The outer coil has an outer diameter less than the recess diameter, and an inner diameter less than the center opening diameter. The outer coil is radially expanded within the recess in response to engagement with contact rings on the implantable medical device, such that the outer diameter of the outer coil is at least equal to the recess diameter. | 01-29-2015 |
20150086292 | SET SCREW APPARATUS - In various examples, a set screw apparatus includes a set screw including a set screw body. An abutment extends radially outwardly from the set screw body and longitudinally separated from a threaded set screw area of a first length by an unthreaded set screw area of a second length of the set screw body. A block includes a bore. A threaded block area includes a third length, wherein the abutment inhibits movement of the set screw past the threaded block area and removal of the set screw from the bore. The third length is shorter than the second length so that an entirety of the threaded block area can be disposed within the unthreaded set screw area, such that the set screw is freely rotatable within the bore, but retained within the bore, if turned in a first direction with respect to the block. | 03-26-2015 |
20150201933 | ANCHOR AND ANCHOR DEPLOYMENT APPARATUS - An anchor for maintaining a portion of a therapy delivery element within a desired location of a patient has (i) a first opening, (ii) a second opening, (iii) a body member formed of elastic material disposed between the first and second opening, (iv) and a lumen extending though the body member from the first opening to the second opening, and (v) a retention element secured to or integrally formed with the body member for retaining the anchor within a tissue location of a patient. The therapy delivery element has an outer diameter and an outer surface about which the anchor is disposable. The body member has a first inner diameter defined by the lumen in a relaxed state and a second inner diameter defined by the lumen in a radially stretched state. The first inner diameter is smaller than the outer diameter of the therapy delivery element, which is smaller that the second inner diameter. The lumen is configured to be disposed about at least a portion of the therapy delivery element. Radially compressive forces, due to the elastic material of the body member, contribute to retaining the anchor relative to the therapy delivery element. | 07-23-2015 |

20150218499 | LEGLESS INSULATED FERMENTING TANK - The apparatus includes a fermentation tank of a type including a cylindrical tank shell and a downwardly-directed frustoconical tank bottom affixed to a bottom edge of the cylindrical tank shell. An upwardly-directed frustoconical support positioned below the cylindrical tank is configured to have a centrally located aperture for receiving and supporting a lower portion of the tank bottom. The tank includes an outer cylindrical sleeve configured to receive the cylindrical tank shell, tank bottom, and support to form a tank assembly, wherein the assembly includes an annular gap between the tank shell and sleeve, and a cavity between the sleeve, tank bottom, and support. Rigid foam insulation is then filled within the annular gap and cavity to provide structural rigidity to the assembly as well as insulative properties to maintain the stored liquid at a desired temperature. | 08-06-2015 |

20090100902 | Programmable, digital vacuum-operated liquid sampler - A programmable liquid sampler for obtaining and digitally analyzing multiple, sequential samples in real time from an external source of liquid to be analyzed comprises an adaptive feedback algorithm for correcting sample weight measurements occasioned by vacuum delays. A sampling assembly receives and at least temporarily stores a sample drawn by suction through an air port that can also pressurize the chamber. A load cell determines sample mass through a logic controller that implements adaptive feedback by recognizing a desired target sample size, requesting an initial sample, and measuring the initial sample size. A variable scaling factor is derived by comparing the target sample size to said measured sample size and the subsequent requesting size is scaled. Samples can be stored in multiple compartments of a radial table that is indexed by the computer software for proper sample control. | 04-23-2009 |
