| 20080221677 | Artificial eye socket system and method - An artificial eye socket for use in the mounting of artificial eye is disclosed. The artificial eye socket is of substantially unitary construction and made from a flexible material such as rubber. The artificial eye socket comprises an outer base surface; an inner base surface; a substantially contiguous outer sclera surface which extends from the outer base surface to an iris knife edge to and from an iris opening in said socket; and a substantially contiguous inner cavity surface which extends from said inner base surface to said iris knife edge to form said iris opening in said socket and a cavity within said socket. An artificial eye may be inserted into said cavity and secured in a substantially fixed position by the inner base surface and the cavity surface. Methods for manufacturing and mounting the artificial eye socket and cleaning the surface of the artificial eye are also disclosed. | 09-11-2008 |
| 20090186554 | Pad printing with vitreous enamels - An improved ink composition and method for printing such inks on smooth, flat, curved uneven and/or irregular surfaces and substrates is disclosed. The ink may comprise a vitreous enamel in dry powder form; a clear vinyl based ink; and a thinner, wherein the ink is able to be utilized in the printing of images on glass, glass-like, ceramic, metal, metal-like, or other such substrates. The inks and method of printing the inks may be used in the manufacture of artificial eyes or other substrates. Such artificial eyes may comprise a glass, glass-like, ceramic, or other such substrate, and graphical or decorative inks which are bonded to the substrate. Generally, the decorative ink is applied to the inner or convex surface of the substrate, preferably by pad printing techniques and subjected to heat which bonds the ink to the surface of the substrate. The decorative inks are highly resistant to physical wear, separation from the substrate, chemical reaction, and other degradation. Thus, the inks of this invention do not require the use of a protective or barrier layer or other coating to achieve such resistance and durability. | 07-23-2009 |

| 20100262245 | Intervertebral spacer - Disclosed is a delivery system for an intervertebral spacer and a bone grafting material in the form of a unitary device which comprises a spacer disengagingly attached to a hollow handle. The handle comprises a chamber and bone grafting material-advancing means within the chamber for introducing the bone grafting material from the chamber into and around the spacer and the intervertebral spaces. The handle is disengageable from the spacer after serving its purpose of facilitating placement of the spacer and the discharge of the bone grafting material into the spacer and the intervertebral space. | 10-14-2010 |
| 20110004255 | BONE JOINING APPARATUS AND METHOD - Provided is a bone joining device suitable for joining a first bone piece to a second bone piece. Also provided is a method of joining a first bone piece with a second bone piece in a living mammal. The method comprises inserting the above bone joining device between the first bone piece and the second bone piece. | 01-06-2011 |
| 20110230885 | DYNAMIC BONE PLATE - A plate for adjusting the position of a first piece of bone with respect to a second piece of bone, comprising a first section comprising a first upper exterior surface, a first lower exterior surface, a first outer edge, a first distal end, a first coupling end across the first section from the first distal end, at least one first section bone screw hole, and a first bone screw in the at least one first section bone screw hole, a second section comprising a second upper exterior surface, a second lower exterior surface, a second outer edge, a second distal end, a second coupling end across the second section from the second distal end, at least one second section bone screw hole, and a second bone screw in the at least one second section bone screw hole, and a gear deposed between the first section and the second section. | 09-22-2011 |

| 20090208682 | Polyester Film Having Latent Shrink Properties and Process for Producing Same - A film layer is disclosed that is capable of shrinking when subjected to energy, such as heat. The film layer, for instance, can be formed and then stretched in one or two directions at a relatively low temperature. In particular, the film is stretched while the film layer is at a temperature near the glass transition temperature of the polymer used to form the film. Drawing the film at a relatively low temperature has been found to improve the shrink properties of the film. In one embodiment, the film layer is comprised of a non-modified polyester, such as polyethylene terephthalate. For example, the polyethylene terephthalate can be made by reacting terephthalic acid with ethylene glycol or polyethylene glycol. | 08-20-2009 |

| 20110308980 | MAGNETIZED HAND TOOLS - The magnetized hand tools each include a sleeve of resilient material disposed over each handle or the base of the tool. One or more magnets are installed between the tool handle(s) and the resilient grip(s) covering the handle(s). Alternatively, the tool may have one or more magnets installed in the base, i.e., the drive attachment end, of a socket, with a sleeve being applied over the base of the socket to retain the magnet(s). The socket sleeve has a passage therethrough for the conventional square drive of the ratchet or other tool used to drive the socket. The magnets are recessed into the base of the socket to allow the overlying sleeve portion to lie immediately adjacent to the surface of the socket base, and may be inset into recesses in the tool handles and/or positively attached thereto for more positive retention. | 12-22-2011 |

| 20090008411 | WEARABLE CHEMCIAL DISPENSER - Disclosed herein are wearable devices for dispensing insect repellents, fragrances, and/or other chemicals along the outside of the clothing of a human, to avoid the need to apply such chemicals directly to clothing or to human's skin. The devices have an on/off switch that automatically controls a shutter which enables and restricts air flow, while also controlling fan operation and covering of a use-up cue. The device also is designed to prevent fan operation when an impregnated slab is not present. Also disclosed are preferred refills for use with such devices. | 01-08-2009 |
| 20100270393 | Wearable Chemical Dispenser - Disclosed herein are wearable devices for dispensing insect repellents, fragrances, and/or other chemicals along the outside of the clothing of a human, to avoid the need to apply such chemicals directly to clothing or to human's skin. The devices have an on/off switch that automatically controls a shutter which enables and restricts air flow, while also controlling fan operation and covering of a use-up cue.

| 20110038761 | Wearable Chemical Dispenser - Wearable devices for dispensing insect repellents, fragrances, and/or other chemicals along the outside of the clothing of a human are disclosed. They are of the type that are clipped onto a belt or the like, and use a powered fan to dispense active. They are configured with fan rotor arrangements to minimize power use while still achieving acceptable air flow rates. These changes permit use of smaller batteries and more compact arrangements for battery positioning. This in turn permits a much more compact and lightweight construction to achieve the desired results. The devices are also provided with a rotatable clip structure to render use of the device more comfortable when the user is seated and to provide greater control over the direction of the dispensing. Further, they are provided with modified lids to facilitate active refill replacement. | 02-17-2011 |
