20090043392Artificial Spinal Disc - An artificial disc prosthesis is provided. The prosthesis of the present invention enables spinal segment alignment by having a variable height across its surface. The variable height is achieved by an asymmetric artificial nucleus or by at least one variable height end plate.02-12-2009

20100160980SPINAL FIXATION ASSEMBLY - A locking mechanism (06-24-2010
20100331885PERCUTANEOUS SYSTEM FOR DYNAMIC SPINAL STABILIZATION - Bone anchoring assemblies for use with minimally invasive surgery (MIS) techniques for dynamic stabilization of the spine, together with placement systems for use in such techniques are provided.12-30-2010
20110082556Artificial Spinal Disc - An artificial disc prosthesis is provided. The prosthesis enables spinal segment alignment by having a variable height across its surface. The variable height is achieved by an asymmetric artificial nucleus or by at least one variable height end plate. The prosthesis may have a central keel on one end plate and an offset pair of keels on a second end plate. The nucleus may engage a slot or trough in an inner surface of an end plate. The trough can be open on the posterior or anterior end to allow the nucleus to slide into the trough without undue distraction of adjacent vertebrae. The nucleus can be prevented from moving out of the trough by inserting a stop in the trough.04-07-2011

20100028744GAS DIFFUSION LAYER WITH LOWER GAS DIFFUSIVITY - A gas diffusion layer for use in fuel cells comprises a fiber and non-fiber material in a ratio such that the water vapor diffusion transport resistance is greater than 0.8 s/cm measured at 80 C and 150 kPa absolute gas pressure when the gas diffusion layer has a thickness less than or equal to 300 microns. Another gas diffusion layer comprises a fiber and non-fiber material in a ratio such that the water vapor diffusion transport resistance is lower than 0.4 s/cm measured at 80 C and 150 kPa absolute gas pressure when the gas diffusion layer has a thickness greater than or equal to 100 microns. Fuel cells incorporating the gas diffusion layers are also provided.02-04-2010
