Abstract: The instant invention is a dynamic exoskeletal orthosis apparatus that operates as an adjustable protective brace for the protection and rehabilitation of joints. The instant invention provides protection to a joint with provisions to allow for the graduated increase in range of motion in one, two or more planes while limiting or allowing free motion in the remainder of the planes. The device allows the protection, mobilization, and stabilization of an injured joint or limb without the necessity of changing the device or utilizing multiple orthotic devices. The device is especially suitable for use in sports by providing a device that allows for a full range of movement, yet protects against impact as well as prohibits movement into positions that may lead to injury.

Abstract: A photograph identification system is disclosed for use in recording descriptions and other pertinent information pertaining to a particular photograph. The identification system employs a data entry device having a keyboard input for recording alpha/numeric information. The data entry device is attached the camera and is capable of receiving a signal from the camera flash terminal for indexing of the recorded information. The camera operator inputs information at the time the photograph is taken and the information is stored in a memory module. The memory module is later made available for printing out of the information, preferably on labels for permanent identification of photographs developed from processing of the camera film.
