20080228187 | Oriented polymer implantable device and process for making same - A device is formed by the process into a bone screw or fastener, wherein the head has a degree of polymer alignment and strength, and wherein the shank has a higher degree of polymer alignment and strength. In practice of the present invention, the polymer slug is pressed into the die cavity by the actuation of ram press, causing the slug to conform to the die cavity. Through this process, the polymer molecular orientation is aligned to different degrees, in different zones of the device. | 09-18-2008 |
20100191292 | Oriented polymer implantable device and process for making same - A device is formed by a discontinuous process into a bone screw, plate, or fastener, wherein the device has a degree of polymer alignment and strength, and upon reheating above glass transition temperature of the polymer, the device remains dimensionally stable, as it maintains its dimensions, strength, and degree of polymer orientation. In practice of the present invention, the polymer slug is pressed into the die cavity by the actuation of ram press, causing the slug to conform to the die cavity. | 07-29-2010 |
20100305712 | COMPRESSED POROUS MATERIALS SUITABLE FOR IMPLANT - A high strength porous polymeric material manufactured by a compression process is disclosed. The material results in a network of interconnected collapsed pores, which forces thin overlapping walls and passages to be created. The network provides permeable access for fluid migration throughout the material. The strength and/or permeability are advantageous for medical devices and implants. | 12-02-2010 |
20130053850 | ORIENTED POLYMER IMPLANTABLE DEVICE AND PROCESS FOR MAKING SAME - A device is formed by a discontinuous process into a bone screw, plate, or fastener, wherein the device has a degree of polymer alignment and strength, and upon reheating above glass transition temperature of the polymer, the device remains dimensionally stable, as it maintains its dimensions, strength, and degree of polymer orientation. In practice of the present invention, the polymer slug is pressed into the die cavity by the actuation of ram press, causing the slug to conform to the die cavity. | 02-28-2013 |

20120108400 | HIGH INTENSITY REPETITIOUS TRAINING - High Intensity Repetitious Training (HIRT) is an exercise regimen consisting of approximately three minutes of intense exercise that puts an exerciser at the end of the anaerobic energy transfer system and prevents the exerciser from entering the aerobic energy transfer system. The HIRT Program exercise regimen subjects the muscles to high frequency intense muscle contractions for approximately three minutes to the point that the lactic system reaches a maximum followed by a period of rest for at least one to two minutes to restore creatinine and remove some of the lactate acid out of the blood stream. The HIRT exercise regimen enhances the benefits of lactate accumulation, post-exercise insulin and growth hormone release with lipolysis or fat reduction. | 05-03-2012 |
20120223258 | METAL NANOPARTICLES - Provided herein are metal nanoparticles, metal nanopowders, methods of synthesizing the same, and radiation shields using the same. | 09-06-2012 |
20130143724 | DOUBLE LOOP EXERCISE STRAP - An double loop exercise strap that includes both an outer strap anchored to a fixed object (e.g., a wall, rail or other fixed platform) and an inner strap that wraps firmly around a limb, extremity (e.g., hand or foot) or torso of the human body. The inner strap has two ends, a fixed end that may advantageously be sewn or attached to the outer strap and a free end that wraps around the human limb, extremity or torso and is threaded through an outer strap slot before being attached to the outside of the outer strap using VELCROâ„¢, buckles or other types of fasteners to thereby create a closed double loop system | 06-06-2013 |
