20110214291Utensil and method for retrieving and applying spreadable food - A utensil has first and second arm members of substantially the same size and shape. Each arm member has a head section and a handle section. The head sections are concave or scoop-like in configuration and are connected by a rotatable hinge which permits rotation of the arm members in relation to each other. The head section of the first arm members has elongated openings through which spreadable food can be expelled. The head section of the second arm member is solid. With the first arm member nested within the second arm member, spreadable food is scooped onto the utensil, specifically on the top surface of the first arm member. Rotation of the second arm member around the first arm member such that the second arm member is now nested within the first arm member, causes the food to be expelled from the openings in the first arm member, where the food can be easily spread on bread and or food items.09-08-2011

20110200193METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR CONTROLLING THE RECHARGING OF ELECTRIC VEHICLES AND DETECTING STOLEN VEHICLES AND VEHICULAR COMPONENTS - In a system for preventing automobile theft, select automotive components are embedded with digital information and devices, including a unique public key, a unique private key, a decryption/encryption module, and a network address. Upon assembly of a vehicle, the components form addressable nodes of that vehicle. Relevant digital information of all components is recorded in a proprietary, highly secure data base at the time of manufacture, and updated for vehicular repairs. Only registered agents may access the data base or submit updates to the federal network. During refueling or re-charging of a vehicle, a digital handshake compares public keys of the vehicular components to the proprietary data base, and confirms the integrity of at least some components by a public-key/private-key challenge and response. If components have been reported stolen, or other irregularities are detected in the vehicle's network of components during the hand shake process, the vehicle is disabled, and a message is automatically transmitted to one or more law enforcement agencies, identifying the vehicle and its location.08-18-2011

20100319341Non-linear actuator system and method - An embodiment of a system and method for moving an object in one axis includes one or more fluid inflatable containers which are arranged to transmit fluid pressure to a plunger, such that a flexible membrane of the fluid inflatable container engages with the plunger and forms a rolling lobe in response to changes in volume. The fluid inflatable containers are enclosed within an enclosure or drum, and a shaft runs axially through the center of the enclosure. The system further includes one or more control valves operably connected to the one or more fluid inflatable containers for controlling the volume of fluid in the one or more containers. By changing the volume of fluid in the one or more containers the object is moved. In an embodiment an arced plunger is used to assist in creating the rolling lobe.12-23-2010
20110114080Multi-Axis Metamorphic Actuator and Drive System and Method - An embodiment of a system and method for moving an object in two or more axes includes one or more fluid containers, each of which is directly or indirectly in physical contact with the object. A volume of a fluid is placed in the one or more fluid containers. The system further includes a fluid mover operably connected to the one or more fluid containers for moving the fluid into the one or more containers, and a fluid volume control for controlling the volume of fluid in the one or more containers. By changing the volume of fluid in the one or more containers, the containers are variably pressurized, thereby moving the object in one or more axis. The object may be supported at one or more pivot points that allow the object to be moved in multiple axes.05-19-2011
20110219759Single-Axis Drive System and Method - A system for moving an object in one axis that creates highly dispersed but precisely controlled mechanical force to support, manipulate, and maintain an object, tool or application in precise alignment or orientation with respect to a stationary or moving target is disclosed. The system includes one or more fluid containers within a cylindrical enclosure or drum, and a shaft running through longitudinal axis of the drum. The shaft is coupled to the drum by rotating assemblies so that the drum may rotate around the shaft or the draft may rotate inside the drum. The fluid inflatable containers are arranged in a inside the drum around the shaft so that each container exerts expansive force between a vane fixed to the drum and a vane fixed to the shaft. A volume of the fluid may be placed in the one or more fluid containers by control systems. By changing the volume of fluid in the one or more containers, forces are exerted on the vanes and the object is moved.09-15-2011

20110219511GARMENT WITH SURGICAL DRAINAGE SUPPORT - A garment with surgical drainage support includes a sleeveless shirt with an opening that extends from a neck of the shirt to the bottom of the shirt along the front of the shirt to define a closure between a first front side of the shirt and a second front side of the shirt. The garment further includes a plurality of ties along the front of the shirt. Each of the plurality of ties includes a first tape attached to the first front side of the shirt and a second tape attached to the second front side of the shirt. The tapes of each tie are tied together to close the closure and untied to open the closure. The garment also includes at least one tie positioned on the shirt a distance away from the closure. The at least one tie includes a first tape and a second tape that are tied together to secure a drain bulb of a surgical drain to the garment.09-15-2011

20100125300FIXATION PLATE FOR USE IN THE LAPIDUS APPROACH - The present disclosure generally relates to fixation plates for use in correcting Hallux Valgus deformities under the Lapidus approach. The plate includes holes defined therethrough in such a way to facilitate multiplanar stability across the metatarsocuneiform joint. The plate is further sized and shaped to approximate the natural anatomic contour of the bone segments surrounding the metatarsocuneiform joint. Related methods for using the Lapidus approach to correct Hallux Valgus deformities are also described.05-20-2010
20110160728Intramedullary Compression Nail and Related Method for Jones Fractures - An intramedullary fixation device and related method for treatment of a Jones fracture. An exemplary device may comprise a rod having a distal section and a threaded proximal section, and means for securing the distal section within a first bone portion on a distal side of a fracture site. The device may also comprise a compression collar threadably received over the proximal section for providing compression to the fracture site, the compression collar comprising a threaded portion on its exterior surface configured to engage an interior of a second bone portion on a proximal side of the fracture site. In addition, the device includes an anti-rotational system engaging the compression collar to prevent rotation of the compression collar from its position providing the compression to the fracture site.06-30-2011
