| 20080201074 | SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR CREATING AND SHARING NAVIGATION ROUTES WITH ELECTRONIC DEVICES - A device which converts geographic coordinates such as track logs to navigational routes matched to known road networks includes a GPS receiver; a display; and a processing system. The GPS receiver determines a series of geographic coordinates corresponding to points along a path traveled by a user of the device. The processing system accesses the series of geographic coordinates; compares them to a database of known paths to find a match; and displays at least a portion of the matching path along with navigational information which permits the user to generally follow the series of geographic coordinates while traveling on the path. | 08-21-2008 |

| 20090081908 | Connector With Redundant Terminal Locking - A connector is disclosed. The connector includes a connector housing having a terminal channel and a terminal positioned within the terminal channel. The connector includes a primary locking mechanism including a locking beam configured to engage a first terminal locking surface and a secondary locking mechanism including a locking hinge having a locking foot configured to engage a second terminal locking surface. The locking hinge is configured to pivot from a staging position to permit passage of the terminal into the connector through the terminal channel to an operative position to retain the terminal within the terminal channel and establish a position of maximum rearward travel of the terminal within the terminal channel. | 03-26-2009 |

| 20100280619 | SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR SIZING, INSERTING AND SECURING AN IMPLANT IN INTERVERTEBRAL SPACE - A prosthetic spinal implant having a securing member for fixing the implant relative to an adjacent bone. In one form, the securing member is deployable into a portion of the vertebral space for affixing the implant between the vertebrae. The securing member may be disposed substantially within the body of a bearing member of the implant when the securing member is in an undeployed orientation. In other forms, the securing member is provided separately from the implant such that it may be inserted into the intervertebral space after the implant has been placed in an implanted orientation between the vertebrae. In such forms, the securing member is configured for ease of insertion between an outer bearing surface of the implant and an adjacent bone via linear or rotary motion. | 11-04-2010 |

| 20110202096 | Spinal Rod and Screw Securing Apparatus and Method - A minimally invasive and open surgery surgical system for implanting spinal screw assemblies to be connected by a spinal rod is disclosed. In one form, the system includes an improved tool device for inserting a cap insert into an initial and final locking of a screw assembly and securing a spinal rod inserted through an incision to a vertebra. In another form, the system also includes a screw fixation system that allows greater variability in thread diameter for orthopedic implant for in the spine, iliac crest, or bones. | 08-18-2011 |

| 20090298103 | Predicting hemostatic risk; dependence on plasma composition - Featured are methods for assessing hemostatic risk including the risk for ACS. Such methods include acquiring blood/plasma composition based on a biological sample obtained from a subject, determining parameters associated with blood clotting, simulating in silico blood clotting using the determined parameters and comparing the results of such simulation to a reference and to determine the hemostatic risk from said comparing. In further embodiments, such methods further include selecting a treatment regime or protocol based on the results of such comparing. In yet further embodiments, such methods further include assessing the efficacy of medicants, drugs and the like of a given treatment protocol such as by simulating in silico the application of such medicants, drugs and the like. | 12-03-2009 |

| 20090221386 | GOLF BALL WITH INTERMEDIATE LAYER CONTAINING AN EXPANDABLE POLYMER - A multilayer golf ball with at least one layer made from an expandable polymeric composition is disclosed. In accordance to one aspect of the invention, the expandable polymeric composition comprises a film-forming binder polymer latex, a dispersing agent, a plurality of polyspheres encapsulating expandable volatile substance, and at least one additive. The additive can be a defoaming agent, a solvent, a thickener, a plasticizer, or any combination thereof. The at least one layer may also comprise a thermally expandable microsphere encapsulating foaming agent. | 09-03-2009 |
| 20100292031 | GOLF BALL WITH INTERMEDIATE LAYER CONTAINING AN EXPANDABLE POLYMER - A multilayer golf ball with at least one layer made from an expandable polymeric composition is disclosed comprising a thermally expandable microsphere encapsulating foaming agent wherein the expandable polymeric composition expands from 5% to 200% of its pre-expand thickness when the expandable polymeric composition is exposed to a triggering environmental factor. | 11-18-2010 |

| 20090312692 | SHEAR STRESS ULTRASONIC HORN FOR ULTRASONIC SURGICAL ASPIRATION - An ultrasonic horn for use with an ultrasonic surgical hand piece including a resonator comprises a contacting annulus having a plurality of angled lands. The lands are alternated around the annulus such that adjacent lands have opposite angles. As a result of the adjacent angled lands, a shear stress field is developed in contacted tissue due to the promotion of refracted longitudinal ultrasonic waves propagating in different directions at the interface to the coupled tissue. The shear stress field enhances the fragmentation and removal rate of fibrous, elastic, and tenacious tissue. The horn is hollow permitting suction to be applied to the tissue for controlling tissue contact with the lands. | 12-17-2009 |
