    Abstract: A method and apparatus for enhancing the operation of leg prosthesis is provided. The apparatus includes a core configured to be attached between a first portion and a second portion of the leg prosthesis. The first portion is configured to move relative to the second portion in a first plane. The core is configured to be moved from a first position to a second position relative to the leg prosthesis such that a stiffness of the core in the first plane is varied from a first stiffness to a second stiffness. The method includes the step of attaching the core between the first portion and the second portion of the leg prosthesis. The method further includes moving the first portion relative to the second portion in a first plane. The method further includes moving the core with a motor from a first position to a second position relative to the leg prosthesis such that a stiffness of the core in the first plane varies from a first stiffness to a second stiffness.

    Abstract: The invention pertains to a system for managing interruptions to an electronic device outputting an audiovisual broadcast from a media application. The system consists of an interrupt manager, an audiovisual buffer, and a vamping module. The interrupt manager, linked to the device's operating system, is capable of temporarily halting the broadcast and issuing a notification to an end user. The audiovisual buffer collaborates with the interrupt manager, collecting a segment of audio output to create an audio segment to be played during the pause. Concurrently, the vamping module operates by broadcasting the audio segment when the interrupt manager interrupts the broadcast and releases the notification. This process shifts the focus to the notification, relegating the paused broadcast to a background state. The broadcast resumes when the interrupt manager redirects the operating system's focus back to it, promoting the paused broadcast back to the foreground state.
