20100193093THERMITE COMPOSITIONS, ARTICLES AND LOW TEMPERATURE IMPACT MILLING PROCESSES FOR FORMING THE SAME - A process for the preparation of composite thermite particles, and thermite particles and consolidated objects formed from a plurality of pressed composite particles. The process includes providing one or more metal oxides and one or more complementary metals capable of reducing the metal oxide, and milling the metal oxide and the metal at a temperature below −50° C., such as cryomilling, to form a convoluted lamellar structure. The average layer thickness is generally between 10 nm and 1 μm. The molar proportions of the metal oxide and metal are generally within 30% of being stoichiometric for a thermite reaction.08-05-2010

20090317002INTRA-OPERATIVE SYSTEM FOR IDENTIFYING AND TRACKING SURGICAL SHARP OBJECTS, INSTRUMENTS, AND SPONGES - Intra-operative systems for identifying surgical sharp objects are provided. Aspects of the systems include an intra-operative imaging device for obtaining intra-operative surgical sharp object image data; and a surgical sharp object automated shape recognition module configured to identify a surgical sharp object from intra-operative surgical sharp object image data. Systems of the invention may further include additional components, such as surgical instrument and/or sponge identification and tracking devices. Systems of the invention find use in a variety of methods and applications, including tracking of surgical items during a surgical procedure.12-24-2009
20090318898VARIABLE DIAMETER SURGICAL DRAINS AND SHEATHS - Surgical drains and methods for using the same for draining a body cavity are provided. Aspects of the surgical drains of the invention include an elongated structure having a proximal end and a distal end and a lumen configured to drain a substance from the body cavity. The distal end is configured to be placed in a body cavity and change in diameter when present in the body cavity from a first diameter to a second diameter that is smaller than the first diameter, where the change in diameter is mediated by a diameter-varying element. Aspects of the invention further include sheaths configured to be disposed around surgical drains, such as surgical drains of the invention, and methods of using the surgical drains and sheaths. The devices and methods of the invention find use in a variety of applications.12-24-2009

Patent application numberDescriptionPublished
20080276762Torque transmission mechanism - A torque transmission mechanism comprises an outer body defining a cavity and an inner body located at least partially inside the cavity and able to rotate therein. A plurality of rollers located between the outer and inner bodies interact with cam surfaces so that rotation of the inner body in a first direction is substantially unimpeded but rotation in the opposite direction is prevented or impeded by interaction of rollers with one or more cam surfaces. One of the rollers is larger than at least one other roller and is located in a recess formed in one of the outer and inner bodies. In one embodiment the recess is formed in a part of the outer body which has a greater wall thickness, excluding the effect of the recess than the rest of the outer body, so that the larger roller is accommodated without adding bulk to the outer body.11-13-2008
