Porous spacers, instruments, and methods for foot and ankle fusion

Porous spacers (100) are provided for foot and ankle fusion. The porous spacers disclosed herein may be implanted between separate bones of a joint or between two segments of a single bone following an osteotomy procedure. Such spacers may be used in conjunction with an ankle resection system which includes a resection frame (150) and a resection guide (170). The resection frame can be anchored to the distal tibia and / or the talus and provides an opening (155) through which a bone cutting element can pass for cutting underlying bone. The resection guide can include one or more cutting slots (169, 171, 172) and the resection guide can be coupled to the resection frame with the one or more cutting slots positioned over the opening in the resection frame so that the bone cutting element can pass through the one or more cutting slots and through the opening in the resection frame for cutting the distal tibia and / or the talus.

Sports bag with integral transportation system

The sports bag assembly, which can accommodate the transportation and storage of sports equipment, entails a fully and permanently assembled integral transportation system comprising two or more wheels. The wheels can be deployed and retracted with a single mechanical movement, and may be stowed within the geometry of a traditional golf bag. The golf bag assembly will fit within the recessed areas of platforms attached to the rear of motorized carts; within conventional storage racks, lockers, and auto trunks typically found around golf courses and in residences; and within traditional golf travel cover containers or systems. The golf bag assembly also includes a ventilated club storage compartment, to facilitate the drying of grips, and drainage in the event of inclement weather. The golf bag assembly includes a support and suspension system that restrains the grip ends of clubs, thereby stabilizing and enhancing the protection of clubs during transport and play.

Headphones with a multichannel guiding mechanism

Headphones with a multichannel guiding mechanism having different channel speakers positioned within each of earphones and separate sound-guiding chambers for receiving the different channel speakers. In taking the acoustics into account, the separate sound chambers are installed within the earphones according to the sound effect of different channel speakers. An inner and an outer tube are installed within the first sound chamber. The inner tube defines a treble area in the middle of the front main speaker while the outer tube defines a bass area around the treble area whereby the first sound chamber has a tube-in-tube configuration. Accordingly, a clear positioning of the acoustic field is achieved by different installation position of the speakers within the earphones. In addition, the interference of sound waves is avoided and the reproduction of original sound is achieved.

Separator assembly

A separator assembly for removing material that is entrained in a gas stream. The separator assembly comprises a housing having inlet and outlet ports for the gas from which material is to be removed. The inlet and outlet ports are located toward the upper end of the housing. A flow director is positioned so that gas flowing into the housing flows over the flow director so that the incoming gas is made to follow a generally helical path within the housing. The separator assembly also comprises a shield which extends across the housing towards the lower end thereof so as to leave a collection space between it and the lower end in which material that is separated from the gas stream can collect. There is at least one opening in or around the shield through which the material can flow past the shield into the collection space. The face of the shield which is directed towards the upper end of the housing is bowl-shaped.

System and method for assembling optical components

The proposed solution to the problems associated with assembling optical components introduces an angular alignment step and the use of collimated optical beams to the assembly process. One embodiment of a method for aligning optical components includes the steps of angularly aligning a fiber subassembly and a laser subassembly to achieve a desired angular position of the fiber subassembly relative to the laser subassembly, transversely aligning the fiber subassembly and the laser subassembly to achieve a desired linear position of the fiber subassembly relative to the laser subassembly, while maintaining the desired angular position, and installing an intermediate part configured to accommodate the desired angular position and the desired linear position. The method also includes the step of permanently assembling the fiber subassembly, the laser subassembly and the intermediate part, while maintaining the desired angular position and the desired linear position.

Dual-sensor anti-sepsis stethoscope and device

ActiveUS7516814B1Promotes anti-sepsis and stereoscopyImprove sealingStethoscopeCatheterSTETHOSCOPE HEADSound wave
A dual-sensor stethoscope, or retrofit device for a stethoscope, promotes anti-sepsis and stereoscopy through use of a substantially rigid, generally T-shaped tube for support of dual stethoscope heads. Each head may be rotated away from a body independently for use of a single head or rotated into the same general plane for dual-head stereoscopy. A clinician can create a spatial, three-dimensional (3D) anti-septic barrier and avoid the need to carry multiple stethoscopes. During stereoscopy, the use of a common tube allows the transmission of sound with constructive interference of sound waves. The substantially rigid, generally T-shaped support tube allows a clinician to auscultate with one hand and monitor two locations without transference of pathogens.

Shoulder transfer weight support

A wearable weight support that transfers the weight of heavy garments that rely on shoulder support, off of the shoulders to the hips of the user. The device provides additional posterior radiation protection to the wearer as the back support can be made from radio-opaque materials. The device also provides lumbar support and results in less body heat containment through natural venting. The device is easily adjustable to any body type and allows the wearer to move more freely in their work environment. The invention can be used to transfer the weight of a backpack or other systems which rely on shoulder support to function.
