| 20080208200 | Drilling guide for use in implanting a femoral neck fixation prosthesis - A femoral neck fixation prosthesis and method of using same which reduces bone loss and the avoids the other shortcomings of the prior art by allowing the fixation of a stable femoral head replacement while reducing the amount of the femur which must be reamed for the insertion of the prosthesis. The preferred embodiment provides that the femoral head is attached to a fixation prosthesis, which extends coaxially through the canal of the femoral neck, into the femur, and is then attached to the opposite lateral wall of the femur. In this manner, the prosthesis serves to imitate the original structure of the femoral neck. No other support members, either crosspins or arms extending into the length of the femur, are required. | 08-28-2008 |

| 20090140580 | AC voltage conditioner - An AC voltage conditioner to be connected between a source of AC line voltage or non-linear voltage and one or more AC-powered devices (e.g., audio/video, medical and scientific equipment) to improve the performance of the devices by reducing the effects of interference and distortion often caused by an AC electromagnetic field or radio frequency interference in the vicinity of the devices. A pair of AC current conducting plates are respectively electrically connected between positive and negative output terminals of the AC line voltage source and positive and negative input terminals of each AC-powered device. The pair of AC current conducting plates are interposed between and separated from three DC current carrying plates. The DC current carrying plates are connected in electrical parallel with one another between positive and negative output terminals of a DC voltage generator. DC currents flowing through the DC current carrying plates from the DC voltage generator cause respective DC electromagnetic fields to surround the AC current carrying plates. Therefore, the AC currents flowing through the AC current carrying plates of the AC voltage conditioner will pass through the DC electromagnetic fields ahead of each AC-powered device. | 06-04-2009 |
| 20110170720 | Acoustic energy control system for a room - A mechanical acoustic energy control system to be located in a room in which one or more audio speakers are also located so that the audio output of the speakers can be distributed throughout the room to enable a listener in the room to be surrounded by sound. A master acoustic resonator attached to the front wall of the room is adapted to vibrate and thereby produce acoustic waves corresponding to the acoustic energy generated by the speakers. A low frequency (e.g., bass) acoustic resonator sits on the floor of the room below the master acoustic resonator. The low frequency acoustic resonator is adapted to vibrate to reflect low frequency acoustic waves produced by the speakers and the master acoustic resonator. A satellite acoustic resonator is located on each of the back and opposing side walls of the room. The satellite acoustic resonators are adapted to vibrate in response to the acoustic waves reflected thereto by the speakers, the master acoustic resonator, and the low frequency acoustic resonator. The vibration of the satellite acoustic resonators controls the dispersion pattern of acoustic waves in the room so that the listener hears a richer, fuller and more natural sound. | 07-14-2011 |

| 20090142182 | Gas Turbine Engines and Related Systems Involving Offset Turbine Frame Struts - Gas turbine engines and related systems involving offset hub struts are provided. In this regard, a representative bearing assembly for a gas turbine engine includes: a bearing operative to support a rotatable shaft; an annular hub positioned about the bearing; and an annular array of struts extending radially outwardly from the hub, at least two of the struts being positioned in different planes, the planes being oriented transversely with respect to the rotatable shaft. The method of assembling the struts by mounting first and second pluralities of struts, each plurality in a common plane, between the hub and the turbine exhaust case, with the second plurality of struts longitudinally offset from the first plurality of struts. | 06-04-2009 |
| 20120141294 | GAS TURBINE ROTOR CONTAINMENT - A gas turbine engine has a spool including compressor and turbine rotors connected by a first shaft. The first shaft extends concentrically around a second shaft. The first shaft forward end has a portion with an inner diameter of close tolerance with the second shaft. The second shaft has a region of enlarged diameter located axially aft of the compressor rotor but axially forward of the forward end of the first shaft. The region of enlarged diameter has a diameter greater than the inner diameter of the forward end portion of the first shaft to cause the region of enlarged diameter of the second shaft to engage the first shaft in interference in the event that the second shaft is moved axially aft relative to the first shaft more than a pre-selected axial distance. | 06-07-2012 |
