Bruce Edward Blough, Raleigh, NC US

Patent application numberDescriptionPublished
20120071560MONOAMINE REUPTAKE INHIBITORS - The invention provides bupropion analogue compounds capable of inhibiting the reuptake of one or more monoamines. The compounds may selectively bind to one or more monoamine transporters, including those for dopamine, norepinephrine, and serotonin. Such compounds may be used to treat conditions that are responsive to inhibition of the reuptake of monoamines, including addiction, depression, and obesity.03-22-2012

20100253029Round Baler Having Suspension Axle System - The ground wheels of a round baler are mounted on the chassis of the baler using a suspension system wherein a rigid axle of the system is spaced forwardly in offset relationship to spindles that journal the wheels for rotation. Fore-and-aft arms that connect the wheels with the axle are pivotally coupled with the axle in an independent manner so that each wheel can swing up and down relative to the chassis independently of the other wheel. Resilient cushion structure associated with the axle yieldably resists upward swinging of the wheel arms to thereby cushion the baler against jarring shock loads caused by abrupt terrain changes.10-07-2010
20110067374Baler Starter Roll - In one embodiment, a starter roll for a baler includes a continuous chevron-shaped rib provided on a contact surface of the starter roll. The rib may include a center portion arranged generally parallel to the longitudinal axis of the starter roll and outwardly and rearwardly extending wings. A plurality of ribs may be provided to form guide channels for guiding wrapping material that is provided to the bale and engaged by the starter roll outward to cover the edges of a bale and distribute the wrapping material over the lateral surface of the bale.03-24-2011

20090264316Ultraviolet/Ozone Patterned Organosilane Surfaces - UV/ozone treatment can be used to alter the hydrophobicity of organosilane coated surfaces. Methods are contemplated for producing micropatterned surfaces by coating a surface with an organosilane to produce an organosilane surface; and exposing the organosilane surface to ultraviolet light in the presence of oxygen, wherein the micropatterned organosilane surface is produced without the use of photoresist. Methods for producing substrate-micropatterned surfaces further are also contemplated. Suitable substrates include nucleotides, proteins, carbohydrates, and cells. The organosilane coated devices of the present invention may be used in, for example, arrays.10-22-2009

Patent application numberDescriptionPublished
20080234730Fixation Devices and Method of Repair - In one aspect, the present disclosure relates to a surgical device including an anchor body having an opening, the anchor body having a copolymer composition including polylactide-co-glycolide and calcium carbonate, wherein the calcium carbonate comprises more than 30% but less than 40% of the weight of the composition; and a flexible member passing through the opening, wherein deformation of the device occurs at body temperature. The present disclosure also relates to an oriented polymer material having a copolymer composition including a polylactide-co-glycolide and calcium carbonate, the calcium carbonate comprising more than 30% but less than 40% of the weight of the composition, wherein the material changes shape upon introduction to an environment having a temperature that is lower than a relaxation temperature of the material. A method of repairing soft tissue and other surgical devices are also disclosed.09-25-2008

20120059384Composite Interference Screws and Drivers - The present disclosure relates to a delivery device. The delivery device including a handle assembly, the assembly including a handle and a connector coupled to the handle, the connector including a channel and an opening to the channel; and a shaft coupled to the handle, the shaft including a proximal end and a distal end, the distal end including threads, grooves intersecting the threads, and a depth stop. Other delivery devices, screws, and delivery device/screw combinations are also disclosed.03-08-2012
