| 20130079770 | IRE GUIDANCE COLLAR - An IRE guidance collar assembly used to support an IRE needle or other ablation-type devices, comprising a guidance collar eye component and a guidance collar tube component. The collar eye component is movable, and slides freely along the guidance collar tube. This provide rigidity to the IRE needle while allowing various depths of insertion. The IRE needle body is seated in the receiving end of the guidance collar tube, with the needle inserted into and through the tube end of the guidance collar tube. One end of the guidance collar eye component snaps onto and fits over the tube end of the guidance collar tube, while the other end has a needle holder through which the IRE needle is inserted. The collar eye end slides along the tube end of the guidance collar tube, moving the needle holder of the collar end close to or away from the end of the guidance collar tube, as desired. | 03-28-2013 |
| 20130167848 | Heel Protection Device - A heel protection method and device for the protection of heel ulcers includes an inflatable bladder adapted to be positioned adjacent a calf of a patient and a sensor adapted to be positioned adjacent a heel of the patient for detecting pressure at the heel. A microprocessor is adapted to receive a signal related to pressure at the heel, from which it determines whether an allowable level has been exceeded. If an excessive pressure level is sensed, the microprocessor transmits a signal to a separate device that alerts the caregiver to inflate the inflatable bladder or automatically by way of a pump operatively connected to the microprocessor. The method and device avoids excessive pressure at the heel by sensing the pressure at the heel, and redistributing the pressure from the heel to the calf if an allowable pressure level has been exceeded. | 07-04-2013 |
| 20130178745 | ULTRASOUND TRACKING ADAPTER - An ultrasound tracking adapter assembly that attaches to an ultrasound transducer in a repeatable, rigid, and tool-less manner. When used with a tracked body, the position of the tracking technology devices and the ultrasound transducer is fixed, so intraoperative calibration is not necessary. This permits a 3D guidance system and 2D ultrasound to be used together. The adapter provides a secure, rigid hold between the ultrasound transducer body and the clamping body. The ultrasound probe clamp assembly is attached to specific probe instruments used in the operating room that are to be tracked using 3D positioning technology. | 07-11-2013 |

| 20080242647 | Use of Molt-Accelerating Compounds, Ecdysteroids, Analogs Thereof, and Chitin Synthesis Inhibitors for Controlling Termites - The subject invention relates in part to the oral administration of ecdysteroids for controlling subterranean termites. Preferred ecdysteroids for use according to the subject invention are ecdysone, certain ecdysone analogs, and 20-hydroxyecdysone, for example. In some preferred embodiments, one or more of these compounds is used in a termite bait in combination with one or more chitin synthesis inhibitors (CSI), such as hexaflumuron and/or noviflumuron. The subject invention also relates to mixtures comprising these two active ingredients. The ecdysteroid analog or molt-accelerating compound (MAC) typically induces a preliminary molting event in termite workers, which then allows the CSI to further disrupt the molt and cause mortality. The combination of these active ingredients, causing accelerated molting together with inhibition of chitin synthesis, is surprisingly shown herein to enhance activity against termites, as compared to either group of compounds alone. | 10-02-2008 |
