that define, in part, mold cavities for fastener elements. The laterally moveable mold plates move into open spaces provided by mold plates that retract or project in a direction normal to the base of the fastener product. This at least partially opens the fastener cavities to release the fastener elements.
