| 20090299394 | METHODS AND DEVICES FOR CUTTING TISSUE - A method of removing material from a blood flow lumen generally includes providing a device having a cutting element and an opening, advancing the device through the blood flow lumen to a site where material is to be removed, forcing the opening toward a wall of the site where material is to be removed, and moving the cutting element and the opening so that material in the blood flow lumen is cut by the cutting element and directed into the opening for removal as the cutting element and opening are moved through the blood flow lumen. In some embodiments, the device may be deflected or bent to force the opening toward a wall to remove material. The cutting element may be rotatable and may have an axis that is movable, that is not parallel to the longitudinal axis of the device, or both. | 12-03-2009 |

| 20090178316 | POST COVER WITH INTERCHANGEABLE ADVERTISING HOLDER - Non-illuminated and illuminated post-cover displays include a generally cylindrical body having and open lower end adapted for placement over a post extending upwardly from a ground surface. The upper end of the body includes an advertising holder comprising a transparent or translucent form having an open top and an inner surface to receive an insert bearing textual or graphical material visible through the transparent or translucent form when installed. A cap is provided to close off the open top of the transparent or translucent form. The cap may be removable, allowing the insert to be changed, or it may be permanently affixed to the transparent or translucent form. The body and transparent or translucent form may be fabricated as an integrally molded article or portions may be assembled. In the preferred embodiment, the transparent or translucent form is generally cylindrical and the insert is a flexible sheet. In the non-illuminated embodiment the insert may be opaque. In the illuminated embodiment, however, the insert contains one or more transparent or translucent portions and the cap includes a light source to back-light the insert through the transparent or translucent form. | 07-16-2009 |
| 20090178318 | EXTRUDED PLASTIC U-CHANNEL SIGN POST COVERS - Covers for U-channel or C-channel sign posts comprise an extruded hollow plastic form having a length, the form in cross-section including a generally flat front wall and opposing generally flat side walls. Each side wall converges toward the other at an angle from the front wall to a back section having a width less than the front wall, thereby forming a generally trapezoidal interior. Each side wall is bent toward the other to form overlapping portions that make up the back section. In the preferred embodiments, the front wall further includes a co-extruded reflective, fluorescent, phosphorescent or colored lengthwise strip of material to enhance visibility, and the back section further includes an engagement mechanism between the overlapping portions including one or more sets of engaging barbs. The back section may further include a rearward wall extending from one of the overlapping portions and folded over the overlapping portions forming a rearward wall to assist in maintaining the engagement of the barbs. | 07-16-2009 |
| 20100223882 | MODULAR POST COVERS - A modular system includes a plurality of polymeric panels, each panel having a thickness, a length, and first and second opposing parallel side edges defining a width. The first side edge of each panel includes a lengthwise receptacle, while the second side edge of each panel including a lengthwise bead. The bead and receptacle are physically dimensioned such that the receptacle of one panel receives the bead of another panel in interlocking cooperation, thereby enabling multiple panels to be interconnected to surround a vertical member. In one embodiment, each elongated receptacle includes a lengthwise cylindrical cavity having an inner diameter accessed through a lengthwise slot having a width less than the diameter of the cavity. Each elongated bead is a lengthwise cylindrical bead having an outer diameter corresponding to the inner diameter of the cavity, such that the bead is received by the cavity. A different embodiment uses interlocking barbs. | 09-09-2010 |
