Patent number: 10317324Abstract: A specimen testing system has holders that hold a specimen for testing. The holders brace the specimen so that a load may be applied. A load applicator applies a load to the specimen at a location that is between the holders bracing the specimen. A user may adjust the load applicator until it applies the desired load to the specimen. If desired, a user may apply rotation to a specimen while it is experiencing a load by using a specimen rotation system. The user may continue to adjust the load applied to the specimen or continue to rotate the specimen during loading until the specimen fails.Type: GrantFiled: February 20, 2018Date of Patent: June 11, 2019Assignee: Board of Trustees of the University of Alabama, for and on behalf of the University of Alabama in HuntsvilleInventors: Kalob Ownby, Mark Creel, Jordan Fulmer, Matt Fulmer, Michael Henry, Dung Tuan Le, Melissa Lee, Derek Odom, Russ Walton, Jeffrey Evans

Publication number: 20180168356Abstract: A device to be worn on a user's head is provided for promoting back sleeping. The device includes first and second stabilizers that have a head engaging surface and a bulge portion that extends outwardly from the head engaging surface, such as in the shape of a triangular prism. The first and second stabilizers are supported by a connecting member, such as a band that is worn around the user's head. When in use, the user is able to lie on his or her back on a sleep surface, such that the first and second stabilizers are positioned on opposite sides of the user's head. In this way, lateral movement of the user's head is limited to encourage back sleeping and avoid or minimize the pressure that may otherwise be applied to certain areas of the face, such that the occurrence of sleep wrinkles can be reduced.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 10, 2016Publication date: June 21, 2018Inventors: Virginia POROWSKI, Mischell CHRISTMAS, Melissa LEES
