| 20090027452 | REMOVABLE DRIVE ELECTRONICS UNIT FOR HIGH RESOLUTION PRINT ENGINE - A print engine for drop-on-demand printing having a removable drive electronics unit and a removable ink jetting structure. The ink jetting structure may include an actuator mechanism, a nozzle, and a flexible circuit. The drive electronics unit may include an input port, at least one driver chip, and an outlet port. The inlet port may receive electronic data from an external information source and convert the received electronic data into electronic signals used to activate the actuator mechanism. The output port of the drive electronics and the flexible circuit may be removably connected through the use of an electronics connection device. This connection may allow the electronic signals generated by the drive electronics unit to be delivered to the actuator mechanism. These signals may control when the actuator mechanism is activated, thereby controlling the formation and jettison of ink droplets out of the nozzle of the ink jetting structure. | 01-29-2009 |
| 20090303299 | INK CONTAINMENT SYSTEM AND INK LEVEL SENSING SYSTEM FOR AN INKJET CARTRIDGE - An ink containment system for an inkjet cartridge, for storing ink for printing, comprises a rigid basin member and a rigid moveable plate. A flexible membrane is affixed to a surface of the basin member and to a surface of the plate forming an ink reservoir within the basin member, plate and flexible membrane. A spring-biased mechanism is disposed between the basin member and plate, for biasing the plate apart from the basin member, generating a negative pressure within the ink reservoir and the basin member remaining stationary relative to the movement of the plate. The basin member has a bowl-like configuration and the spring is seated within the reservoir in such a way that when the ink reservoir has collapsed due to depletion of ink, the flexible membrane and moveable plate are substantially flush with surfaces of the basin member. | 12-10-2009 |

| 20100109503 | METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR POSITIONING A CERAMIC INDUCTION DISCHARGE BODY RELATIVE TO AN INDUCTION COIL - An electrodeless or induction ceramic HID lamp includes a ceramic arc body having a generally spheroidal portion enclosing a discharge chamber and an induction coil received around a perimeter portion of the spheroidal portion. At least one leg extends from the spheroidal portion of the arc body. A mounting structure connects the arc body to the surrounding lamp assembly. In one arrangement, a mounting tube is received over at least a portion of the leg, and may further include a light transmissive shroud that also abuts with the induction coil to precisely locate the arc body relative to the coil. In another arrangement, first and second mounting members extend from spaced locations of the arc body, either as pins or legs extending from the spheroidal portion, or radially extending legs from an equatorial portion of the arc body. In still another arrangement, a ceramic mounting member extends from the arc body and includes a thin peripheral rim having spaced ridges to engage spaced locations of the induction coil. | 05-06-2010 |
| 20100109504 | STARTING COIL FOR INDUCTION LIGHTING - Life of a starting conductor or coil in an induction lamp is significantly improved with the present disclosure. A mechanical support supports the starting coil adjacent the arc body of the lamp and has features that allow the starting coil to mount thereon. The mechanical support may be made of a high temperature material such as glass, quartz, or ceramic so that light from the lamp is not blocked. In another embodiment, the starting conductor is protected from oxidation by fully encasing the starting conductor within the high temperature material. In still another embodiment, a thin coating of a high temperature material that may or may not be light transmissive could be used as an alternative manner of support. | 05-06-2010 |
| 20110043108 | SEAL AND LEG DESIGN FOR CERAMIC INDUCTION LAMP - A ceramic arc body includes a main body having a chamber. A leg extends from the main body and has an internal opening therethrough that communicates with the chamber. An electrically non-conductive seal member is received in the leg opening. A tapered internal surface abuttingly engages the seal member and provides for centering of the seal member relative to the leg. A separate tapering region, shoulder, or stop surface limits insertion of the seal member into the leg opening for precision location of the seal member, and in another embodiment, a single continuous taper inside the leg cooperates with a tapered seal member for both centering and precision insertion of the seal member into the leg. In another embodiment, a hybrid electrode is employed where one portion of the hybrid electrode is electrically non-conductive and a second portion of the electrode is electrically conductive. The hybrid electrode mechanically supports both the lamp and the starting coil and also provides electrical connection to the starting coil. | 02-24-2011 |

| 20080312703 | INSTRUMENTATION AND ASSOCIATED TECHNIQUES FOR MINIMALLY INVASIVE VERTEBRAL ROD INSTALLATION - Spinal fixation systems may be installed utilizing instruments and techniques alone or in combination with selectively attached extension members mounted on vertebral anchors to extend percutaneously from the spine. The surgical procedures associated with this invention involve making small, discrete incisions for the placement of select vertebral anchors. The extension members retract soft tissue, muscle and the like to thereby provide visibility and access to the head of the anchor. Instrumentation is utilized to deliver and install components such as a spine rod, set screw and other required hardware to the anchors. Once a spine rod or other components are secured to the pedicle screws, the instrumentation and extension members are removed from the patient. | 12-18-2008 |
| 20080312704 | INSTRUMENTATION AND ASSOCIATED TECHNIQUES FOR MINIMALLY INVASIVE SPINAL CONSTRUCT INSTALLATION - A spinal fixation installation assembly includes an elongate member having a trailing end. The elongate member, which could be a rigid member, is configured for travel in a first direction along an elongate portion of a first bone anchor coupled to a spine. The elongate member is also configured to travel in a second direction between the first bone anchor and a second bone anchor also coupled to the spine. A cord member is coupled to the trailing end of the elongate member. In one aspect of this embodiment, a spine rod is coupled to the cord member at its leading end and is configured for travel in the first and second directions. The elongate portion of one or more of the bone anchors may extend percutaneously from the spine, while the spine rod may be releasably coupled to the cord member. | 12-18-2008 |
