  • Foot abduction brace
    Patent number: 10314730
    Abstract: A foot abduction brace is disclosed herein. The foot abduction brace can include a crossbar having a planar bottom end. The foot abduction brace can also include a first end disposed on one side of the crossbar. The foot abduction brace can further include a first locking hub removably coupled to the first end in a first position of a plurality of positions, where the first locking hub is disposed in the first keyhole and includes a first coupling feature disposed at a top end of the first locking hub. The foot abduction brace can also include a first footplate having a first complementary coupling feature that removably couples to the first coupling feature of the first locking hub. The foot abduction brace can further include a first foot restraint mechanically coupled to the first footplate.

  • Instruction processor control system using separate hardware and microcode control signals to control the pipelined execution of multiple classes of machine instructions
    Patent number: 5577259
    Abstract: A digital instruction processor control system for an instruction processor having a multiple stage instruction execution pipeline capable of executing binary instructions in fixed predetermined stages. The control system includes a hardware controller to generate control signals for execution of all pipeline stages of standard instructions and for the first stage of extended cycle instructions and provides a main microcode controller to provide programmed control signals for controlling all subsequent stages of execution of extended cycle instructions. The control system also utilizes a separate sequence microcode controller for execution of certain instructions of a predetermined type including decimal instruction execution, during which time the main microcode controller is under control of the separate sequence controller.
