US Patent:

7845870, Dec 7, 2010

Filed:

May 4, 2005

Appl. No.:

11/121772

Inventors:

Eric J. Hull - Seattle WA, US
Jeffrey D. Allison - Portland OR, US
Tyrol R. Graham - Seattle WA, US
Ryan T. Lane - Seattle WA, US

Assignee:

Infinum Labs, Inc. - Sarasota FL

International Classification:

B41J 5/00

US Classification:

400496, 400472

Abstract:

A multi-positional, multi-level user interface system including a keyboard hinged over a base surface for a pointing device such as a mouse. The keyboard and base rotate relative to each other about a hinge axis to reveal the surface, providing a portable keyboard and pointing surface. A kickstand can support the keyboard above the base while in an open position. The keyboard and pointing device can be used with two hands with the system resting in a user's lap. The keyboard can also swivel about an axis other than the hinge axis. The keyboard can swivel 180 degrees for left-handed use, and can be positioned at other detent angles. A mouse can also be stowed on the base with a magnetic, friction, or other coupling. The interface system can further act as a communication hub for other peripheral devices, such as a joystick, to communicate with a computing device.

Jeffrey Daniel Allison - Lake Oswego OR, US

Assignee:

Nike, Inc. - Beaverton OR

International Classification:

F16F 7/00
A41D 13/00

US Classification:

267141

Abstract:

Embodiments of the present invention relate to a protective pad that is comprised of an impact shell and a damping component. The damping component may be formed by a plurality of connecting members that are separated from the impact shell by a plurality of extension members that extend between the damping lattice and the impact shell. The damping component may also be formed by a sheet-like form that is separated from the impact shell by a plurality of extension members that extend between the damping sheet and the impact shell. The damping component is formed from an elastomer that aids in absorbing a portion of an impact force that is distributed across the damping component by the impact shell. The geometry of the damping component may be configured to provide a difference of impact attenuation at specific locations of the protective pad.

International Classification:

A61H 15/00
A61H 23/02

Abstract:

A thermally active roller apparatus, which includes a core; a compliant layer disposed about the core; a cover disposed about the compliant layer; a heating element; and a thermally conductive layer disposed around the heating element. Included is a thermally active roller apparatus in which the compliant layer may be formed from two or more portions having different stiffnesses. A thermally active or non-thermally active roller apparatus that includes a compliant layer comprising at least two portions of different stiffnesses and wherein the at least two portions are interdigitated to lock them together.

Jeffrey D. Allison - Lake Oswego OR, US

International Classification:

G01N 3/30
G01N 3/08

Abstract:

A method of impact testing an article of protective equipment includes mounting the article of protective equipment on a deformable member. The method also includes impacting the article of protective equipment with an impact object. Moreover, the method includes detecting an effect of impact on the deformable member due to impacting the article of protective equipment with the impact object.
