Patent application numberDescriptionPublished
20120129648INTEGRATED HYDRAULIC HYBRID DRIVETRAIN SYSTEM - A hybrid drivetrain for a motor vehicle includes an automated mechanical transmission (AMT) having an output shaft. The drivetrain includes an alternative energy source including a motor and an energy storage unit and two torque transfer arrangements. The first transfer arrangement is separate from engageable gear sets of the AMT for transferring torque from the output shaft to a motor when the energy storage unit is being charged and for transferring torque from the motor to the output shaft when the energy storage unit is being discharged. Additionally, an alternative energy source clutch for selectively coupling the first torque transfer arrangement to the output shaft is included. The second torque transfer arrangement is for transferring torque from the output shaft to a driven axle of the motor vehicle. At least one of the first and second torque transfer arrangements has different first and second torque transfer ratios.05-24-2012

Patent application numberDescriptionPublished
20110082505IMPLANT SYSTEM AND MINIMALLY INVASIVE METHOD FOR IMMOBILIZING ADJACENT VERTEBRAL BODIES - A spinal implant system for use in immobilizing adjacent vertebral bodies in a minimally invasive manner, including a pair of implants having lengths {sufficient so that one of the ends extend outside of a patient's body when the implants are installed. Each implant has a pair of opposed elongated posts which in conjunction with an orthogonally arranged support surface define a transverse opening for receiving a stabilizing rod. A cap having upper and lower surfaces is associated with each implant, each cap and it's associated post has means for advancing the cap along the posts toward the support surface to lock a stabilizing rod therebetween. The rod is pivotally coupled to one of the caps so that the rod, when pivoted, will extend between the transverse openings in adjacently installed implants.04-07-2011
20110106159SPINAL FIXATION PLATE ASSEMBLY - A spinal fixation plate has inner and outer surfaces through which a pair of adjacent screw holes extend along generally parallel axii. The screw holes accommodate the heads of conventional bone screws while allowing the threaded shafts of the screws to pass therethrough. A recess extends into each screw hole for receiving a V-shaped latch having a pair of wings joined to a head via elastically deformable arms. The latch is moveable between a deployed position in which the wings extend into the screw holes to prevent a screw seated therein from backing out and a retracted position in which the wings arc retracted from the screw holes enabling the screws to be backed out of the plate.05-05-2011

Patent application numberDescriptionPublished
20110267340METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR MOTION CORRECTION AND IMAGE ENHANCEMENT FOR OPTICAL COHERENCE TOMOGRAPHY - Images of an object, such as OCT scans of a human eye, can include distortions and data gaps due to relative motion of the object and the image acquisition device. Methods and systems for correction of such distortions and data gaps are described herein. Motion-corrected data is arrived at by applying three-dimensional transforms to input three-dimensional data sets that represent at least partially overlapping regions of the imaged object. The three dimensional transforms are computed based on an objective function that accounts for similarity between the transformed three-dimensional data sets and the estimated motion of the object relative to an imaging instrument. Methods and systems described herein advantageously eliminate the need for postulated assumptions and reliance on landmarks and are capable of filling data gaps, thereby producing high quality, undistorted images of objects subject to movement during imaging. Multiple motion-corrected data sets can be merged or combined to produce a data set with improved image quality.11-03-2011
