Abstract: A brace incorporates an elongated strut having rigid hinge bars interconnected by an adjustable dual-axis ROM hinge. An exchangeable hinge stop is removably positioned within the ROM hinge, and designed to engage the hinge bars at a predetermined flexion/extension limit, thereby restricting pivoting movement of the strut and custom limiting a range of extension or flexion of the body part. A stop retention post cooperates with a flex member to hold the hinge stop in position relative to the first and second hinge bars. Lifting the flex member outwardly away from the hinge plate allows the hinge stop to be removed from the ROM hinge and exchanged.

Abstract: A method of processing a virtual money order transaction includes establishing an account for a first user having a first user device and receiving from a second user device, a virtual money order purchase request identifying the first user as a payee, an amount, and payment information. A transfer of a payment amount from a second user account to a transaction processor account is processed and a virtual money order is generated with associated information accessible at a network address. A notification including the network address is transmitted to the first user device and a request to receive the money order information is received via the network address. Responsive to verification that the requester is authorized, the information is transmitted to the first user device. A redemption request is received and a transfer of the money order amount from the transaction data account to the redemption requester is processed.
