20150101478 | AIRCRAFT MISSILE LAUNCHER COVER - A cover for an empty rail missile launcher that can be used in flight. The cover is shaped to reflect radar signals transmitted by a radar transmitter away from the radar transmitter to reduce detectibility by radar. The cover may also be coated with radar absorbent material to reduce detectibility by radar. Hangers are used to mount the cover to the rail missile launcher. The cover is provided with a grounding mechanism to dissipate precipitation static. A restraint mechanism is provided to prevent the cover from inadvertently sliding off the rail missile launcher. | 04-16-2015 |

20100037507 | REVERSIBLY DISENGAGING SLIDABLE STRIKE INDICATOR, POSITIONING SYSTEM, AND METHOD OF USING SAME - Particular aspects provide novel strike indicators attachable to fishing lines, that are reversibly disengagable therefrom and thereafter slidably along the line. Particular embodiments comprise: a buoyant main body having an axial channel with corresponding end surface openings; an retention member seat (e.g., groove, ridge, etc.) running around the main body surface; and at least one line retention member receivable and retainable by the seat, and operative with the seat to retain a line passing therebetween at two points. The retention member is displaceable from the seat by sufficient line tension, thereby disengaging the slidable strike indicator. Particular embodiments comprise two strike indicator stop members attachable at user-selectable line positions, and operative to delimit a slidable range of a disengaged slidable strike indicator. Novel methods for fishing, with a slidable reversibly detachable indicator, at a depth greater than the length of a fishing rod are presented. | 02-18-2010 |
20100107470 | COMPOSITIONS AND METHODS FOR ENGAGING LINES - Particular aspects provide devices and methods for adjustably and reversibly engaging a line (e.g., fishing lines, ropes, string, cable, wire, cords) at an engagement position and/or for demarcating positions/spans along a line. The inventive line-stop members are reversibly disengagable, and thereby slidably adjustable and positionable along a line, and can be used to define a user-selectable range or span. Particular embodiments comprise: an elongated line-clamping member having at least one pair of line-clamping arms and having a longitudinal axial bore suitable to allow slidable passage of a line therethrough; and a cylindrical engagement collar having a collar channel therethrough and slidably positionable along the line-clamping member, and suitable and positionable to reversibly hold the line-clamping member in a line-clamping/engagement position, and suitable and positionable to reversibly disengage the line-clamping member from the line-clamping position to reversibly disengage a line. Preferred line-stop embodiments comprise an accessory attachment member or collar. | 05-06-2010 |
20100293835 | REVERSIBLY DISENGAGING SLIDABLE STRIKE INDICATOR, POSITIONING SYSTEM, AND METHOD OF USING SAME - Particular aspects provide novel strike indicators and line-stop members that are attachable to fishing lines, and that are reversibly disengagable therefrom and thereafter slidably along the line. Particular embodiments comprise: a buoyant main body having an axial channel with corresponding end surface openings; a retention member seat in the main body surface; and at least one line retention member receivable and retainable by the seat, and operative with the seat to retain a line passing therebetween at two points. The retention member is displaceable from the seat by sufficient line tension, thereby disengaging the slidable strike indicator. Particular embodiments comprise at least one line-stop member attachable at a user-selectable line position, and operative to attach, or delimit a slidable range of a disengaged slidable strike indicator. Novel methods for fishing, with a slidable reversibly detachable indicator, at a depth greater than the length of a fishing rod are presented. | 11-25-2010 |

20120071878 | FRACTURE MANAGEMENT TOOL AND METHOD - A bone fragment manipulating tool with reversible pulling mechanism generally comprises an elongated shaft defining a shaft diameter and a drill bit at a distal end. An elongated tubular housing having a housing diameter greater than the shaft diameter encloses the shaft. As the shaft axially retracts in the direction of the tubular housing, a radially protruding structure secures the shaft to a chipped fragment of the bone. The tool then manipulates the fragments to their proper orientations. A method of manipulating a fragment of a fractured bone using a tool generally comprises drilling through the bone, deploying a radially protruding structure to secure the shaft to a chipped fragment, manipulating the chipped fragment to a proper orientation with respect to a primary fragment such that the fragments are aligned and joined, undeploying the radially protruding structure, and removing the tool in a locked, slender configuration from the bone. | 03-22-2012 |

20080281235 | Angular Displacement Sensor for Joints And Associated System and Methods - A system for monitoring joint position following introduction of a joint prosthesis in a patient includes a first angular movement sensor positioned adjacent a first side of a bodily joint of a patient and a second angular movement sensor positioned adjacent a second, opposite side of the bodily joint. A receiver can receive data from the angular movement sensors. A processor in signal communication with the receiver has a comparator for determining whether the received data from the sensors indicate that movement of the bodily joint is less than a predetermined limit. An indicator in signal communication with the comparator is provided for warning the patient if the joint movement is determined by the comparator to be above the predetermined limit. The received data can be tracked over time. | 11-13-2008 |

20120234082 | Systems and Methods for Analyzing Liquids under Vacuum - Systems and methods for supporting a liquid against a vacuum pressure in a chamber can enable analysis of the liquid surface using vacuum-based chemical analysis instruments. No electrical or fluid connections are required to pass through the chamber walls. The systems can include a reservoir, a pump, and a liquid flow path. The reservoir contains a liquid-phase sample. The pump drives flow of the sample from the reservoir, through the liquid flow path, and back to the reservoir. The flow of the sample is not substantially driven by a differential between pressures inside and outside of the liquid flow path. | 09-20-2012 |
