| 20090248028 | Systems and Methods of Anchoring Surgical Wires, Catheters, and other Medical Objects - The present disclosure generally provides systems and methods of anchoring surgical wires, catheters, leads, and other medical objects in an effective, efficient, and cost-sensitive manner. In one embodiment, the present disclosure could include a system to secure a medical object. The system could include a body having a first inner arm, a second inner arm, and a first outer arm. The first inner arm and the first outer arm could include a pronged structure. The system could also include a crossbar having a bore to receive a screw. The crossbar could be disposed between opposing surfaces of the first inner arm and the second inner arm and could be coupled to sliding grooves disposed along the opposing surfaces. When the screw is in an engaged position relative to the crossbar, the pronged structure could be configured to secure the medical object. | 10-01-2009 |
| 20100049287 | Porous medical dorsal column self anchoring lead - Implantable leads for use in, inter alia, neurostimulation therapy and that comprise a coagulant reservoir accessible by a coagulant access port are disclosed. The coagulant reservoir comprises a porous membrane. When such a lead is implanted into a patient, coagulant fluid (preferably blood plasma) is injected or otherwise inserted into the coagulant reservoir via the coagulant access port. Coagulant fluid can then flow out of the coagulant reservoir, via coagulant apertures in the porous membrane, into the patient's body. Systems comprising such leads are also disclosed, as are methods of manufacturing such systems and/or leads. | 02-25-2010 |

| 20080279663 | Multiple function landscaping system and method - A multiple function landscaping method and system is capable of operating with or without a dump box. A lower lift, crane or hoist can be utilized by itself or in combination with an upper positioned dump box. The novel usage of a single truck bed to achieve such functions as tree delivery, debris removal and top soil delivery enables landscaping to be more efficiently and economically performed, thus providing a significant advantage to the environment. | 11-13-2008 |
| 20080279668 | Utility truck combined with hoist, lift or crane elements - A utility truck is specially modified in order to accommodate a lift, hoist or crane unit. Portions of the utility truck elongated lateral tool boxes and compartments are cut out and shelving is provided to support the lower portions of the lift or crane. The design allows a load such as a large electrical or telephone box to be transported and unloaded by a single operator. The design enables protection from the harsher winter conditions of colder parts of the earth such as the north U.S. and Canada. | 11-13-2008 |
| 20080304946 | Parcel delivery truck with lift or hoist unit - A method of and system for delivering parcels or packages utilizing a parcel delivery truck. The method allows both lighter and heavier packages to be delivered by a single driver or operator. The method includes positioning a specially designed lift or hoist unit within a rear compartment of a parcel delivery truck. The left and right portions of the lift unit are mounted to left and right side walls of the rear compartment to provide maximum lifting efficiency and maximum space for heavier parcels carried in the rear compartment. | 12-11-2008 |
| 20080317579 | Flat-bed truck with crane, lift or hoist - A flat-bed truck system and method for efficiently delivering and unloading items using special crane, lift or hoist elements. The cranes are foldable downward into a horizontal position. Lower plural and parallel drive elements are used to drive upper pivoting arms which are connected by a cross-bar element. The cranes are designed with a low center of gravity so they may be positioned at various points around the bed of the truck. The lower plural drive elements are fixed in a horizontal position by brackets which may be easily applied and removed. | 12-25-2008 |
| 20120027549 | Truck bed with tipping platform and lift - A method of performing landscaping or construction work which utilizes portions of a known lift, crane or hoist unit in a novel way. Angled knuckle portions of the lift are modified to include reinforced eyelets or equivalent structures. A platform is hingedly mounted to the rear of a truck bed and also includes reinforced eyelet structures. Cables are provided between the lift eyelets and the platform eyelets to enable raising and lowering of the platform to conduct loading and unloading operations. A dump box for transporting soil or other products may be utilized in the system and is mounted between upper drive elements of the lift, crane or hoist. | 02-02-2012 |
