20090207014SYSTEMS FOR MONITORING PROXIMITY TO PREVENT LOSS OR TO ASSIST RECOVERY - A portable proximity alarm apparatus comprising a Bluetooth system and an alarm monitors the presence of a portable electronic device equipped with a compatible transceiver within range and alarms when that device leaves its range. On detecting disconnection, the proximity alarm automatically tries to reconnect. A portable proximity alarm apparatus with an optional voice mode allows for listening to a monitored device and/or to send voice to a monitored device. A proximity alarm device particularly suitable for monitoring persons and animals comprises a base device having a Bluetooth transceiver that can pair with a monitored device having a Bluetooth transceiver. The base device has a lower frequency receiver and the monitored device has a lower frequency transmitter, optionally the base has a lower frequency transmitter and the monitored device has a lower frequency receiver. The lower frequency is less than 1 GHz and preferably 433 MHz. The lower frequency transmitter and receivers are activated when the base and monitored devices are paired and the Bluetooth transceivers enter a sleep or low power usage mode, such as sniff, park, and hold. In an embodiment, the lower frequency transmitter and/or receiver has an adjustable range.08-20-2009

20100241168Connection System Between a Spinal Rod and a Transverse Bar - A system for connecting a spinal osteosynthesis rod and a crossbar include a passage for receiving the crossbar and hinge mounted jaws for clamping the rod. A locking device biases the crossbar against the jaws. A return spring pulls the jaws relatively close to one another independently of the crossbar such that the jaws may clamp the osteosynthesis rod to ensure a stable mounting of the connection system to the osteosynthesis rod.09-23-2010
