| 20090128110 | Compact Frequency Compensation Circuit And Method For A Switching Regulator Using External Zero - A compensation circuit in a monolithic switching regulator controller being incorporated in a closed loop feedback system of a switching regulator includes error amplifier having an output terminal with an output impedance and a degeneration resistance terminal coupled to a first terminal of the switching regulator controller. The compensation circuit includes a first resistor and a first capacitor connected in series between the output terminal of the error amplifier and a ground potential. In operation, the first capacitor and the output impedance of the error amplifier operate to introduce a pole and the first resistor and the first capacitor operate to introduce a first zero in the closed loop feedback system. When a second capacitor is coupled to the first terminal of the switching regulator controller, a second zero is introduced in the closed loop feedback system. The second capacitor is an off-chip capacitor formed external to the monolithic switching regulator controller. | 05-21-2009 |

| 20100185290 | FLEXIBLE CHAIN IMPLANTS AND INSTRUMENTATION - A flexible chain implant for insertion into an interior volume of a vertebral body. The implant may be implanted in an insertion position for sliding through a cannula and is flexible for packing into the interior volume in an implanted configuration. The implant randomly separates in the implanted configuration. The implant includes a top member and a bottom member, wherein the top and bottom members are coupled to one another at a coupled portion. The top and bottom members preferably each include an inner surface such that the inner surfaces include a plurality of alternating projections and recesses so that the projections are received within the recesses in an insertion position. Alternatively, the implant may include a plurality of substantially non-flexible bodies and a plurality of substantially flexible links interconnecting the bodies. The non-flexible bodies include a plurality of facets and/or abutment surfaces. | 07-22-2010 |

| 20110144766 | Allograft Bone Plugs, Systems and Techniques - The present invention provides a system, device, instruments and methods for inserting and/or improving the holding strength and purchase of a bone screw, bone pin, or bone dowel in bone. Embodiments include monolithic allograft tissue forms, multi-piece allograft tissue forms, distally expandable portions, partially and fully demineralized portions, and flexible connecting portions. Advantages of the allograft tissue forms of the present invention include improved pedicle screw blackout strength and improved filling of bone voids. Methods for making and instruments and techniques for inserting the augmentation device, system and screws or pins are also disclosed. | 06-16-2011 |

| 20090306715 | INTERSPINOUS PROCESS SPACER - An interspinous process spacer is generally rectangular and may have an upper face that generally opposes a lower face, front and back sides that generally oppose each other, an end side, and a nose that generally opposes the end side. The spacer preferably has rounded edges between the upper face and the front, end, and back sides and between the lower face and the front, end, and back sides. The nose of the spacer is preferably asymmetrical and tapers integrally, distally, and inwardly from the first and second faces to form a generally pointed or rounded distal tip. A spacer may be inserted laterally into the interspinous space through a small, posterior midline incision, allowing the preservation of the supraspinous ligament. One or more spacers may be placed between spinous processes of adjacent vertebrae, and result in distraction of the spinous processes which may limit extension of the spine. Implantation of an interspinous process may inhibit or prevent the narrowing of the spinal canal and neural foramen at the level of treatment, thereby relieving pain symptoms. Preservation of the supraspinous ligament may provide additional stability, for example by keeping the implant from migrating posteriorly. | 12-10-2009 |
| 20110160773 | BONE-DERIVED SPACER ASSEMBLY - An allograft interspinous spacer for implantation into an interspinous space located between spinous process of adjacent vertebrae. The spacer preferably includes a body, a core and a plurality of deployable retainers. The body may be operatively associated with the plurality of deployable retainers. In use, after the body has been inserted into the interspinous space, the plurality of retainers is deployed so that they prevent migration of the spacer. The core is preferably sized and configured to be inserted and/or moved into operatively engagement with the body to deploy the plurality of retainers. | 06-30-2011 |
