| 20110213214 | MECHANICALLY DEPLOYABLE TRACHEAL TUBE SENSOR - Various embodiments of a tracheal tube having a mechanically deployable sensor are provided. Certain embodiments of the tracheal tube may be capable of mechanically deploying the sensor during intubation to sense one or more indicators of blood flow characteristics, such as a level of blood gases and/or blood analytes, in the respiratory tract. The mechanically deployable sensor may be configured to abut the tracheal mucosa of a patient or not contact the tracheal wall at all during deployment. The sensor may be further adapted to remain in a recess disposed in the tracheal tube prior to deployment and exit the recess when acquiring measurements. | 09-01-2011 |

| 20110213264 | SENSOR ON NON-SEALING PORTION OF TRACHEAL TUBE CUFF - Various embodiments of a tracheal tube having a sensor disposed on a non-sealing portion of a cuff are provided. Certain embodiments of the tracheal tube may be capable of deploying the sensor during intubation to sense one or more indicators of blood flow characteristics, such as a level of blood gases and/or blood analytes, in the respiratory tract. The sensor on the cuff may be configured to deploy upon inflation of the cuff and to return to its predeployment position upon deflation of the cuff. The sensor may be further adapted to abut the tracheal mucosa of a patient or not contact the tracheal wall at all during deployment. | 09-01-2011 |

| 20090261661 | POWER CONTROL DEVICE FOR APPARATUSES THAT EMPLOY STANDBY POWER - An apparatus is disclosed herein that includes a housing, wherein the housing has a front and a back, wherein the housing includes first electrical receptacles, a switch, and a timer module. The first electrical receptacles are positioned on the front of the housing and are configured to receive first prongs of an electric plug, and the switch may be responsive to the timer. The apparatus can further include second prongs that correspond to the first electrical receptacles, wherein the second prongs re coupled to the housing and are configured to be received by second electrical receptacles of an outlet socket. The switch, when closed, is operative to electrically couple at least one of the first prongs with at least one of the second electrical receptacles. When open, the switch is operative to prevent electrical coupling of the at least one of the first prongs with the at least one of the second receptacles. The timer is operative to cause the switch to be opened and closed. | 10-22-2009 |

| 20090053056 | Turbine Vane Securing Mechanism - A turbine vane attachment system configured to eliminate movement of a turbine vane relative to a turbine vane carrier. The turbine vane attachment system may include a base attached to a turbine airfoil. The base may be configured to contact a wedge support along a plane that is generally nonparallel and nonorthogonal with a longitudinal axis of the airfoil. A bolt may connect the base with the wedge support. The bolt may change a distance between a channel in the base and an outer bearing surface. The turbine vane may be positioned in a vane carrier such that tongues extending from the vane carrier are positioned in the channels. As the bolt is advanced, the wedge support is moved laterally along the support surface of the base and the channels engage the tongues, thereby preventing movement of the turbine vane. | 02-26-2009 |
| 20090214349 | Airfoil Structure Shim - An airfoil structure, shim and retention member combination is provided. The combination comprises an airfoil structure, a retention member and a shim. The airfoil structure may comprise a first recess. The retention member may comprising a second recess. The first and second recesses may define a cavity. The shim may comprise a main body and a plurality of first fins extending outwardly from a first side of the main body. The first fins may further extend transverse to a longitudinal axis of the main body. The shim may be positioned in the cavity such that the first fins extend in a direction substantially transverse to a longitudinal axis of the cavity. | 08-27-2009 |

| 20080208030 | EMG Electrode Apparatus And Positioning System - A system for detecting and analyzing electrical activity in the anatomy of an organism underlying an electrode array provides signals corresponding to electrical activity adjacent each electrode. Such signals are correlated to the underlying anatomy of the organism and representative outputs presented through various types of output devices. Such outputs may include variations in coloration or other qualities in correspondence with representations of underlying anatomical structures. The system includes electrode structures and methods for producing and attaching electrode arrays to the organism. The exemplary form of the invention is used in connection with the diagnosis of muscle activity in the lower lumbar regions of humans. Levels of muscle activity detected are analyzed by correlation with the muscular structures underlying the electrode array. Forms of the invention may be used in other applications. | 08-28-2008 |

| 20090287282 | Thermal bodily compress kits and methods of using same - A thermally adjustable compress assembly, kit, device and methods of using the same. A compress assembly includes a thermally adjustable gel pack and a plurality of moistened, disposable sheets that are removable from the outer surface of the gel pack. The sheets can be fabricated from a non-woven fabric material, a foam material or a film material. A compress assembly can further include an external frame attachable to the gel pack and one or more sheets of the plurality of sheets. | 11-19-2009 |
| 20090287283 | Thermal compress assembly and system with external frame - A thermally adjustable compress assembly, kit, device and methods of using the same. A compress assembly includes a thermally adjustable gel pack and an external frame positionable against the outwardly facing surface of the gel pack. The external frame can be passively positionable against the gel pack to apply backward pressure against the gel pack during use or can be actively attached to the gel pack to provide additional support to at least a portion of the gravitational weight of the gel pack during use. | 11-19-2009 |
