Method for creating a double bundle ligament orientation in a single bone tunnel during knee ligament reconstruction
ActiveUS20050096743A1Maximizes graft stiffnessReduces tunnel wideningSuture equipmentsLigamentsBone tunnelKnee joint ligament
A method and construct for joint repair in which attachment of a double bundle graft ligament approximates anatomic orientation using interference fixation in a single bone tunnel. The double bundle graft features separable strands. A threaded screw is inserted between the separable strands and provides interference fixation of the graft against radially opposing walls defining the bone tunnel. Attachment of the graft using separated strands more closely approximate the configuration of the native ligament. The resulting reconstruction exhibits mechanical functionality that more accurately mimics that of the intact joint, with a minimum of associated tissue morbidity.

A method for unlocking a touchscreen device comprises no involvement of pressing a physical button of the touchscreen device. Rather, it employs a pre-defined touchscreen area as the unlocking spot. The location and size of this unlocking spot can be redefined by a user. When this spot is touched by a finger, a counter will start to count numbers. When it passes a pre-defined number threshold, the activation signal will be sent to a micro control unit (MCU) to activate the MCU. In this way, the touchscreen device is unlocked. In addition, a power saving circuit is provided to execute such unlocking function and reduce power consumption.

High efficiency conversion of heat energy to electrical energy is achieved using a ring of metallic components and anodically sliced, reduced barriers, high purity n-type and p-type semiconductor wafers. Energy produced by heating one set of fins and cooling another set is extracted from a ring of bismuth telluride based n-type wafers and antimony telluride based p-type wafers using make-before-break control of MOSfet switch banks. Standard AC frequencies and DC output result from rectification of make-before-break high frequency switched very high currents in the ring and a DC to AC converter. Solar energy stored in porcelain fragments extends the time that solar energy can be used as the heat source for the thermoelectric generator device.

Expanded utility of red-cell derived microparticles (RMP) for treatment of bleeding
ActiveUS9155764B1Eliminate major riskRemove complicationsMammal material medical ingredientsDead animal preservationErythrocyte membranePlatelet disorder
Red blood cell membrane derived microparticles (RMP) are safe, economical, effective hemostatic agents in the treatment of a wide range of bleeding conditions and can be considered as universal hemostatic agents. RMP are produced from red blood cells using a high-pressure extrusion membrane shear process and can be lyophilized after production and retain activity even when stored at room temperature. RMP can be administered to original donors (autologous treatment), thus avoiding transfusion complications, or can be administered to blood type compatible recipients. RMP produced from type O, Rh negative red cells can be given to any person regardless of blood type. RMP can be administered to reduce excessive bleeding resulting from trauma, surgeries, invasive procedures and various bleeding disorders such as platelet disorders, either congenital or acquired, and coagulation disorders, either congenital or acquired.
