20090192473 | SYSTEMS FOR CONTROLLED CLOSURE OF BODY LUMENS - Systems for controlled closure of body lumens may utilize a single access port which is attached to a vessel wall and allows for controlled closure and/or insertion of small to large sized instruments and catheters. The vascular access device generally includes a first frame and a second frame having an access port secured between the respective frames, e.g. via adhesive, welding, etc. Each respective frame may be configured to include a support member which may be shaped in a variety of configurations so long as an access opening is defined by the support member. A number of retaining members may extend radially from its respective support member and each retaining member may be configured so as to compress or “sandwich” the vessel tissue which surrounds the tissue opening between the retaining members on the inner and outer surfaces of tissue to securely position the device along the vessel wall. | 07-30-2009 |

20090326580 | SPINAL FIXATION DEVICE - A spinal fixation assembly has a bone screw with head having a continuously curved spherical outer surface. The curved surface nests in a split annular bushing having a plurality of segments curving around the screw head. The bushing has an outward extending flange that fits into a recess in a socket in a fixation plate. The plate has at least three legs which extend from ends of a cross-member to form one of an H shaped, X shaped or A shaped configuration. Each socket is curved to rotatably receive rotation of the bushing. The socket recess is larger than the bushing flange to allow the bushing to tilt a predetermined amount depending on a thickness of the outward extending flange. | 12-31-2009 |
20110184415 | BONE SCREW RETENTION MECHANISM - A bone stabilization system is provided having a plate with a top and bottom surface and a hole therethrough extending along a longitudinal axis. An annular groove in the top surface encircles the axis and defines outer facing sides of a plurality of spring members integral to the plate. A plurality of slots define sides of the spring members the inward facing side of the spring members form the upper portion of the hole, which includes a first spherical portion. A fastener with a spherical portion on the fastener head extends into the hole with the spring members urged apart to allow the head to pass but restraining removal until the resistance provide by the spring members is overcome. | 07-28-2011 |

20100178638 | Method for teaching grammar through a series of steps - A method for teaching grammar where each lesson focuses on a different element of grammar id disclosed. These lessons are preferably arranged not by parts of speech, but rather are grouped such that subsequent lessons build on previously learned lessons. Identifying an element of grammar is achieved through a series of steps, whereby if these steps are followed exactly, the element of grammar can easily be identified. At least one of the steps includes a question, where the answer the question is the element of grammar to be identified by the user. | 07-15-2010 |
