| 20100108234 | Dual-character shock isolation methodology - A shock-mitigating method which is practiceable in a connective interface existing between a pair of interconnected structures, wherein the fundamental practice steps include (a) on one side of that interface, engaging any shock-transmission event with a cushioning material which is characterized by kinetic-energy-to-heat conversion behavior, and (b), on the other side of the interface, engaging such an event with a material which is in shock communication with the cushioning material, and which is characterized by shear-lock behavior. | 05-06-2010 |
| 20100186172 | Anatomical, pressure-evenizing mattress overlay - A method and structure for furnishing pressure-evenized, dynamic-reaction anatomical support. The method includes (a) supporting the anatomy with a 100% open cell viscoelastic foam, and (b) thereafter, and within the foam, reacting to both static and dynamic, anatomically-produced foam indentations to expand and contract cell-openness size, whereby deeper/sharper indentations result in greater-size cell-openness. Such reacting includes laterally stretching and flowing regions of the foam adjacent such an indentation The overlay structure features (1) a dynamic-response core expanse formed of a 100% open-cell, compressible and flowable, polyurethane, viscoelastic foam possessing a compressed, relaxed-state volume and (2) an elastomeric, moisture-resistant coating, load-transmissively, interfacially bonded to the entirety of the outside surface of the core expanse to function as a dynamically-responsive unit with the expanse. The coating possesses a relaxed-state prestressed tension condition which is responsible for the expanse's compressed condition. | 07-29-2010 |
| 20100191163 | Dynamic-response, anatomical bandaging system and methodology - A dynamic-response anatomical bandaging system and methodology utilizing a limb-wrappable, layered, dynamic-response, bandaging expanse which includes a dynamic-response, pressure-applying layer displaying a compressive-load versus compression-deflection behavior which is characterized by a curve having a substantially linear region in which a major change in compression deflection relates to an anatomically insignificant change in compressive load. The system and methodology also feature, relative to use of the bandaging expanse, freely attachable and detachable, dynamic-response (a) splinting structure, and (b) expanse-edge-overlap wrap-closure tensioning structure. | 07-29-2010 |
| 20100192306 | Anatomical, pressure-evenizing mattress overlay and associated methodology - A method and structure for furnishing pressure-evenized, dynamic-reaction anatomical support. The method includes (a) supporting the anatomy with a 100% open cell viscoelastic foam, and (b) within the foam, reacting to both static and dynamic, anatomically-produced foam indentations to expand and contract cell-openness size, whereby deeper/sharper indentations result in greater-size cell-openness. Such reacting includes laterally stretching and flowing regions of the foam adjacent such an indentation The overlay structure features (1) a dynamic-response core expanse formed of a 100% open-cell, compressible and flowable, polyurethane, viscoelastic foam possessing a compressed, relaxed-state volume, and (2) an elastomeric, moisture- and gas-flow-managing coating, load-transmissively, bonded to the entirety of the core expanse's outside surface to function as a dynamically-responsive unit with the expanse. The coating possesses a relaxed-state, prestressed tension condition which is responsible for the expanse's compressed condition. | 08-05-2010 |
| 20110072589 | ANATOMICAL, PRESSURE-EVENIZING MATTRESS OVERLAY WITH PRESTRESSED CORE, AND BAFFLED, LATERAL-EDGE CORE RESPIRATION - An anatomical pressure-evenizing mattress overlay including a dynamic-response core having spaced, upper and lower, surfaces and an intermediate, perimetral edge. The core is formed including a 100% open-cell, compressible and flowable, viscoelastic foam expanse, and possesses a relaxed-state volume which resides in about an 8-10% nominally compressed condition. Load-transmissively bonded to the entire outside of the core, so as to function as a dynamically-responsive unit with it, and possessing a relaxed-state, internal, prestressed, tension condition, is an elastomeric, moisture- and gas-flow-managing coating, including fluid-flow-controlling, baffled, respiration window structure which exposes a portion of the core's edge to accommodate respiration of and for the interior of the core. | 03-31-2011 |
