Abstract: A flexible foot for a mobility device may have one or more layers of a resilient material that provides a smoother, more natural walking motion for a user and that is more stable and requires less user energy than a mobility device with a rigid foot. Furthermore, a flexible foot may have a shortened forward toe and extended rear heel, which may provide safety benefits by reducing the risk of falling and incurring further injury.

Abstract: Mobility devices are provided that enable a user to walk when the user's lower leg is in a non-functioning condition. A mobility device includes a main body, a lower leg support, an upper leg support, and a foot. The main body can be secured to a lateral side of the user's upper leg with the upper leg support. The lower leg support is connected to the main body and supports the user's lower leg. The foot is connected to a lower end of the main body and is configured to engage the ground. The foot may have a split foot configuration with a first portion and a second portion. The first portion of the foot is positioned rearward of the main body and the second portion of the foot is positioned forward of the main body. Each of the first and second foot portions may have an arcuately shaped profile.

Abstract: A system includes a database, a shared drive and a link update routine. The database includes a plurality of files and access information. The access information indicates which users have edit access to which files in the database. The shared drive contains for each user of the shared drive a directory structure that includes symbolic links to files in the database to which the user has edit access. The link update routine scans the access information in the database and updates the symbolic links in the shared drive to take into account changes made to the access information.

Abstract: A data structure for storing non-postal route data records for access by a sortation program including a non-postal route data table containing a plurality of non-postal route data sets; a destination data table containing a plurality of destination data sets corresponding to the one or more non-postal route data sets, each non-postal route data set having a link to the corresponding destination data sets of said destination data table. Each destination data set includes a sequence designation indicating an order of delivery of materials between the plurality of destinations. A delivery point data table containing one or more delivery point data sets corresponds to each destination data set, each destination data set having a link to the corresponding delivery point data set of said delivery point data table.

Abstract: An apparatus and method for processing non-postal route mail records and delivering mail items to non-postal route locations. Mail records are presented for processing. Mailers then extract non-postal route records from the input mail records and address mail items using address information derived from the non-postal route records. Items destined for a particular non-postal route location are weighed and postage is paid for those items according to their weight. The items are then transported by carrier to the target non-postal route location.
