Stemware rack

An improved splint/therapeutic device for at least partially immobilizing a portion of a patient's body. The device includes a splint body fabricated of a resilient material, the splint body defining an inner surface for engaging the patient's body. The splint body also defines a preselected flexibility whereby the resilient material of the splint body biases the patient's body to a desired body position and provides a preselected degree of mobility.

Splint/therapeutic device

An improved splint for at least partially immobilizing a portion of the body of a patient and/or resistively exercising portions of a patient's body. The splint comprises a splint body fabricated of a elastomeric material, the splint body having an inner surface for closely engaging a portion of the patient's body. The splint is comprised of at least two interconnected ribs and the splint body is configured to fully surround the body portion. The splint defines a flexible span for opening the splint to the receive the body portion. The improved splint also includes a suitable securing means for securing the splint around the body of the patient.

Splint

A resistance exercise suit for providing a resistance to movement to exercise the wearer's muscles. The resistance exercise suit includes a body suit to which at least one resilient rib is secured for biasing a selected body portion in a preselected position such that when the wearer moves the body portion, he experiences resistance. The resilient rib is tailorable to a particular individual's needs, and specifically, the shape, length, thickness and resistance are alterable properties.

Resistance exercise suit with semi-rigid resistant ribs

An improved splint/therapeutic device for at least partially limiting the mobility of a selected portion of a patient's body. The device (10) includes a splint body (12) fabricated of a resilient material, the splint body (12) defining an inner surface (18) for engaging the patient's body. The splint body (12) also defines a preselected flexibility whereby the resilient material of the splint body biases the patient's body to a desired body position and provides a preselected degree of mobility. The splint/therapeutic device (10) is secured to the patient's body with securing means such as tape, integrally formed body encircling portions (26'), or with securing straps (26) provided with hook-and-loop fasteners (28).

The splint body (12) also defines a preselected thickness whereby the resilient material of the splint body biases the patient's body to a desired body position. The thickness may vary over the length and width of the splint body (12) and may be selectively reduced to increase mobility of the selected body part. The splint/therapeutic device (10) is secured to the patient's body with securing means such as tape, integrally formed body encircling portions (26'), or with securing straps (26) provided with hook-and-loop fasteners (28).

Disclosed is a standby power supply system appropriate to supply a set of signal amplifiers within a cable television network. The standby power supply normally operates off of utility company power and alternatively operates from a battery power supply during power failures. Circuitry is disclosed to use battery power during failure mode operation to generate a pulse width modulated alternating current of substantially constant true rms voltage and of substantially constant frequency. Circuitry is also disclosed to cycle charge the battery supply to a desired voltage and then stop the charging cycle and begin timing normal mode operation until another charging cycle. Further, isolating circuitry is disclosed to remove much of the load on the battery supply during normal mode operation. Various safety provisions including soft start provisions, a high current cut off, a low voltage cut off, and protection for the amplification stages is included. Finally, various types of status monitoring equipment are disclosed.
