20120082652 | METHODS AND DEVICES FOR COLLECTING SEPARATE COMPONENTS OF WHOLE BLOOD - A method provides for procuring platelet rich plasma (PRP) from a sample of whole blood in a vial. The method includes the steps of: separating the whole blood into layers through centrifugation with an upper layer containing platelet poor plasma (PPP) and a PRP layer below the upper layer containing PRP; adjusting an end point of a first range of motion of an extractor relative to a position of the PRP layer; moving the extractor through the first range of motion through the vial, PPP passing out from the upper layer through the extractor; and after the extractor reaches the end point of the first range of motion, extracting the PRP through the extractor and collecting the PRP. | 04-05-2012 |

20110022083 | METHODS AND DEVICES FOR REPAIRING AND ANCHORING DAMAGED TISSUE - Methods and devices are provided for anchoring suture to tissue, incorporating anchoring devices constructed substantially from suture. The anchoring devices are constructed as longitudinally extended, preformed knot configurations that upon deployment are reconfigured to form anchoring knots having an increased cross-section relative to the preformed knot configuration, for secure lodging in tissue. The anchoring devices are suitable for single and multi-anchor surgical procedures in soft tissue or bone, and multiple anchors can be delivered using a single delivery device. | 01-27-2011 |
20110022084 | METHODS AND DEVICES FOR REPAIRING AND ANCHORING DAMAGED TISSUE - Methods and devices are provided for repairing a tear in a meniscus. A pair of fixation member each entailing a preformed knot configuration coupled together by a suture length. The fixation members are placed on the meniscal tissue with the suture length spanning the tear, the knot configurations are expanded to form anchoring knots and the suture length is shortened to close the tear. | 01-27-2011 |
20140336703 | METHODS AND DEVICES FOR REPAIRING MENISCAL TISSUE - Methods and devices are provided for repairing a tear in a meniscus. A pair of fixation member each entailing a preformed knot configuration coupled together by a suture length. The fixation members are placed on the meniscal tissue with the suture length spanning the tear, the knot configurations are expanded to form anchoring knots and the suture length is shortened to close the tear. | 11-13-2014 |

20120032401 | Word Game - A game for forming words of fixed lengths within a fixed time period with a board having thereon a plurality of concentric rings around a common center, a first group of radii which extend from the common center to the outer most concentric ring which divides the concentric rings into quadrants of equal size, and a second group of radii which extend from the common center to the outer most concentric ring which divides each concentric ring of each quadrant into a group of blocks where the number of blocks in each ring of each quadrant are equal. A first distinctive mark is located in the blocks on one side of each radii of the first group of radii, and a second distinctive mark is located in similar positioned blocks of each quadrant where a different number is located in each block of a quadrant and similarly located blocks of each quadrant have similar numbers. | 02-09-2012 |

20160081844 | Arm sling for an infant - A belt, a band affixed to the front of the belt, and a strap affixed to the side or rear of the belt comprises an arm sling for an infant. The belt wraps around the infant's abdomen and fastens together with a fastening element, such as a hook-and-loop fastener. The infant's arm is inserted into the band in front of the infant. The strap that is attached to the side or rear of the belt then wraps across the upper arm in a loop, and fastens to the belt in front to immobilize the arm against the infant's body. | 03-24-2016 |

20150074155 | HIERARCHICAL GARBAGE COLLECTION IN AN OBJECT RELATIONAL DATABASE SYSTEM - Techniques of hierarchical garbage collection in an object-relational database system are described. When the object-relational database system receives a request to delete an object, the object-relational database system marks the object for deletion. A garbage collection procedure executing in the background can perform iterations of sweep and mark to delete the object and children objects of the object. In each iteration, a layer or “generation” of objects is deleted. The garbage collection procedure can continue the iterations until the object and all descendants of the objects are deleted. | 03-12-2015 |
