Patent application numberDescriptionPublished
20090245556HEARING DEVICE HAVING ONE OR MORE IN-THE-CANAL VIBRATING EXTENSIONS - A bone conduction device for enhancing the hearing of a recipient, comprising: a sound input element configured to receive an acoustic sound signal; an electronics module configured generate an electrical signal representing the acoustic sound signal; a transducer configured to generate mechanical forces representing the electrical signal for delivery to the recipient's bone; and one or more vibration extensions mechanically coupled to the transducer and configured to be inserted into the ear canal of the recipient, and further configured to vibrate in order to transmit the mechanical forces generated from the transducer to the recipient's bone.10-01-2009
20090247810CUSTOMIZABLE MASS ARRANGEMENTS FOR BONE CONDUCTION DEVICES - A bone conduction device, comprising: a sound input element configured to receive an acoustic sound signal; an electronics module configured generate an electrical signal representing said acoustic sound signal; and a transducer configured to generate motion of a mass component based on said electrical signal so as to generate one or more mechanical forces resulting in one or more of motion and vibration of a recipient's skull thereby causing sound perception, wherein one or more of the size and shape of said mass component is selectable at least partially based on a desired mechanical force to be generated by said transducer.10-01-2009

20100057398MONITORING ACTIVITY OF A USER IN LOCOMOTION ON FOOT - One disclosed method involves using at least one device supported by a user while the user is in locomotion on foot during an outing to automatically measure amounts of time taken by the user to complete respective distance intervals. During the outing, data representing the automatically measured amounts of time may be automatically stored in memory of the least one device. Another disclosed method involves using at least one device supported by a user while the user is in locomotion on foot during an outing to automatically identify occasions on which a user completes respective distance intervals. During the outing, the at least one device may display at least one of an average pace of the user since a most recently completed distance interval, an average speed of the user since the most recently completed distance interval, and a projected time to complete a current distance interval based on monitored performance since the most recently completed distance interval. Yet another disclosed method involves using at least one device supported by a user while the user is in locomotion on foot during an outing to monitor a distance traveled by the user. An input to the at least one device may be received that specifies a goal distance for the outing, and the at least one device may determine a remaining distance to be traveled to complete one of the specified goal distance for the outing and a calculated fraction of the specified goal distance for the outing.03-04-2010
20100097879APPARATUS AND METHOD FOR OPTIMIZING REACTION TIME FOR CURABLE MATERIAL - An apparatus and method for optimizing reaction for curable material is disclosed. In operating rooms that are relatively colder, heating curable material can increase the reaction time. A heater may be placed in thermal contact with the curable material to heat the curable material.04-22-2010
20100100099CURABLE MATERIAL TRANSFER AND DELIVERY DEVICE - An apparatus and method for transferring curable material to an injector to convenient deliver the curable material to a patient. The apparatus contains a mixing chamber for mixing a liquid component and a powder component to form a curable material. The curable material is transferred to an injector to when the mixing chamber and injector are moved toward each other.04-22-2010

20100301071PERISTALTIC PUMP - A peristaltic pump assembly and system that facilitates reliable and efficient engagement and removal of a flexible tube. A stator is pivotally retained on a structure and cooperatively operated by a lever arm and cam to engage and disengage the stator from the tube and a corresponding rotor. The stator pivots at a point distal from a point of rotation of the rotor and the lever arm moves about a fixed rotation axis to engage and disengage the stator with the tube relative to the rotor.12-02-2010

20110020503AGGLOMERATES AND PREPARATION THEREOF - Agglomerates of cereals are held together by a binding matrix, rather than sugars, and are formed by providing a dry mix of cereals in particular form, such as flakes, and starch-based matrix—forming material, optionally along with other components. These are then mixed with water to hydrate the binding matrix and allow it to swell to form a paste and to bind the bulk materials together. The resulting blend is extruded to an outlet using a relatively open or no die so that any back pressure and heat generated is sufficient to permit the matrix material to set and bind the particular cereal without excess heat. The agglomerate extruded from the extruder are cut into pieces of the desired size and dried to final desired moisture content.01-27-2011
