20080302623Carry-All - A multi-compartment bag configured to objects specific to one or more applications is described herein. The multi-compartment bag comprises a housing having sides extending between a base and a top, a fastener, e.g., a zipper or snap, to connect the top to at least one of the sides, a panel releasably connected to the top, and two or more modular containers configured to fit within the housing. The modular containers sub-divide the housing into two or more compartments. The multi-compartment bag may further comprise an insert configured to hold an object within the modular container. The insert may include one or more cutouts that frictionally hold one or more objects.12-11-2008

20100114331Prosthetic attachment system with low profile attachment pad - An anchoring system for a transtibial or transfemoral (above or below the knee) prosthesis. The anchoring system includes a liner for enveloping an amputee limb. The liner has a first strap releasably secured to the fabric of the liner by a reinforcement plate that has a particular molded hook backing that removably adheres to the liner in such a way as to still provide a secure anchor for the buckle. The liner also has a second strap fixedly attached to the distal bottom end of the liner. The anchoring system also includes a containment socket for seating the liner. The containment socket has a pair of slots there through at positions corresponding to the two straps of the liner, respectively. To apply the anchoring system, the patient first applies the liner to his/her limb. The liner is then inserted into the socket with the two fastening straps protruding out through the respective slots. The patient pulls down on the lower strap thereby drawing the liner down into the socket until the liner is securely seated in the socket. When fully seated, the two fastening straps are overlayed and secured to themselves by Velcro® or the lower strap is threaded through a buckle on the upper strap and secured onto itself with Velcro®. The foregoing forms a suspension which holds the prosthesis on. Moreover, the fastening straps through slots absolutely prevent lateral shift as well as rotation.05-06-2010
20100121464Anti-slip prosthetic attachment system - An anchoring system for a transtibial or transfemoral (above or below the knee) prosthesis. The anchoring system includes a liner for enveloping an amputee limb. The liner has a first strap attached toward an upper end, and a corresponding strap fixedly attached to the distal bottom end of the liner. The anchoring system also includes a containment socket for seating the liner. The containment socket has a pair of slots there through at positions corresponding to the two straps of the liner, respectively. To apply the anchoring system, the patient first applies the liner to his/her limb. The liner is then inserted into the socket with the two fastening straps protruding out through the respective slots. The patient pulls down on the lower strap thereby drawing the liner down into the socket until the liner is securely seated in the socket. When fully seated, the two fastening straps are overlayed and secured to themselves by Velcro™. The foregoing forms a suspension which holds the prosthesis on. Moreover, the fastening straps through slots absolutely prevent lateral shift as well as rotation.05-13-2010
20100211188Prosthetic socket adjustable test mounting system - A temporary diagnostic prosthetic socket mounting system and kit including a generally circular test mounting block defined by an annular groove and four axial cutouts extending from the lower surface of the block to the upper surface. The axial cutouts are at least as deep as the annular groove. A band extending around the perimeter of the block is provided which spans the axial cutouts, thereby forming a void in the cutouts beneath the tape. The block is secured to a prosthetic diagnostic socket by adhesive with the band extending up over the upper edge of the block and onto the outer surface of the socket. Casting tape is applied over the socket/block joint extending into the groove. After diagnostic fitting and transfer of the alignment, a cast saw can be passed around the joint through the casting tape and into the adhesive between the upper surface of the block and the rounded distal end of the socket. The gap behind the band in the cutouts provides a void space for the saw that avoids damage to the block, and the casting tape is severed and easily removed.08-19-2010

20100301217MINIATURE PHASE-CORRECTED ANTENNAS FOR HIGH RESOLUTION FOCAL PLANE THz IMAGING ARRAYS - An array of backward diodes of a cathode layer adjacent to a first side of a non-uniform doping profile and an Antimonide-based tunnel barrier layer adjacent to a second side of the spacer layer have a monolithically integrated antenna bonded to each backward diode. The Antimonide-based tunnel barrier may be doped with, for example, a non-uniform delta doping profile. An imaging/detection device includes a 2D focal plane array of an array of backward diodes, wherein each backward diode is monolithically bonded to an antenna, which array is located at the back of an extended hemispherical lens, and wherein certain of the arrays are tilted for correcting optics aberrations. The antennas may be a bow-tie antenna, a planar log-periodic antenna, a double-slot with microstrip feed antenna, a spiral antenna, a helical antenna, a ring antenna, a dielectric rod antenna, or a double slot antenna with co-planar waveguide feed antenna.12-02-2010
20110163932Monolithically-Integrated Matched Antennas - This disclosure relates to monolithic focal plane arrays including an antenna coupled to a backwards diode to make large scale arrays. The antennas may be, for example, a bow-tie antenna, a planar log-periodic antenna, a double-slot with microstrip feed antenna, a spiral antenna, a helical antenna, a ring antenna, a dielectric rod antenna, or a double slot antenna with co-planar waveguide feed antenna. There is no restriction on the type of antenna coupled with the backwards diodes to make monolithic large scale arrays.07-07-2011
