Filed: 2008-01-16
Abstract: The present invention provides cancellation of the cogging torque of a permanent magnet electrical machine using two sets of magnetic elements, one set being mechanically coupled to the stator and the other set being mechanically coupled to the rotor of the machine. At least one of the two set comprises permanent magnets and the magnetic elements of the other set can be made of permanent magnets or non-magnetized ferromagnetic materials such as soft iron. When the arrangement of the elements of the two sets are properly designed, magnetic attraction and repulsion forces between the magnetic elements of the two sets as the machine operates produces an anti-cogging torque that substantially cancels out the cogging torque of the machine.

IPC: A61B17/70
Filed: 2009-04-14
Abstract: A fixation device to immobilize a spinal motion segment and promote posterior fusion, used as stand-alone instrumentation or as an adjunct to an anterior approach. The device functions as a multi-level fusion system compromised of modular single-level implementations. At a single-level the implant includes a pair of plates spanning two adjacent vertebrae with embedding teeth on the medially oriented surfaces directed into the spinous processes or laminae. The complimentary plates at a single-level are connected via a cross-post with a hemi-spherical base and cylindrical shaft passed through the interspinous process gap and ratcheted into an expandable collar. The expandable collar's spherical profile contained within the opposing plate allows for the ratcheting mechanism to be correctly engaged creating a uni-directional lock securing the implant to the spine when a medially directed force is applied to both complimentary plates using a specially designed compression tool. The freedom of rotational motion of both the cross-post and collar enables the complimentary plates to be connected at a range of angles in the axial and coronal planes accommodating varying morphologies of the posterior elements in the cervical, thoracic and lumbar spine. To achieve multi-level fusion the single-level implementation can be connected in series using an interlocking mechanism fixed by a set-screw.

Abstract: The present invention describes a pet collar having one attachment point next to the collar's buckle with an integral weight, preferably of approximately 2 to 4 ounces. By shear gravity, the collar would remain in position so that the animal's identification tags are located under the animal's chin for easy identification. A secondary attachment point would be placed at the "top" of the collar with an enlarged loop making it very easy to attach the leash. Since the leash would be located between the pet's shoulder blades, the likelihood of the leash becoming tangled in the pet's legs would be greatly reduced. It would be preferable to make sure than the counter weight is heavier than the leash.
