Patent number: 11789843Abstract: A method of detecting an event and recording quantitative parameters associated with the event is provided. The method includes securing an event detection and recording system on a piece of equipment, the event detection and recording system comprising a plurality of sensors, an internal power source, and a microcontroller. The method further includes activating a low monitoring mode and measuring one or more quantitative parameters with the one or more of the sensors at a first sampling rate to generate low monitoring mode sensor data; analyzing the low monitoring mode sensor data to detect initiation of a triggering event; terminating the low monitoring mode upon detection of the triggering event; and activating a high monitoring mode including measuring and recording one or more quantitative parameters at a second sampling rate, where the second sampling rate is greater than the first sampling rate. The associated system is also provided.Type: GrantFiled: July 1, 2020Date of Patent: October 17, 2023Assignee: Cornerstone Research Group, Inc.Inventors: Mark Cridge, Trang T. Young, Matthew Benefiel, Mitchell Bauer, Gianfranco Trovato, Kristin M. Cable

Patent number: 11554057Abstract: Mattresses for human stabilization may include a mass of foam material. A cover including a fabric material may at least partially surrounding the mass of foam material. Head blocks including a foam material may be located proximate to one end of the mattress. The fabric material of the cover may at least partially cover the head blocks, and the head blocks may be foldable relative to the mass of foam material to enable the head blocks to be positioned against lateral sides of a person's head. Human stabilization platforms may include a litter having a surface sized and shaped to support a person thereabove. Straps may be configured to restrain a person's head, the straps having releasable connectors at ends thereof. A track may be located on the surface of the litter, and may be configured to receive the connectors to affix the straps to the litter.Type: GrantFiled: May 13, 2020Date of Patent: January 17, 2023Assignee: Cornerstone Research Group, Inc.Inventors: Kristin M.

Patent number: 11440851Abstract: Methods of producing a carbon matrix composite are provided which include preparing a carbon matrix composite precursor comprising at least one carbon-based reinforcement material and a cured thermoset polymer matrix comprising a chemical composition in accordance with Formula I where n and m are integers, at least one of R1 or R2 comprises an aromatic moiety, and X is selected from the group consisting of CH2, NH, O, S, SO2, and combinations thereof. The methods further include heating the carbon matrix composite precursor in air to a first processing temperature of between 300° C. and 500° C. to form a carbon matrix composite intermediate, and heating the carbon matrix composite intermediate in nitrogen to a second processing temperature of between 900° C. to 1650° C. and holding at the second processing temperature for at least 1 hour in an inert gas environment to form the carbon matrix composite.Type: GrantFiled: February 14, 2019Date of Patent: September 13, 2022Assignee: Systima Technologies, Inc.Inventors: Richard D.

Patent number: 11259580Abstract: A health monitoring garment is provided. The health monitoring garment includes an article of clothing comprising at least one compression section to provide a snug fit against a person wearing the article of clothing and a sensor island. The sensor island includes stretchable circuitry, two or more sensors, one or more power supplies, and optionally one or more wireless communication modules within a self-contained unit. At least one of the sensors comprises a stretchable sensor which may be a respiration sensor. The sensor unit may be provided independent of the health monitoring garment or as a complete system. The sensor island and compression section of the article of clothing also include fasteners of complementary geometries for reversible attachment and disengagement of the sensor island from the compression section.Type: GrantFiled: July 23, 2019Date of Patent: March 1, 2022Assignee: Cornerstone Research Group, Inc.Inventors: Trang T. Young, Mark C. Cridge, Scott A. Miller, Joshua E. Nieman, Gary N. Cupp, Kristin M. Cable

Patent number: 11071663Abstract: Human stabilization platforms may include a support structure configured to rigidly support a person. A rail may extend longitudinally from proximate a portion of the support structure configured to receive the person's head thereon to proximate a portion of the support structure configured to receive the person's lower legs thereon on each lateral side of the support structure. Each rail may include selectable attachment structures distributed along at least a portion of the longitudinal length of the rail. The selectable attachment structures may be configured to receive modular accessories to be secured to the human stabilization platform. The selectable attachment structures may include a channel including alternating enlarged sections and constricted sections.Type: GrantFiled: January 6, 2020Date of Patent: July 27, 2021Assignee: Cornerstone Research Group, Inc.Inventors: Kristin M. Cable, Jason P. Rice, Mitchell D. Bauer, Jason M. Hermiller, Bryan M. Pelley, Kelly H. Ridout, Matthew B. Sunday, Joseph H. Althaus
