| 20090213473 | Telescopes for simultaneous clear viewing of objects and areas both near and distant - A telescope that provides for simultaneous clear viewing of objects or areas at various distances may be either Galilean or astronomical. The telescope may be mounted on or into any mechanism or device used for targeting or aiming. Such devices may include iron sights of small arms weapons, and cameras and telescopes, which may be either electrically or manually focused. These miniature scopes are engineered to maximize the clear depth-of-field viewing by the eye regardless of vision irregularities, such as Presbyopia, Myopia, Hyperopic, Astigmatism, or combinations of these, in conjunction with or without spectacle lens corrections. This aiming scope/device may be placed on a pair of spectacles in a very close proximity to the eye cornea. Other maximized scope image characteristics that occur are field-of-view, luminosity, and unmagnified and unbroken or distorted viewing field. Clearly detailed simultaneous viewing of images of all objects or areas at almost all distances forward of the objective lens is readily apparent to the scope user. Such objects include sighting devices forward of the scope on guns, bows, cameras, telescopes, and any target seen within the scope. Most reticles used in conjunction with this invention will also be observed in the scope. | 08-27-2009 |

The intramedullary device assembly includes a device that is configured to be inserted into the medullary canal of the bone. The assembly also includes a guide adapter that attaches to the end of the device and includes a movable and adjustable bone engagement member. Also a compression member may be attached to the guide adapter that pushes the bone engagement member into engagement with the bone. The bone engagement member defines at least two bone engagement points and wherein at least one bone engagement point is movable relative to at least one other bone engagement point in the direction of the bone. The compression member forces the bone engagement member in the direction of the bone along the bone engagement member guide and the at least one bone engagement point is permitted to move relative to the other at least one bone engagement point so that both bone engagement points can engage the end of the bone as compression is applied to the bone. The guide adapter and compression member may then be detached from the intramedullary device. A breakaway stud may also be included to connect the guide adapter to the intramedullary device such that the application of force on the assembly may break the breakaway stud and detach the guide adapter and compression member from the installed intramedullary device. | 10-01-2009 |

The stud includes a portion that is tapered from a first cross-sectional area to a second cross-sectional where the second cross-sectional area is smaller than that of the first cross-sectional area and the second cross-sectional area defines a region of concentrated stress. The stud also includes a portion configured to engage the internal threads of a fastener retained within an intramedullary device assembly, such as a guide member adapter. The external threads of the stud engage the internal threads of the fastener to secure the intramedullary device to the intramedullary assembly when a first torque is applied to the fastener. Upon completion of insertion, compression, and securing of the intramedullary device in the medullary canal of a bone, the intramedullary device can be separated from the intramedullary device assembly by applying a second, greater torque to the internally-threaded fastener, whereby the stud breaks at the region of concentrated stress. | 12-09-2010 |
