20110047957 | CONDUCTIVE YARN AND CLOTH CONTAINING THE SAME - A conductive yarn and a cloth containing the same are revealed. A plurality of fibers is wound with a heating element in a spiral form so as to form a yarn with electrical conductivity and flexibility. The conductive yarn is used as a thread in a first direction while regular yarns with conductive metal wires arranged at the two sides thereof are used as threads in a second direction. Thus the threads are woven into a cloth that generates heat while being conducted with electricity.

20080295212 | Baseball-player's abbreviated training-glove & method - The notion of a physically down-scaled ‘fielding-trainer’-type catching-glove suitable for all ages desiring to improve their bio-mechanical hand/eye-coordination, WebGlov™ is configured with receptacles for thumb & forefinger only, with cross-webbing extending there between; as to thereby uniquely serve in catching conventional golfball-sized light-weight hollow-polyballs. This abbreviated glove can be implemented in a challenging practice of regular catching conducted between two or more distally opposed participants, —or, it can be employed by only a single catcher while training alone in novel combination with a relentless conventional auto-feed Ball-thruster machine. Preferable fabricated of durable nylon-clad ¼″-thickness highly-flexible frothed-neoprene material, the notion of this glove is to enable its user to more precisely coordinate their eye and hand, by requiring them to catch a relatively small polyball in the comparatively tiny receiving-pocket area formed between the WebGlov's thumb and index-finger (or, alternatively the middle-finger). The ‘reduced-scale effect’ of this diminutive pocket-area as compared to the approximately four to six time larger receiver-pocket provided by a conventional fielder's-glove, is the key-factor in promoting significant improvement in the instantaneous reflex-action needed to place one's hand at the critical position, coupled with the pocket-closure timing required to thus consistently catch and trap an approaching ball. | 12-04-2008 |

20120329008 | PROCESS FOR MAKING A DENTAL RESTORATION MODEL - A method for making an inverted digital file of digital surface map data and the fabrication of a dental restoration model mold that includes elements of digital scanning of either an impression taken of a patients teeth, a model fabricated from casting or otherwise replicating the patient restoration and adjacent teeth impression, or the manipulation of a digital scan data file of the patient restoration and adjacent sites. The digital data is manipulated by inverting the data contained in the file to precisely create the inverse image of the digital data to render a shell that exactly replicates the surface topography of the restoration site in an inverted manner. A mold fabricated from this inverted data does not require separation, disassembly or distortion to release the positive model cast from the mold. | 12-27-2012 |
20130231623 | Wound Dressing Inhibiting Lateral Diffusion Of Absorbed Exudate - A wound dressing including a hydrophilic layer and a hydrophobic layer is described. The hydrophilic layer absorbs exudate from a wound and the hydrophobic layer absorbs the exudate from the hydrophilic layer and traps the exudate. Because the hydrophilic layer is used adjacent to the wound, the exudate is readily absorbed thereby reducing the risk of maceration and infection of the wound tissue by the exudate. The hydrophobic layer receives the absorbed exudate from the hydrophilic layer and traps the exudate through an interaction that in turn prevents lateral diffusion of the exudate through the bandage to healthy portions of the skin. The hydrophilic and hydrophobic layers are fabricated from polymer fibers that can be spun to include components that facilitate wound healing, such as poly(hexamethylene biguanide) and/or hyaluronic acid. | 09-05-2013 |

20090313737 | Batter's finger-worn variable-density control-pad - A baseball batter's improved grip enhancing Pow'rPad™ device providing therapeutic vibration sting-absorption, which in critically configured for use upon one's upper/batting-hand, while primarily employing the forefinger but optionally including the adjacent middle-finger for positioning stability. The user's two fingers are fully inserted (with or without a conventional batting-glove) through a pair of intimately fitting spaced apart holes provided into a resiliently flexile preferably frothed-neoprene roll-stock material, clad on both sides with reinforcing nylon/stretch-fabric. An integral bolster cushion portion is arranged distally opposite the finger-holes, formed via a circular-wrap of the pad material around an extruded-core of resilient material. This constitutes the primary performance enhancing feature, whereby both ‘advanced bat positioning’, and advantageous ‘rebound-effect’ is provided; —enabling the batter to hit a ball further with greater control. The insert-cushion can be selectively changed, thereby offering variable compliance characteristics according to individual user preference; thus encouraging a more aggressive bat-swing action by dispelling any subconscious trepidation over dreaded debilitating hand-injury shock-trauma. | 12-24-2009 |
