  • Patent number: 10532449
    Abstract: A tool for removing orthotic inserts from inside of a shoe. The tool consists of a blade with a narrow tip for inserting between the edge of the orthotic and the inside of the shoe, a housing attached to the blade, the housing internally containing an LED light, a battery, a controller, and an on/off switch to active the light, and a handle use for leverage to remove the orthotic. The handle is covered by a soft pliable rubberized grip made of a silica gel material.

  • Patent number: 7461426
    Abstract: This invention includes a method of navigating a collection of nodes by selecting a first node, generating a context list and displaying first node and context list. Each context of the context collection includes a second node essentially referencing the first node. Another aspect of the invention includes a method of generating an address from a collection of contexts containing steps of receiving a selected attribute collection and generating the address. Each context includes a resolution address and an attribute collection. Each of the attribute collections contains at least one attribute. Whenever the attribute collection of a first context of the context collection is essentially the same as the selected attribute collection, the resolution address of the first context is selected as the generated address. Another aspect of the invention includes a method of navigating a hypergraph. The hypergraph includes at least one context list. Each context list contains at least one context.

  • Patent number: 5970551
    Abstract: A tool assembly for repairing high heel shoes comprises a hammer handle having opposite first and second ends, a hammer head securely mounted to said first end of the hammer handle, and an end cap releasably attached to the second end of the hammer handle for storing replacement heel taps. The end cap may be detached from the hammer handle and placed underneath a high heel shoe for serving as a shoe stand for the purpose of driving a replacement tap into the heel. The tool assembly further comprises pliers releasably attached between the hammer handle and the end cap for disengaging heel taps.

  • Patent number: 4808843
    Abstract: Damping of supersynchronous oscillations in an ac power system is accomplished by a damping circuit connected between a power line and a system neutral potential. The damping means includes a tuned circuit having a resonant frequency above the system operating frequency. Preferably, the tuned circuit further has an antiresonant frequency at the system frequency. The supersynchronous damping circuit in accordance with the invention can be used with subsynchronous damping circuits known in the prior art to enhance the damping of oscillations in the ac power system.
