| 20080307555 | Combined multi-person and wheelchair protective covering and associated method - A combination multiple person and wheelchair protective covering includes first and second coextensively shaped ponchos. Such first and second ponchos are formed from water repellant material such that precipitation is prohibited from penetrating therethrough. The apparatus further includes a mechanism for removably attaching the second poncho to the first poncho, a mechanism for adjusting each of the first and second ponchos about the user head and the caregiver head respectively, and a mechanism for simultaneously securing each of the first and second ponchos respectively about the user body and the caregiver body and the existing wheelchair respectively during operating conditions. | 12-18-2008 |

| 20080300598 | Expandable Interbody Fusion Device - An expandable interbody fusion device includes superior and inferior endplates that are configured to receive a sequentially inserted stack of interlocking expansion members or wafers. The like-configured wafers include features on their top and bottom surfaces that interlock the wafers in multiple degrees of freedom so that the wafer stack is not disrupted when the fusion device is fully expanded. One of the interlocking features includes a plurality of prongs projecting from an upper surface of the wafers and into a recess defined in the lower surface of an adjacent previously inserted like-configured wafer. The prongs and recesses are configured to prevent retrograde movement of each new wafer in a direction opposite the direction of insertion. Other interlocking features prevent movement in the direction of insertion, transverse to the insertion direction and vertically within the stack. | 12-04-2008 |
| 20100179592 | SUTURE ANCHOR INSTALLATION SYSTEM AND METHOD - An apparatus for placement of a suture anchor having a suture connected thereto includes a handle dimensioned for engagement by the user and an elongated member connected to the handle and extending therefrom. The elongated member has an anchor mount for mounting a suture anchor. The handle includes a frame having a suture retainer adapted for retaining a suture, at least one cover releasably mounted to the frame to at least partially enclose the suture retainer and a release button mounted to the frame and movable to release the at least one cover from the frame to expose the suture portion. | 07-15-2010 |
| 20110004217 | Apparatus and Method for Injecting Fluent Material at a Distracted Tissue Site - A system and method is provided for distracting opposite surfaces from the interior of a bone, such as a vertebral body. A working channel cannula provides a working channel through which an inserter and an injection cannula can simultaneously pass. The inserter transports a plurality of wafers into the interior of the bone to form a load-bearing stack bearing against the opposite surfaces. The injection cannula is used to inject a fluent material into and/or around the stack. In certain embodiments, the fluent material is a load-bearing or hardenable material, such as bone cement. In other embodiments, the fluent material can be a BMP, HAP, or other osteo-inductive, osteo-conductive, or pharmaceutical compositions. A syringe containing the fluent material is engaged to the injection cannula and is operable to inject the fluent material into the vertebral body under controlled pressure. | 01-06-2011 |

| 20100089176 | CORRELATING PUSH FORCE AND STALK VIBRATION TO A PLANT'S SUSCEPTIBILITY TO ROOT LODGING - The present device enables measurement of the susceptibility of corn plants to root lodging. The device is used to push over a corn stalk and the force used to push over the stalk, and the vibration of the stalk caused by the push are recorded. As material breaks in the stalk, an accelerometer, measures stalk vibration response to the breaking events; the data is then recorded to allow quantitative measurements of the susceptibility of corn plants to root lodging. This allows meaningful comparisons of various hybrids at early stages of hybrid evaluation and advancement. | 04-15-2010 |
| 20110083518 | Correlating Push Force and Stalk Vibration to a Plant's Susceptibility to Root Lodging, Stalk/Stem Lodging and Brittle Snap (Broken Stems or Stalks) - The present device enables measurement of the susceptibility of plants to root lodging, stalk or stem lodging and brittle snap (broken stems or stalks). The device is used to push on a plant stalk or stem and the force used to push over the stalk/stem, and the vibration of the stalk/stem caused by the push are recorded. As material breaks in the stalk/stem, an accelerometer, measures stalk/stem vibration response to the breaking events; the data is then recorded to allow quantitative measurements of the susceptibility of plants to root lodging, stalk or stem lodging and brittle snap (broken stems or stalks). This allows meaningful comparisons of various hybrids or varieties at early stages of evaluation and advancement. | 04-14-2011 |
| 20110083519 | Correlating Push Force and Stalk Vibration to a Plant's Susceptibility to Stalk Lodging and Brittle Snap - The present device enables measurement of the susceptibility of corn plants to stalk lodging and brittle snap. The device is used to push over a corn stalk and the force used to push over the stalk, and the vibration of the stalk caused by the push are recorded. As material breaks in the stalk, an accelerometer, measures stalk vibration response to the breaking events; the data is then recorded to allow quantitative measurements of the susceptibility of corn plants to stalk lodging and brittle snap.

| 20110054969 | APPARATUS AND METHODS TO GAIN ACCESS TO AND EXTRACT INTACT IMMATURE EMBRYO FROM DEVELOPING MAIZE KERNELS OR SPECIFIC INTRENAL TISSUE OR STRUCTURE FROM ONE OR MORE SEEDS - A high throughput apparatus and method for gaining access to and extracting internal tissue or structure of interest from a seed or plurality of seed is disclosed. In one aspect, an apparatus utilizes means to expose the internal tissue or structure and means to separate at least some of the exposed internal tissue or structure for collection and evaluation. In one aspect, a method utilizes some force or action to expose the internal tissue or structure and some force or action to separate the internal tissue or structure. | 03-03-2011 |
