Patent number: 9872526Abstract: Tension members anchored to a wearer's body to resist femoral acetabular impingement (FAI)-causing movements. A first tension member is anchored to the body of a subject, and produces a force on the subject's body to primarily limit the ability of the subject's thigh to internally rotate and the ability of the subject's knee to adduct. Thus, this first tension member resists the tendency of the subject's leg to twist inward or deflect inward, each of which may contribute to FAI. A second tension member is anchored to the subject's body, and provides a force to the subject's body to primarily limit the ability of the subject's hip joint to move in flexion. Thus, the second tension member resists the tendency of the subject's leg to raise too high, which may also contribute to FAI.Type: GrantFiled: December 13, 2012Date of Patent: January 23, 2018Inventors: Marc Safran, Tomoo Yamada

Patent number: 6350142Abstract: A compact ZIF type socket is provided having the durability to withstand numerous movements of the slider. The ZIF type IC socket 1 consists of a base housing assembly 10 that accommodates numerous contacts, and a cover housing assembly 40 that can slide over the base housing assembly 10. The cover housing assembly 40 is caused to move in relative terms by inserting a plate-form tool 99 into tool insertion holes 65 and 85 respectively formed in a metal supporting plate 60 on the side of the base housing assembly 10 and a metal supporting plate 80 on the side of the cover housing assembly 40, and rotating this tool 99. The action points of the tool insertion holes 65 and 85 contacted by the tool 99 are formed as circular-arc-form projections 75, 76, 95 and 96. Accordingly, the force of the tool 99 can be transmitted to the base housing assembly 10 and cover housing assembly 40 without causing indentation or damage, etc.Type: GrantFiled: June 15, 2000Date of Patent: February 26, 2002Assignee: The Whitaker CorporationInventors: Hiroshi Shirai, Yoshihisa Yamamoto, Tomoo Yamada, Shintaro Abe

Patent number: 5635733Abstract: In the light emitting element comprising an n-type semiconductor substrate, a lower electrode formed on the lower surface of the substrate, and a light emitting part having a pn junction, which is composed of an InGaAlP compound semiconductor material, a p-type current diffusing layer and an upper electrode which are laminated on the upper surface of the substrate in that order from the substrate side, the improvement wherein a carrier concentration of the current diffusing layer is lower on a light emitting part side thereof than that on an upper electrode side thereof, and at least the upper electrode side of the current diffusing layer is composed of GaP. By employing such structure, diffusion of the dopant to a light emitting part can be suppressed even when the carrier concentration of the upper part of the current diffusing layer is set to be higher, thereby affording a lower resistance of the current diffusing layer as a whole.Type: GrantFiled: February 16, 1996Date of Patent: June 3, 1997Assignee: Mitsubishi Cable Industries, Ltd.Inventors: Hiroaki Okagawa, Takayuki Hashimoto, Keiji Miyashita, Tomoo Yamada, Kazuyuki Tadatomo

Patent number: 5393234Abstract: The purpose of this invention is to offer an edge connector which requires less space for insertion of a card and has a reduced stress in the housing due to dissipation of mechanical stress. Accordingly, the invention comprises a C-shaped connector 1 having a housing that has a reception groove 8 and guiding grooves 10, 10' for a memory card 100. In the upper walls forming the guiding grooves 10, 10' protrusions 12, 14 are formed. These protrusions match indentations 108, 110 in the memory card. The memory card 100 can be inserted into the guiding grooves 10, 10; only when the protrusions 12, 14 and indentations 108, 110 are properly aligned. After that the memory card is moved along the grooves 10, 10' toward the contacts 70, 70' arranged in the main body 4 of the housing.Type: GrantFiled: July 27, 1993Date of Patent: February 28, 1995Assignee: The Whitaker CorporationInventors: Shoji Yamada, Tomoo Yamada

Patent number: 4955820Abstract: Disclosed is a surface-mounted component's contact having an inverted "T"-shaped soldering portion. The contact is to be mounted to the surface of a printed circuit board, and is to be electrically connected to a conductor on the printed circuit board by soldering its soldering portion to the conductor. The soldering portion comprises a flat foot and a leg, which is integrally connected to and rising from the midportion of said foot. The relatively large foot has an effect of causing substantial reduction of the load per unit of solder upon application of an undesired force to the terminal, and of increasing the resistivity of the solder against removal from the conductor of the printed circuit board.Type: GrantFiled: December 7, 1989Date of Patent: September 11, 1990Assignee: Molex IncorporatedInventors: Shoji Yamada, Tomoo Yamada
