  • Patent number: 7799090
    Abstract: A modularized prosthesis leg cover quickly covers a prosthesis leg and does not affect bending or stretching motion of a knee joint part of the prosthesis leg, thus preventing damage to the knee joint part of the prosthesis leg. Thus, the modularized prosthesis leg cover includes a thigh module, which can be mounted to a thigh socket of the prosthesis leg, a lower leg module, which can be fastened to a calf pipe of the prosthesis leg, and a patella module, which can be rotatably assembled with the lower leg module. The prosthesis leg cover, which is formed by assembling the modules, is covered with a skin module, which is made of a stretchable fiber. The respective modules are provided as prefabricated modules. A method of manufacturing the prosthesis leg cover is also provided.

  • Publication number: 20070150069
    Abstract: The present invention provides a modularized prosthesis leg cover and a method for manufacturing the prosthesis leg cover, which quickly covers a prosthesis leg and does not affect bending or stretching motion of a knee joint part of the prosthesis leg, thus preventing damage to the knee joint part of the prosthesis leg. Thus, the modularized prosthesis leg cover of the present invention includes a thigh module (10), which can be mounted to a thigh socket (2) of the prosthesis leg, a lower leg module (30), which can be fastened to a calf pipe (6) of the prosthesis leg, and a patella module (20), which can be rotatably assembled with the lower leg module (30). The prosthesis leg cover, which is formed by assembling the modules, is covered with a skin module, which is made of a stretchable fiber. The respective modules of the present invention are provided as prefabricated modules.

  • Publication number: 20020146111
    Abstract: When a caller dials a telephone number with a telephone device assigned to a caller area code, the telephone device stores the telephone number to analyze it. According to the analysis, the telephone device adds the caller area code to the top of the dialed telephone number if the call is addressed to a telephone device in the area assigned to the caller area code, and the dialed telephone number does not include the caller area code.

  • Patent number: 6006378
    Abstract: A bed permits changing of bedclothes without moving the person on it and without substantial burden for either the patient or the care-taker. A left and a right carriage member 5 and 6, wheels 15 to 18 and a shaft 7 constitute a carriage. The carriage supports mats 11 and 12 via balancing members 3 and 4 and shafts 1 and 2 and advances the mats 11 and 12 along rails 31 and 32. The mat 12 is stretched between the rails 31 and 32 by fasteners. The balancing members 3 and 4 are rotatably coupled by a shaft to downward extensions 5a and 6a of the carriage members 5 and 6. The shafts 1 and 2 are rotatably mounted in the balancing members 3 and 4. With advancement of the carriage caused by turning a grip 26, the slides 52 and 54 cause the old mat 12 to be released from the fasteners and wound on the shaft 2, while also causing the new mat 11 to be coupled to the fasteners and stretched between the rails 31 and 32.

  • Patent number: 5428661
    Abstract: A terminating, or an incoming, call control method, in which a subscriber group constituted by a plurality of subscriber telephone sets respectively accommodated in, or connected to, a plurality of lower switching units and sharing a terminating call is set. A host switching unit parallelly accommodating the lower switching units is caused to monitor that a fault has occurred in at least one of the lower switching units. When a terminating call is made for one of the subscriber telephone sets accommodated in one lower switching unit, of the lower switching units, in which the fault has occurred, the host switching unit is caused to assign the terminating call to one fault-free lower switching unit which accommodates a given subscriber telephone set belonging to the same subscriber group as that of a call incoming destination subscriber telephone set in the subscriber telephone sets.
