20100106199 | VENTING/PRESSURE ADJUSTMENT TO AID IN DELIVERY OF MATERIAL INTO AN ANATOMIC REGION VIA A CANNULA - A cannulated and possibly fenestrated device for injection of material into bone can be dangerous because large, uncontrolled pressures are introduced during injection into a somewhat closed system, and material may extrude undesirably or emboli may be introduced. Methods and devices are described for providing venting of pressure upon injection of material through cannulated and possibly fenestrated screws. The first method involves a bone screw and/or anchor device that includes multiple channels to allow material to flow in through one channel and out through another channel. The second method involves a plunger that can force material into bone if advanced or lessen pressure if withdrawn. The third method involves usage of two separate screws. Material is alternately injected or withdrawn from each screw to cause material to flow from one screw to the other in a controlled way that creates a uniform or asymmetrical distribution of material as desired. | 04-29-2010 |

20130174653 | HARDNESS TESTER AND PROGRAM - The present invention provides a hardness tester capable of accurately detecting a point where an indenter contacts a sample in instrumented indentation testing. Prior to beginning measurement, the hardness tester defines an expected range for a value for a displacement, speed, or acceleration of an indenter during a process of approaching a sample. After measurement has begun, the hardness tester measures the value for the displacement, speed, or acceleration of the indenter during the process of approaching the sample. When the measured value is not within the expected range, the hardness tester determines that detection of a zero point has failed. | 07-11-2013 |
