US Classification:

606246, 606278, 606301, 606305, 606308

Abstract:

Disclosed are embodiments of spinal fixation system connectors and related methods and apparatus. In one embodiment, a connector body is provided which comprises a slot configured to allow a spinal fixation rod to extend therethrough. The connector may also include a cap configured to be connected with the connector body and thereby circumscribe a portion of the rod. The cap may comprise at least two interior groove portions that may be configured to receive top portions of two opposing sidewalls on the connector body when the cap is engaged with the connector body.

Inventors:

- Salt Lake City UT, US
Nathan Otis Nelson - South Jordan UT, US

International Classification:

A61B 17/70

Abstract:

Spinal fixation system connectors comprising spring cage elements. In some embodiments, an engagement member, such as a bone screw, may be configured to be coupled with and received within a connector body. A spring cage structure may also be configured to be coupled with the connector body. The spring cage structure may comprise a spring configured to be positioned in a relaxed configuration and a flexed configuration, such that the spring defines an opening having a first size in the relaxed configuration and a second, larger size in the flexed configuration to allow the opening to receive and engage a head of the engagement member within the connector body.

Appl. No.:

14/927050

Inventors:

Gregory Whiting - Salt Lake City UT, US
Nathan Nelson - North Ogden UT, US

Assignee:

MARK G. MILLER, INC. - Layton UT

International Classification:

E04B 1/76
E04C 2/02
E04C 2/34
E04H 1/12

Abstract:

A building envelope system includes several elements that aid in reducing heat transfer. Panels combining insulation and radiant barrier materials, a weather-resistant textile (e.g., canvas) cover, tube insulation, a vestibule and strip curtains can all contribute to reducing heat transfer and, correspondingly, reducing energy requirements for heating and/or cooling. The panel can include a tongue and groove or similar (e.g., dovetail) coupling allowing two panels to mate. The panel can include a top insulation layer, top air gap layer(s), radiant barrier layer(s), bottom air gap layer(s), phase change insulation layer(s) and a bottom insulation layer. By including an air gap on both sides of the radiant barrier, the radiant barrier is effective at reducing heat transfer in and out of the shelter.
