The invention also features methods of treatment using the bone screws, washers, and/or delivery manifold, and kits that include the same. | 10-01-2015 |
20140031791 | BONE SCREWS AND METHODS OF USE THEREOF - The invention features bone screws having a threaded screw body and a screw head attached to one end of the screw body, the bone screw further including: a) an interior channel extending longitudinally through the screw head and through at least a portion of the screw body, wherein the interior channel has a width of less than 5.0 millimeters; and b) a plurality of radially-disposed delivery channels connecting the interior channel to the exterior of the screw body, each delivery channel having exterior openings. The invention further features devices that include a bone screw and a delivery manifold detachably attached to the screw head of the bone screw. In addition, the invention features methods of treating a patient having a bone defect by using a bone screw described herein. | 01-30-2014 |
20120324650 | LIMB POSITIONER - The invention features devices for positioning and supporting the limb (e.g., an arm or leg) of a patient. The devices provide adjustable support for, e.g., the upper and lower leg. In addition, the device provides unfettered access to the patient's extremities and joints (e.g., the knee and portions of the leg above and below the knee). The invention further features methods of using the devices during diagnostic review, surgery, and rehabilitation. In addition, the invention features methods of treating a patient having a bone or tissue defect by using a device described herein. | 12-27-2012 |
20110176768 | OPTICAL SPECTRAL FILTER, ANGULAR FILTER AND POLARISER - A filter and fabrication process for a thin film filter that is based on frustrated total internal reflection and multiple waveguide layers, in which the waveguide modes are resonantly coupled. The physics of the design is related to prism coupling of light into planar waveguides, and waveguide coupling between planar waveguides in close proximity. Embodiments include a filter that acts as a bandpass filter and polarizer, a filter that acts as a bandpass filter, polarizer and angle filter (spatial filter), a filter that is widely tunable, and a filter that is widely tunable in both peak transmission wavelength and width. Methods of fabrication are disclosed, and methods to correct for manufacturing errors in thin film deposition are described. The filter embodiments can also be used in reflection as notch filters in wavelength and angle, for a particular polarization component. | 07-21-2011 |
20100182606 | APPARATUS AND METHOD FOR MULTI-PARAMETER OPTICAL MEASUREMENTS - An apparatus and method are provided for optically measuring multiple parameters of a test sample at a regulated temperature. The test sample is held in a cuvette within a sample chamber or a fluidic channel on a fluidic chip. The temperature is sensed and modulated within a desired range. Either excitation light is directed through the test sample, and the emitted light is detected by a detector which converts the detected emission light into an output signal; or a probe light is directed to the test sample and at a detector. The output signal is transmitted to the control system which converts the output signal into output data representative of the fluorescence intensity, optical density and/or refractive index of the test sample. | 07-22-2010 |
