  • Patent number: 10285901
    Abstract: A process of massaging a subject is provided that includes the provision of a vibratory massage roller having a casing with a casing surface extending over a length of the vibratory roller. A motor in included in the housing and is electrically coupled to a power source. The power source is energized to induce a vibratory amplitude to the surface that varies less than 30 amplitude percent across the central 70 percent of the length. The massage roller is contacted with the subject to massage the subject.
    Type: Grant

  • Publication number: 20160113841
    Abstract: A process of massaging a subject is provided that includes the provision of a vibratory massage roller with a user controlled magnitude of vibratory amplitude having a casing with a casing surface extending over a length of the vibratory roller. A series of weights inside the casing may be positioned by the user to vary and control the amplitude of the vibration produced by the roller. A motor is included in the housing and is electrically coupled to a power source. The power source is energized to induce a vibratory amplitude to the surface that varies less than thirty amplitude percent across the central seventy percent of the length. The massage roller is contacted with the subject to massage the subject.

  • Patent number: 8157216
    Abstract: A fairing includes three sections: an aft section, a middle section, and a nose section. The aft section includes a first surface having a generally constant conic angle (i.e., a “boat-tail angle”) with respect to the longitudinal axis such that the aft section tapers to a first end configured to attach to a generally cylindrical body. The middle section, which intersects and is axially aligned with the aft section, has a second surface characterized by a constant elliptical cross-section along a plane orthogonal to the longitudinal axis. The nose section intersects and is axially aligned with the middle section. The nose section is further defined by four generally concave trianguloid surfaces, each extending from the middle section to a common apex intersecting the longitudinal axis, wherein each adjacent pair of trianguloid surfaces intersects at an edge (e.g., an incurvate edge).
