20090042433 | Data connector plug with internal cover and locking system - Data connector plugs having an internal extensible and retractable cover and locking system and portable memory storage devices and data transfer cables equipped with the same have an internal extensible and retractable cover member which, in an extended and locked position, is disposed inside the case of the plug to at least partially occupy the void space adjacent to the metal contacts sufficient to physically prevent unauthorized connection with a mating connector and access and transfer of data and media, and in an unlocked retracted position exposes the electrical contacts to allow connection of the plug and electrical contacts with a mating connector for transferring data. The internal cover member may be sized to substantially fill the void space in a forward extended position to prevent damage to the contacts and ingress of dirt or debris. | 02-12-2009 |
20100293374 | Secure Portable Memory Storage Device - A wireless secure authentication system for portable memory storage devices to prevent unauthorized transfer of stored data. The system includes a memory device such as a USB storage device that is capable of data storage. A wireless receiver and/or transmitter on the device receives and/or transmits an external signal from and/or to an external remote device, such as RFID card, bluetooth receiver, cellular telephone or any other wireless device. The device does not allow data to be accessed in the memory of the device until it receives an appropriate signal from the external device. Once the appropriate signal has been received, data transfer is allowed. In the event that the signal is lost, the data transfer is terminated and access to the data is not permitted. Examples of the system includes a USB memory device that requires a RFID card with an encrypted signal to be within a dedicated perimeter from the device. | 11-18-2010 |
20120232452 | SYSTEM FOR TREATMENT OF PLANTAR FASCIITIS - An stretch resistant plantar fascia support system is provided. The stretch resistant plantar fascia support system is adhesively applied to the foot of a patient for providing relief from plantar fasciitis. A portion of the stretch resistant plantar fascia support system is adhesively attached to the bottom surface of the foot for reducing stress on the plantar fascia. | 09-13-2012 |
20130218060 | Adhesive Wrist Support System - A support system for treatment of repetitive stress injuries. The support system uses a support layer formed from a thin, flexible, stretch resistant material. An adhesive is used that has a high shear strength to prevent the support layer from slipping when applied to the patient. The adhesive loses considerable adhesion as temperatures approach 125 degrees Fahrenheit. This allows the support system to be easily removed at temperatures within the comfort range of the user by soaking in hot water or use of a hair dryer. The system is applied to a wrist or other injury by securing around the wrist. A second portion of the support layer extends up to a portion of the back of the wrist. The user is able to move and flex the wrist through the full range of motion, however with a dampening effect which promotes neutral wrist postures and minimizes accumulative irridation to the median nerve. | 08-22-2013 |
20140107552 | Disposable Two-Part Orthotic Foot Support Strap System And Method - An ultrathin sole strap with a pair of heel tabs and an ultrathin arch strap formed of flexible, non-resilient non-stretch woven microfiber material having an adhesive layer on an underside surface for adhesive application to a foot individually or in combination. The sole strap is adhered along the ball, the midfoot, and the heel of the foot, and the heel tabs are adhered to the back side of the heel in crossed relation. The sole strap functions as a tensile load bearing member in the region between the ball and the heel of the foot during the heel contact phase, weight bearing midstance phase, and propulsion phases of a walking gait cycle, to bear major tensile loads and stresses which would otherwise be absorbed primarily by the plantar fascia. The arch strap adhered transversely over the sole support strap and arch of the foot provides additional support and stability. | 04-17-2014 |
20140107553 | SYSTEM FOR TREATMENT OF PLANTAR FASCIITIS - An stretch resistant plantar fascia support system is provided. The stretch resistant plantar fascia support system is adhesively applied to the foot of a patient for providing relief from plantar fasciitis. A portion of the stretch resistant plantar fascia support system is adhesively attached to the bottom surface of the foot for reducing stress on the plantar fascia. | 04-17-2014 |
20140107554 | Disposable Two-Part Orthotic Foot Support Strap System And Method - A method for treating plantar fasciitis and foot pain utilizes a pre-cut sole support strap and an arch support strap formed of flexible woven material having an adhesive layer on an underside surface that are adhered to a foot individually or in combination. The sole strap is adhered to the skin surface along the sole from the ball of the foot to the heel and the back and lateral sides of the heel, and provides stability and support to the foot and, when subjected to forces induced during walking, absorbs tensile loads and stresses to prevent damage to the plantar fascia by reducing tensile stress carried by the plantar fascia. The arch support strap is adhered transversely over the sole support strap and arch of the foot to maintain the sole support strap in engagement with the sole of the foot and provide additional support and stability. | 04-17-2014 |
20140245700 | System of Treatment for Plantar Fasciitis - A method for manufacturing stretch resistant plantar fascia support system is provided. The stretch resistant plantar fascia support system is adhesively applied to the foot of a patient for providing relief from plantar fasciitis. A portion of the stretch resistant plantar fascia support system is adhesively attached to the bottom surface of the foot for reducing stress on the plantar fascia. | 09-04-2014 |
20150060010 | Multi-Phase Passive Thermal Transfer for Subsea Apparatus - A system, including: a subsea pressure vessel; and a passive heat transfer apparatus, wherein the passive heat transfer apparatus penetrates a hull or shell of the subsea pressure vessel. | 03-05-2015 |
