20120179619 | Method for Recouping Tuition Discounts - A tuition advantage program incorporating an award offered to students via a promissory note, and having an original principal balance that replaces a small part of the institutional tuition discount that the institution extends to the student. The principal is a reduction against tuition, and it is not delivered to students in the form of a payment. Extension of the principal therefore results in no direct expense to the institution, as it is merely a transformation of a discount that otherwise would have been granted to the student in the form of institutional aid award. Repayment of the tuition advantage funds is not required until after the student separates from the institution, such as by graduation. Upon separation and timely repayment of the first 75% of the original principal balance, the remaining 25% of the original principal is forgiven, resulting in an effective annual percentage rate of under 1.0%. | 07-12-2012 |

20110281350 | Tissue Processing System and Method - A tissue processing system includes a tray and a processing component. The processing component has teeth configured to dice, mince, and mix the tissue in the tray. In some versions, teeth of a rotary member mesh with teeth of a stationary member, such that the tissue is ground between the meshing teeth. The rotary member may be moved in an orbital path relative to the stationary member. In some versions, the teeth of two rotary members mesh together, and the rotary members are rotated in opposite directions to grind the tissue. The rotary members may also be alternatingly moved up and down to perform initial dicing on the tissue. Once the tissue has been processed, the tissue may then be used in a therapeutic manner, such as by being incorporated with a scaffold and then implanted in the same patient from whom the tissue was originally harvested. | 11-17-2011 |
20110282372 | Tissue Dicing and Particle Separation Device - A tissue dicing and separation device comprises a housing having an interior that receives tissue for dicing and separation. The device includes a blade assembly connected to a motor and solenoid. The solenoid reciprocates the blade assembly while the motor clocks the blade assembly during each reciprocation cycle. This reciprocating and clocking action of the blade assembly dices and/or minces the tissue. The housing is filled with a fluid and then the blade assembly is continuously rotated to create a vortex within the housing. The vortex causes the diced tissue particles to separate by particle size. Outlets at different positions along the housing permit withdrawal of a slurry of fluid and tissue particles with the tissue particles having a desired size range. The obtained slurry may be used in conjunction with a fistula plug treatment device and method. | 11-17-2011 |

The safety switch is moveable between a locked and an unlocked position. The safety switch prevents operation of the actuating arm when the safety switch is in the locked position. The safety switch enables operation of the actuating arm when the safety switch is in the unlocked position. The safety feature may prevent operation of the driver even when the safety switch is in the unlocked position or prevent operation of the safety switch. | 07-11-2013 |
20130175320 | RATCHETING FEATURE ON TISSUE STAPLE TRIGGER TO PREVENT PREMATURE JAW OPENING - A surgical instrument includes a body, a pivotable trigger, and a ratcheting assembly.

A release feature may be included to selectively disengage a second member of the ratcheting assembly from a first member. In some versions, the release feature may include a rotation knob or a slidable handle. In another configuration, the ratcheting assembly may have a first member coupled to an actuator and a second member coupled to the body. The assembly may include a lock member coupled to the body that selectively engages a plurality of teeth disposed on the actuator. Alternatively, the assembly may include a pivotable pawl coupled to the actuator that engages one or more notches formed in the body. | 07-11-2013 |
