20090107380PERSONAL WATERCRAFT HAVING AN ADJUSTABLE SUSPENSION - A personal watercraft has a hull and sub-deck (HSD) assembly, a deck above the sub-deck, and a suspension member pivotally connected therebetween. A suspension element, including a spring assembly, is connected between any two of the deck, the HSD assembly, and the suspension member. The spring assembly has first and second portions having first and second spring rates respectively. The second spring rate is greater than the first. A controller controls a lifting device to set an initial distance between the deck and the sub-deck to one of a first distance and a second distance greater than the first. The suspension element moves through a majority of a full stroke with the first portion of the spring assembly at least partially expanded when the initial distance is the first distance, and with the first portion of the spring assembly fully compressed when the initial distance is the second distance.04-30-2009

20100042019APPARATUS AND METHODS FOR THE DESTRUCTION OF ADIPOSE TISSUE - Methods and apparatus are described for modifying unwanted tissue for cosmetic reasons. The methods provide a non-invasive manner to perform body contouring by destroying adipose tissue while simultaneously causing collagen contraction in a single procedure so that as destroyed tissue is removed from a treatment volume, the volume shrinks gradually to maintain the skin tone of the treatment area. The procedure may involve multiple treatments to the same treatment area or location.02-18-2010

20110077559ULTRASOUND THERAPY HEAD WITH MOVEMENT CONTROL - A therapy head for use in HIFU procedures is described. The therapy head has an enclosure with a window, an energy applicator and a means of moving the energy applicator within the enclosure. The therapy head uses motors and actuators to move the energy applicator, usually an ultrasound transducer, inside the enclosure. A controller is provided either internally or externally that allows the therapy head to identify and distinguish locations where the therapy head should be to radiate energy into a patient. The controller uses the motors and actuators to move the energy applicator into the desired locations.03-31-2011
20110140573TRANSDUCER WITH SHIELD - A physical shield placed on the face of a high intensity focused ultrasound transducer for medical applications is described. The shield may be shaped or angled to match a particular pattern of mechanical or acoustic energy that may damage the transducer during operation. The shield may be ablative, replaceable or modified as needed. Methods of manufacturing a transducer with a shield are also disclosed.06-16-2011

20090123093BAG WITH REINFORCED HANDLES AND PROCESS OF MAKING THE BAG - There is described a bag for being manipulated by a lifting element, including a tube portion defined by at least two opposed side walls and two opposed end sections. The first end section closes the tube portion for defining a cavity and the second end section includes at least one flap extending from one of the side walls to be connected to the other side wall. There is a slot defined beneath and parallel to the flap in between the opposed side walls for receiving the lifting element, the flap and the slot thereby defining a handle. There is also one or more reinforcement members, such as a strip of HDPE or the like, each applied to and extending between the flap and the corresponding side wall. The reinforcement strip resists tearing of the handle when the bag is lifted.05-14-2009
20110158562DEFLATABLE BAG WITH LATERALLY PERFORATED LINER AND NON-ADJACENT HUMIDITY BARRIER - The present invention pertains to a multilayer bag for receiving a powder material. A tubular wall is provided to have, once the bag is filled with the powder material and stacked, stacking sections which face upward and downward and side sections which face laterally. The tubular wall has an inner plastic liner with vents along at least one of the side sections to allow stacking pressure to expel air through the vents. There is also a first paper layer contiguous with the inner plastic liner, then a humidity barrier layer non-adjacent with the inner plastic liner; and at least one outer paper layer. The placement of the vents and the non-adjacent humidity barrier facilitate expulsion of air via the vents during and after stacking and avoid inadvertent sealing melt bonding between the humidity barrier and the inner liner.06-30-2011
