Publication number: 20100249949Abstract: A tubular liner has an open proximal end and a closed-end distal area, and a fabric layer continuously defining an exterior surface of the liner without interruption. A polymeric layer having first and second surfaces is bonded to an interior surface of the fabric layer. A seam is formed by opposed sides of the fabric layer joined together and forming an excess portion directed toward the cavity of the liner. The excess portion is embedded in the polymeric layer.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 25, 2010Publication date: September 30, 2010Inventors: Asmundur Bergmann BJARNASON, Sigurdur ASGEIRSSON

Patent number: 7771488Abstract: Embodiments of low cost prosthetic feet include a footplate with a connection mechanism embedded within a first foam element having a first stiffness. A second foam element is bonded to the footplate and has a recess in a proximal surface and a stiffness greater than the first foam element. The second foam element may have a portion extending past the terminal end of the footplate. A cosmesis encloses the components of the prosthetic foot. A third foam element that extends through the cosmesis into the second foam element may be provided. The third foam element may have a higher stiffness than the first and second foam elements.Type: GrantFiled: October 1, 2008Date of Patent: August 10, 2010Assignee: Ossur HFInventors: Sigurdur Asgeirsson, Gudlaugur Olafsson, Gudni Ingimarsson

Patent number: 7694328Abstract: An innovative security solution which separates a client into a Protected Context, which is the real files and resources of the client, and an Isolated Context, which is a restricted execution environment which makes use of virtualized resources to execute applications and modify content in the Isolated Context, without allowing explicit access to the resources in the Protected Context. The solution further consolidates user interfaces to allow users to seamlessly work with content in both contexts, and provide a visual indication of which display windows are rendered from content executed in the Isolated Context.Type: GrantFiled: October 21, 2004Date of Patent: April 6, 2010Assignee: Google Inc.Inventors: Amit Joshi, Ananta Iyengar, Anurag Sharma, Finnur Thorarinsson, Johann Sigurdsson, Sanjeev Radhakrishnan, Sigurdur Asgeirsson, Sunil Shilimkar, Tomas Gunnarsson, Wayne Gray

Patent number: 7662191Abstract: A device and method to aid in the donning and doffing of prosthetic liners. A vacuum is created between the device and the prosthetic liner in order to expand the prosthetic liner. The device and the liner can then be placed in position on a residual limb and the vacuum released to aid in donning the liner. To doff a liner, the device is placed in position over a residual limb carrying a prosthetic liner. A vacuum is created between the device and the liner to expand the liner in order to aid doffing.Type: GrantFiled: June 28, 2007Date of Patent: February 16, 2010Assignee: Ă–ssur hfInventor: Sigurdur Asgeirsson

Patent number: 7438843Abstract: A method and kit for forming a definitive prosthetic socket directly on a residuum without the use of a water hardenable material. A chamber surrounding a web of braided fibers is created on the residuum via the use of inner and outer protective sheaths. A hardenable or curable material for forming the prosthetic socket is injected into the chamber around the web. Pressure is applied around the chamber to form the definitive prosthetic socket.Type: GrantFiled: June 28, 2007Date of Patent: October 21, 2008Assignee: Ossur hfInventor: Sigurdur Asgeirsson

Publication number: 20070255194Abstract: A method for producing a wound dressing wherein a curable silicone mixture is extruded onto a generally planar molding surface. The silicone mixture defines a first surface adjacent the planar surface and a second surface opposite the first surface. The molding surface is heated at a curing temperature sufficient to cause the silicone mixture to cross-link. The silicone mixture is uniformly spread over the molding surface such that the silicone mixture has a generally uniform thickness and the second surface is substantially planar. The second surface of the silicone mixture is laminated to an absorbent material after the silicone mixture has started to cross-link and transform to a gel due to exposure to the heated molding surface.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 29, 2007Publication date: November 1, 2007Inventors: Palmar Gudnason, Thordur Elefsen, Gudni Ingimarsson, Sigurdur Asgeirsson
