  • Patent number: 12290464
    Abstract: The arm brace supports an injured arm during rehabilitation. The arm brace has a wrap member, an arm support member, and an arm sleeve member. The wrap member is secured around a hip and a thigh of a user. The arm support member is secured to a side of the wrap member with couplings including V straps. This configuration provides a platform structure that supports the arm sleeve that partially surrounds and protects the forearm. The arm brace does not require a shoulder strap, a neck strap for support and any other upper body supports. The brace provides a stable support structure that immobilizes the arm regardless of the position of the patient. The hand extends out from a front end of the brace so the user can perform activities such as eating, typing, and grasping.

  • Patent number: 7880728
    Abstract: Detailed herein is a technology which, among other things, provides a touch screen interface for computer system which allows intuitive switching between several applications. In one approach to this technology, a touch screen display is used to display an interface for an application. A touch sensitive border region is defined at the edge of this display, and is associated with another application. Receiving input at the touch sensitive border region causes the touch screen display to display the interface for the second application.
