Patent application numberDescriptionPublished
20080319546SHEATHS FOR IMPLANTABLE FIXATION DEVICES - Sheaths for implantable fixation devices and methods of using the sheaths are disclosed. Sheaths have a flexible body with a perforated wall, and an interior of the body is sized and shaped to receive the fixation device. Sheaths include a plurality of flexible or inflexible tubes arranged to form a ring, where the central cavity defined by the ring is sized and shaped to receive the fixation device.12-25-2008
20100222826Sheaths For Implantable Fixation Devices - Sheaths for implantable fixation devices are disclosed. Sheaths have a flexible body with a perforated wall, an open end, a closed end, and a body interior sized and shaped to receive the fixation device.09-02-2010

20080234733VERTEBRAL STABILIZATION DEVICES AND ASSOCIATED SURGICAL METHODS - A vertebral stabilization device operable for stabilizing and/or decompressing a portion of the spine, including: a first frame member; a second frame member; a first connector member engaged to the first frame member for securing the first frame member to a first structure of the spine; and a second connector member engaged to the second frame member for securing the second frame member to a second structure of the spine; wherein the first frame member and the second frame member are in a telescoping relationship with each other. The first and second structures of the spine may include spinous processes, laminae, sacral structures, or any other suitable structures. Preferably, the first connector member and the second connector member are substantially arcuate in shape, and may face towards each other, away from each other, or in the same direction.09-25-2008
20100312251Pedicle Driver - An improved detachable pedicle driver is disclosed having various external features to facilitate gauging depth by a surgeon, as well as being easier to manipulate by virtue of its revised side attachment design and light weight.12-09-2010

Patent application numberDescriptionPublished
20090251696Light scattering measurements using simultaneous detection - Methods and apparatus for measuring particle characteristics are disclosed. In one aspect, an amount of light arising from interaction between light and a suspended sample is detected simultaneously with the acquisition of a photon count from a different direction. At least one measure of particle characteristics can then be derived based at least in part on timing between information from the steps of acquiring and detecting.10-08-2009
20110155650CONTINUOUS PARTICLE AND MACRO-MOLECULAR ZETA POTENTIAL MEASUREMENTS USING FIELD FLOW FRACTIONATION COMBINED MICRO-ELECTROPHORESIS - In one general aspect, an instrument for measuring characteristics of particles suspended in a fluid is disclosed. It includes a closed wall surface defining a fractionation channel having a input opening, an output opening, and a flow axis that spans downstream from the input opening for the channel to the output opening. A force application subsystem has a force application output oriented perpendicular to at least part of the flow axis of the fractionation channel. A particle characteristic measurement subsystem is located hydraulically downstream from at least a portion of the closed wall surface defining the fractionation channel, and includes a sensor positioned to sense a property of the suspended particles in the potential measurement subsystem as well as a signal output responsive to the sensor. A result processor has a signal input responsive to the signal output of the particle characteristic measurement subsystem, zeta potential processing logic responsive to the particle characteristic measurement subsystem, and a particle characteristic signal output responsive to the particle characteristic processing logic.06-30-2011
20110157586MULTI-SAMPLE SCATTERING MEASUREMENTS - In one general aspect, a multi-sample liquid scattering measurement apparatus is disclosed. It includes a coherent light source having an optical output axis, with sample cells that each include a volume that intersects with the optical output axis. Detectors are each positioned to detect scattered light resulting from an interaction between light from the coherent light source and one of the cells. Light scattering analysis logic is responsive to the detectors and operative to determine a property of a liquid sample in each of the sample cells based on the detected scattered light.06-30-2011
