Title: Bicentric hinge for use in a brace
Inventor: HOUSER GUY M
IPC: A61F5/01
Filed: 2003-02-06
Abstract: Bicentric hinges for use in braces and methods for operating knee braces and other types of braces are disclosed herein. In one embodiment, a hinge includes a plate and first and second members rotatably coupled to the plate. The first member is rotatable about a first axis of rotation between a first position and a second position. The second member is rotatable about a second axis of rotation between a third position and a fourth position independent of the rotation of the first member about the first axis of rotation. The second axis of rotation is spaced apart from the first axis of rotation. The first and second members are configured to be attachable to a frame. In another embodiment of the invention, a method of operating a knee brace hinge includes pivoting a first member about a first axis of rotation from a first position to a second position, and rotating a second member about a second axis of rotation from a third position to a fourth position after the first member has substantially reached the second position. The second axis of rotation is spaced away from the first axis of rotation. The method further includes returning the first member to the first position and the second member to the third position.

Title: Rule creation for computer application screening;
Inventor: REINER RICHARD
IPC: G06F21/12
Filed: 2003-10-01
Abstract: To facilitate the creation of rules for screening application layer requests to a computer application, a sample space of application layer requests is grouped according to one or more grouping criteria. Each grouping criterion may be a feature of application layer requests such that each grouping contains application layer requests with a common feature. For example, which the application layer requests follow the hyper-text transport protocol (HTTP), a common feature for some groupings could be a common URI pathname extension. A rule set for an application may be used to expose errors in the application. Test requests are constructed each of which violates at least one of the rules. The test requests are passed to the application to see whether the application throws the expected exceptions.
