| 20100257841 | VARIABLE AREA FAN NOZZLE AND THRUST REVERSER - A nozzle for use in a gas turbine engine includes a nozzle door having a first end, a second end opposed from the first end, and a pivot between the first end and the second end. A linkage connects to the nozzle door and to an actuator. The actuator is selectively operative to move the linkage to in turn move the nozzle door about the pivot between a plurality of positions, such as a stowed position, an intermediate position, and a thrust reverse position, to influence a bypass airflow through a fan bypass passage. | 10-14-2010 |

| 20090287305 | Wholly implantable non-natural heart for humans - A wholly implantable non-natural heart for humans is a double pump configuration provided with two auricles and two ventricles. Both the said auricles and ventricles are driven by solenoid actuators interacting with high energy magnets; the auricles and ventricles which are hollow chambers are provided with one-way valves in the usual manner, for the purpose of effectively and rhythmically moving blood to and from the said chambers; power generation for driving said solenoid actuators, as well as an electronic control unit is accomplished by a power generating module which could be a simple battery, a miniature spring-driven generator, a mems generator or a redundant self-sustaining generator or a combination of all of the above; the self-sustaining generator has been proposed and designed to power this present artificial heart and will be presented in a separate patent application in the near future as a follow up to this present one; the aforementioned electronic control unit is preferably configured to amplify the signals from the power generating unit as well as utilizing input/output signals from temperature and pressure sensors embedded in the heart to vary contractile force and frequency of beats, based on bodily requirements, thereby mimicking some functions of the natural heart; the electronic unit is also preferably provided with a translator chip that converts signals from the cardiac/vargus trunks (sympathetic and parasympathetic nerves) via electrodes into clear electric currents for varying actuator outputs; the heart would be implanted in the normal position in the chest, atop the diaphragm, while the electronic control unit and the power generation module would preferably be implanted behind the breastbone and lower abdomen respectively; all components of the present invention are amenable to current mass production techniques and miniaturization for the purpose of fitting into individuals of various sizes; as is clearly shown in FIG. | 11-19-2009 |

| 20090156998 | CATHETER HAVING TRANSITIONING SHAFT SEGMENTS - A catheter having shaft segments which are joined together by a strong bond providing a low profile shaft section with a flexibility transition and/or a compositional transition. A balloon catheter embodying features of the invention has a distal tip member and a coupling band member surrounding a junction of an inner tubular member of the shaft, and has a gradual change in bending stiffness along a distal end section of the shaft which extends distally from a location within the balloon interior. Another catheter embodying features of the invention has shaft segments joined together by a diagonal seam. | 06-18-2009 |

| 20100060405 | FUSE DEVICE WITH INTEGRATED SWITCH - A fuse is provided that includes a housing and a first lead and a second lead. The fuse further includes a fuse element having a current capacity. The fuse element forms a part of an electrical pathway between the first lead and the second lead. The fuse also includes a switch unit in communication with the housing and in series with the fuse element. The switch unit has an open state and a closed state. When the switch unit is in the closed state, the electrical pathway is connected to form a closed pathway between the first lead and the second lead, and when the switch unit is in the open state, the electrical pathway is disconnected to provide an open circuit between the first lead and the second lead. | 03-11-2010 |

| 20100113195 | ARROW NOCK INCLUDING METAL REINFORCEMENT MEMBER - The present invention relates to an arrow nock having a metal insert therein. The arrow nock is provided for installation at the fletched end of an arrow shaft, and is configured to receive a bowstring of a hunting bow therein. The arrow nock imparts the force of the bowstring into the arrow shaft to propel the arrow to the target. Repeated use can cause failure of the nock. The solution is to provide the nock with a reinforcement to prevent the failure or breakage of the arrow nock and/or shaft. A reinforcing rod, preferably of metal, extends the length of the nock and is molded into the arrow nock. Optionally, the rod may extend beyond the nock body and into the arrow shaft providing additional support. | 05-06-2010 |
