| 20110106113 | SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR HERNIA MESH FIXATION - The invention includes a surgical fastener and associated deployment system and method that overcomes the drawbacks of prior art surgical mesh fixation devices. The surgical fastener and deployment system may be used to fixate a surgical mesh material to the abdominal wall for the purpose of hernia repair. In accordance with one embodiment, the fastener may include an anchor head comprising a bi-pyramid framework. The anchor head is preferably made from a highly deformable and biocompatible material that withstands high flexural strain within an oscillatory environment. The anchor head may be provided in an elongate, undeployed configuration, and then expanded during deployment into a second, generally planar configuration. The anchor head may be biased to expand into the generally planar configuration from the undeployed configuration in a variety of manners. | 05-05-2011 |

| 20090040879 | Wearable electronic device with multiple display functionality - A wearable electronic device for conveying information in an analog manner, wherein a controller is operable in a first mode and at least a second mode, the dial assembly is operatively coupled to the controller, and is a liquid crystal display assembly, and preferably a cholesteric liquid crystal display, wherein the dial assembly displays informational indicia corresponding to the mode in which the electronic device is operating, and wherein the informational indicia is changeable based on the mode in which the wearable electronic device is operating; and wherein the positioning of the display hand as it rotates in the one of the clockwise and counterclockwise directions in the predefined increments conveys the information by referring to particular informational indicia, and wherein the controller operatively controls the positioning of the hand so that the hand can convey the information in the analog manner for each of the at least two modes. | 02-12-2009 |
| 20100220559 | Electromechanical Module Configuration - A wearable electronic device for conveying information using one or more display indicators, wherein the electronic device comprises a housing; a nest positioned in the housing; a plurality of independently insertable and removable modules coupled to the nest, wherein each module comprises (i) a gearing arrangement comprising at least one rotateable gear and (ii) a stepper motor, the stepper motor comprising a rotor rotateably coupled to the at least one rotateable gear; a controller operatively coupled to the stepper motor of each module, for causing the rotation of the rotor of each module; wherein each of the plurality of modules has associated therewith and mechanically coupled thereto one or more display indicators; whereby the positioning of the one or more indicators conveys information by referring to particular indicia. In a specific embodiment, the wearable electronic device is a wristwatch. | 09-02-2010 |
| 20110069589 | Wearable Electronic Device with Multiple Display Functionality - A wearable electronic device for conveying information in an analog manner at least in part by the use of at least one display hand positioned on the dial side of a dial, wherein the wearable electronic device uses the display hand(s) to convey information that is stored in the controller of the device and/or provided by sensors and/or an external transmitter. An actuation mechanism, preferably a stepper motor, is used to rotate the display hands in the clockwise and/or counterclockwise directions in predefined increments to convey the information. | 03-24-2011 |
