Bruce Parker set up Parker Foundation in 1998 after selling Parker
medical Associates in 1998.
“Some of you will be familiar with, or remember reading about,
Charlottean Bruce Parker, who sold his 10-year-old Parker Medical
Associates business less than two years ago, for a very sizeable
amount of money, and who has, ever since, been doing what's clearly
this area's most remarkable philanthropic work in recent memory,
putting his Faith into real practice.
(..)
Last year, Bruce set up his Parker Foundation, and, among many other
things, bought the historic, 100-year-old Tabernacle Associate
Reformed Presbyterian Church, at 926 East Trade Street, which the
congregation had put on the market, including its adjoining education
building, allowing the new Community Charter School to use it,
rent-free.”

Bob22,
I searched for patents of ISO Technology at the U.S. Patent and
Trademark Office and located the following:
United States Patent 5,755,678
Parker, et al. May 26, 1998
------------------------------------------------
Custom-fitted body protective device with variable reenforcement
Abstract:
“A medical bandaging product which includes a storage package formed
of moisture-impervious material and sealable to prevent entry of
moisture, with a medical material positioned in the storage package
and sealed therein against entry of moisture until use. The medical
material includes a substrate having a variable thickness with a
relatively thick predetermined central area to provide rigidity, and
relatively thin predetermined edge areas to provide less rigidity to
the edge areas for ease in molding the medical material around to part
to be bandaged. A reactive system is impregnated into or coated onto
the substrate, the system remaining stable when maintained in
substantially moisture-free conditions and hardening upon exposure to
sufficient moisture to form a rigid, self supporting structure. A
protective wrapping encloses the substrate along its length to provide
a barrier between the substrate and the skin of a patient when the
material is in use. “

Appl. No.: 543162
Filed: October 13, 1995
Description:
Technical Field And Background Of The Invention
”This invention relates to custom-fitted body protective devices such
as a splint used to set broken bones and a shin, thigh, or arm pad
used to protect against injuries to sports participants, and to
protect previous injuries while sports competition continues. As used
in this application, the terms "custom body protective device,"
"splint," "medical material" and "medical bandaging material" carry
essentially the same meaning, and all apply to products which can be
noncircumferentially-molded while flexible to a body part for curing,
to thereafter form a protective structure such as a splint, as
claimed.
(..)
Prior art body protectors include numerous types of guards which are
fitted over the body part, such as the shin. These devices typically
include a soft component to place near the skin and a hard, shell-like
outer cover. The soft component is intended not only to provide a
cushion, but also to accommodate itself to the varying configurations
of differing sized and shaped body parts. For this reason, the
cushioned part is substantially greater in thickness than required
merely to provide the required amount of shock attenuation. Such
devices are sufficiently "generic" that they are required to be held
in place by straps or bands.”

This information is posted at their website:
“OSi® Fiberglass Technology is revolutionizing athletic protective
equipment. Simply put, there’s nothing like it. In fact, nothing else
comes close. Developed over ten years ago as better splinting
material, today OSi® technology is used in hospitals around the world
to quickly set and protect broken bones. The developers, after seeing
thousands of sports-related injuries, set about adapting this process
to help prevent them. The result is a line of protective gear that’s
lightweight, low profile and provides superior impact dispersion. By
custom fitting to the player, OSi® guards disperse impact over their
entire area. Extensive testing has shown that no products of
comparable size and weight match OSi® equipment for protection.”
