US Classification:

424 93, 422187

Abstract:

Methods and apparatuses that facilitate dissolving a hyperpolarized agent within a polarizer and transporting it to a receiver is provided. The methods include delivering water to a hyperpolarized agent contained within a polarizer, forming a hyperpolarized aqueous solution, transporting the aqueous solution through a fluid path system out of the polarizer, filtering the aqueous solution through a partical size exclusion filter to a receiver, and modifying the pH of the filtered hyperpolarized aquous solution with a dissolution medium contained in the receiver. Also disclosed herein are apparatuses for dissolving a hyperpolarized agent comprising a vial for containing a hyperpolarized imaging agent therein, a dissolution fluid path, a delivery fluid path, a particle size exclusion filter, and a receiver connected to the particle size exclusion filter and positioned to receive the filtered aqueous solution of the hyperpolarized imaging agent.

US Classification:

66 90, 606 57

Abstract:

Embodiments of a surgical instrument disclosed herein can include mechanisms for reduction and distraction as well as compression. Some embodiments of the surgical instrument may comprise a reducer knob having a first passage through which a first shaft of a driver is acceptable, a connecting element coupled to the reducer knob and having a second passage through which the first shaft of the driver is acceptable, a compressor handle coupled to the connecting element at a first end and having a through hole, and a common handle coupled to the compressor handle via the through hole and pivots between the reducer knob and the compressor handle. With embodiments of a surgical instrument disclosed herein, surgical personnel can distract and hold vertebrae in a distracted state and perform a reduction without having to switch or add instruments. Some embodiments disclosed herein can be particularly useful for reducing spondylolisthesis during posterior fixation.

Peter Miller - Arlington VA

Assignee:

Lifesaving Systems, Inc. - Alexandria VA

International Classification:

A62C 3708

US Classification:

169 37

Abstract:

A sprinkler head is adjustably supported in three dimensions by an assembly including a first bracket having a cut-out and a second bracket having a cut-out. The first bracket has a circumferentially evenly spaced array of three threaded apertures around the cut-out. The second bracket has a similar set of unthreaded holes around its cut-out. Bolts extend through the second bracket and are threaded into the apertures of the first bracket. Nuts on the bolts may be used as stop elements. The second bracket is attached to fingers extending from the downcomer pipe to which the sprinkler head is attached. In a second embodiment, three fingers are provided, and they replace the second bracket. Adjustment of the sprinkler head about two orthogonal axes and along a third orthogonal axis parallel to the downcomer pipe can be achieved by turning the bolts from beneath the false ceiling through which the sprinkler head extends.

Assignee:

Eaton Corporation - Cleveland OH

International Classification:

G01D 1128

US Classification:

362 23

Abstract:

A display apparatus includes a solid state light-emitting element which is mounted on a base in an orientation so that light can be transmitted to a viewer from opposite major sides of the solid state light emitting element. To enable light to be transmitted to a viewer from opposite major sides of the solid state light-emitting element, the solid state light-emitting element is mounted in an on-edge orientation. To mount the solid state light emitting element in an on-edge orientation, support pins engage opposite minor side or edge surfaces of the solid state light emitting element and support it with the major side surfaces of the solid state light emitting element exposed and extending perpendicular to the mounting surface on the base.

Abstract:

In some embodiments, a spinal stabilization system may be formed in a patient using quick-connect sleeve assemblies. Each quick-connect sleeve assembly can be coupled to a bone fastener assembly in a fast and intuitive way. In one embodiment, a quick-connect sleeve assembly has a detachable member and a movable member. Both members engage a collar of the bone fastener assembly. In one embodiment, the engagement can be locked via one or more locking features to facilitate screwing a bone fastener of the bone fastener assembly onto a vertebral body in a minimally invasive surgical procedure. Each quick-connect sleeve assembly has a low profile and is particularly shaped for minimally invasive entry.

International Classification:

A61B 17/32
A61B 1/07

Abstract:

HIFU (High-Intensity Focused Ultrasound) sometimes FUS or MIFUS is a highly precise medical procedure using high-intensity focused ultrasound to heat and destroy pathogenic tissue rapidly in the brain for neurosurgical purposes, by causing coagulation necrosis. Here we have described a system that uses specially designed micro-transducer heads that are placed inside the later ventricles for the purposes of MIFUS lesioning of brain targets under real time MRI, endoscopic and Doppler guidance. A minimally invasive approach using Kocher's point allows small incisions with little bleeding, recovery time, infection risk and surgical time. This approach allows insertion of the micro-ultrasound transducers into the lateral ventricles of the brain avoiding skull bone attenuation of the ultrasonic waves and unnecessary heating of brain tissues in the process.
