Integrated system for the ballistic and nonballistic infixion and retrieval of implants

Provided are methods and apparatus for the use of magnetic traction to maintain the patency of a tubular anatomical structure, whether a vessel, duct, the trachea, bronchus, bile duct, ureter, vas deferens, fallopian tube, or portions of the digestive tract, as to constitute means for extraluminal stenting. An extraluminal stent consists of a perimedial or medial intravascular and an extravascular component. The intravascular component consists of ferromagnetic spherules implanted aeroballistically or stays implanted by means of a special hand tool, while the extravascular component consists of a pliant jacket or mantle that has magnets mounted about its outer surface. A catheter adapted for use as the barrel of a gas-operated implant insertion gun is so devised that it can be used independently to perform an angioplasty and thereafter have its free or extracorporeal end inserted into the airgun to initiate implantation of the intravascular component without the need for withdrawal and reinsertion through the introducer sheath. When the implants must be spaced too closely together to be controlled by hand, a positional control system is used to effect discharge automatically. Spherules that consist entirely of medication or that have a radiation emitting seed as the core can be implanted with the same apparatus. A glossary of terms follows the specification.

Orthodontic planning systems

Systems and methods are disclosed for treating teeth to correct for malocclusions. This may be accomplished in one variation by receiving a scanned dental model of a subject's dentition, determining a treatment plan having a plurality of incremental movements for repositioning one or more teeth of the subject's dentition, and fabricating one or more aligners correlating to a first subset of the plurality of incremental movements.

Stopper and plunger rod for a pre-filled syringe

A plunger rod adapted for attachment with a stopper for use with a syringe barrel is disclosed. The plunger rod includes an elongated member having a front end and a back end, the plunger rod extending along a longitudinal axis. The plunger rod includes at least one deflecting arm associated with the front end of the elongated member. The deflecting arm is capable of deflecting radially inward during insertion of the plunger rod into a stopper, and deflecting outward into contact with an inner surface of the stopper after insertion to lock the plunger rod within the stopper.

Voice coil motor

InactiveUS20080198254A1Make smallFast in response timeTelevision system detailsProjector focusing arrangementCushionImage sensor
A voice coil motor lens module has a two part casing accommodating a magnet housing of annular form with an outer wall and an inner wall joined by a top wall. One or more magnets producing a magnetic field, are fitted to the inner surface of the outer wall. A lens holder, for supporting a lens, has a coil fitted to an outer surface thereof and is suspended by a pair of springs such that the coil is disposed within the magnetic field. The lens holder has an inner bore and an axially upper end. The inner wall extends into the inner bore of the lens holder and the upper end of the lens holder rests, in a park position, against an upper cushion fixed to an inner surface of the top wall. In use, current passing through the coil moves the lens holder downwardly to focus an image on an image sensor below the lens holder. At a fully extended position, the lower end of the lens holder rests against a lower cushion fixed to the casing.

Tooth and Adaptor Assembly

Abstract A tooth and adaptor assembly (11) for use on earthmoving machinery, the assembly comprising an adaptor (21) adapted to be secured to a bucket or like component on the earthmoving machinery. The adaptor (21) comprising a nose (27) having an at least one sidewall (35) incorporating a first channel (37) and a second channel (39) angled relative to each other. The assembly (11) also a tooth (41) adapted to be received on the adaptor (41) and releasably secured thereto. The tooth comprises a socket (43) having sidewalls (53). At least one sidewall (53) incorporates a third channel (55) at an angle complementary to the second channel (39), such that when assembled the two channels (39, 55) co-operate to define an enclosure (91). An upper wall (49 of the socket (43) has at least one aperture (57) therethrough, and which is aligned with the third channel (55). The assembly (11) further comprises at least one locking mechanism (71) for locking the tooth (41) to the adaptor (21). The locking mechanism (71) having at least one projection (77) and adapted to be received through the aperture (57). During assembly the projection (77) moves inwardly with respect to the locking mechanism (71) as it enters the enclosure, the locking mechanism (71) moving towards its normal extended position when the projection (77) aligns with the first channel (37) wherein the assembly (11) is in its locked condition.

Wheel chock

A wheel chock (10) configured for placement under a resting rubber tired wheel (W), such as a wheel found on a powered vehicle, to maintain the wheel (W) at rest is disclosed. The wheel chock (10) broadly includes a body (12) that defines an internal chamber (14) in communication with an open face (16) presented by the body (12). The body (12) presents a prism-like configuration having a generally triangular shape and includes a pair of oppositely spaced sidewalls (18, 20), a rear wall (22) extending between and adjoining the sidewalls (18,20), and a wheel-supporting surface (24) extending between and thereby enclosing the walls (18,20,22). The wheel-supporting surface (24) presents a low profile, arcuate leading tire-engaging edge (34). The arcuate leading edge (34) substantially complements the contour of the tire and enables the chock (10) to be easily placed under the wheel (W) in an optimal operating position i.e., in close adjacent alignment with the wheel (W) so that at least a portion of the majority of the circumferentially extending treads of the rubber tire of the wheel (W) engage at least a portion of the chock (10) with a minimal exertion of force and effort by the user. The internal chamber (14) in communication with the open face (16) enables the body (12) of the chock (10) to be stackably nested within another similarly configured wheel chock to provide a compact, space-efficient storage of the chocks that facilitates ready portability for transportation of a pair or more of the chocks in the vehicle.
