20080248658 | ELECTRICAL CONNECTOR LEAD FRAME - An electrical interconnection system with high speed, differential electrical connectors. The connector is assembled from wafers containing columns of conductive elements, some of which form differential pairs. Each column may include ground conductors adjacent pairs of signal conductors. The ground conductors may be wider than the signal conductors, with ground conductors between adjacent pairs of signal conductors being wider than ground conductors positioned at an end of at least some of the columns. Each of the conductive elements may end in a mating contact portion positioned to engage a complementary contact element in a mating connector. The mating contact portions of the signal conductors in some of the pairs may be rotated relative to the columns. The printed circuit board to which the differential signal connector is mounted may be constructed with elongated antipads around pairs of signal conductors. | 10-09-2008 |

20140173902 | DEVICE AND METHODS FOR REMOVING EARRINGS - Devices and related methods to remove stud-type earrings. The removal devices include tips that easily interface with the earring post and backer to facilitate removal. The tips are coupled to a structure with a spring characteristic. Simple squeezing of the structure actuates the tips to separate the backer from the post. The spring characteristic is biased to keep the tips spaced apart, or open, in the absence of a squeezing force. | 06-26-2014 |

20160038267 | SURGICAL IMPLANT SYSTEM AND METHOD - An implant and suture locking system is provided. The implant can include a lateral or distal anchor, and a medial or proximal anchor. One or more suture loops can extend between and operatively connect the anchors. A medial suture loop can extend through apertures in the medial anchor to provide efficient and easily adjustable tensioning and suture locking for the implant. | 02-11-2016 |

20100310782 | METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR APPLYING A SEALANT - A method and apparatus for applying a sealant includes a first chamber that retains a first substance. A second chamber retains a second substance, wherein the second chamber is in selective fluid communication with the first chamber. A third chamber retains a third substance. A first actuator is configured to cause fluid communication of the first and second chambers to allow the first and second substances to comingle and form a first mixture. A second actuator is configured to urge the first mixture and the third substance out of the sealant application apparatus. | 12-09-2010 |
20120221005 | INTERMEDULLARY SYSTEM AND METHOD - A system and method for drilling soft tissue and positioning an intramedullary rod in a long bone is provided. The system includes an intramedullary rod having an internal channel sized to provide a tight fit for a drill assembly. The system also includes a step pin used for marking the position of a pilot hole drilled through the bone within which the intramedullary rod is positioned. | 08-30-2012 |
20150209821 | DISPENSING AND ASPIRATING SYSTEM INCLUDING A SYRINGE HOLDING AND ACTUATION DEVICE - The present invention provides actuation mechanisms that incorporate a transmission assembly that allows the mechanisms to cause actuation of workpieces according to a plurality of transmission modes (e.g., at least one forward transmission mode and at least one reverse transmission mode) on demand. Motion, direction, and/or force can be controlled by selecting the corresponding transmission mode. The mechanisms preferably are trigger-actuated by hand (i.e., manually) to cause movement of a workpiece in a desired direction. Desired directions can be linear or nonlinear. The same hand used for trigger action can also be used to change transmission modes in many modes of practice, even while using substantially the same grip used for trigger actuation. In other instances, actuation can be automated rather than manual. Preferably, both actuation and witching among transmission modes can be accomplished with one hand, even while maintaining substantially the same grip that is used for actuation. | 07-30-2015 |
