US Patent:

6343385, Feb 5, 2002

Filed:

Feb 1, 2000

Appl. No.:

09/495357

Inventors:

Jeffrey P. Katz - Columbia MD 21041

International Classification:

A42B 300

US Classification:

2411, 2410, 2425, 2412

Abstract:

A helmet for protection against non-motorized injuries comprises a number of arched segments with ventilation spaces between them, the arched segments being shaped to extend about and engage the skull. The helmet is constructed to cover the apical as well as the frontal, temporal and occipital basilar skull. The arched segments are convex on their outer surfaces, have flat, curved inner surfaces, and are made of a cushioning, impact absorbing material such as plastic foam. Reinforcing elements extend in longitudinal passages in the arched segments to provide resistance against forces which are only partly absorbed by the cushioning material. In an alternate embodiment, support straps extend over the apical skull, and an impact resistant helmet is worn over the apical skull.

G06Q 10/06

Abstract:

A system and method for real-time risk-assessment and adjustment, risks associated with a plurality of risk exposed individuals being at least partially transferable from a risk exposed individual to a first insurance system and/or from the first insurance system to an associated second insurance system. The system including a table with retrievable stored risk classes each comprising assigned risk class criteria, individual-specific parameters of the risk exposed individuals being captured relating to criteria of the stored risk classes by the system and stored in a memory, and a specific risk class associated with the risk of the exposed individual being identified out and selected of the stored risk classes by the system based on the captured parameters.

Abstract:

A force resistant garment provides a glove configured to at least partially cover a hand. The garment includes a force resistant material such as a para-aramid synthetic fiber. The garment also includes a body portion that at least partially covers a front side and a back side of the hand and wrist. In this manner, portions of the hand remain uncovered, while other portions of the hand that are prone to injuries while cutting, shearing, or applying other forces, remain protected by the garment. The garment includes a strength enhanced portion for providing additional resiliency against a force. The strength enhanced portion positions in proximity the fingers. The garment also includes non-strength enhanced portion for covering portions of the hand that require less protection, but still benefit from additional padding. The non-strength enhanced portion positions in proximity to a front side and a back side of the hand.
