Title: Method and device for the disintegration of especially inorganic materials
Inventor: KRAUSE PETER
IPC: C04B20/02
Filed: 2003-10-14
Abstract: The invention relates to a method for the disintegration and tribochemical activation of especially inorganic materials having a crystalline structure, wherein the starting materials are comminuted (disintegrated) to a particle size of less than 1 µm by the effect of impacting pressure fronts at a pulse duration of less that 10 s and a sequence frequency of more than 8 kHz.

Title: Screw-device for anastomosis
Inventor: DE WINTER ERWIN
IPC: A61B17/00
Filed: 2003-07-22
Abstract: The present invention, the screw-device, is a mechanical device for anastomosing hollow tube-like structures in the human body, such as blood vessels, bowels and ureters. It is thus not restricted to (micro-)vessels. I t can be used in every surgical operation dealing with anastomosis and bypass operations. It allows anastomosing end to side or side to side. The screw- device is very easy to apply onto the vessel wall. Screwing is a fast technique saving operating time and requiring only basic microsurgical skill s. The manufacturing is easy. Another advantage is that the screw-device can be mounted onto the receptor vessel without first opening and/or occluding this vessel. Later on, the receptor vessel wall can be opened with laser or scalpel. It should be understood that the foregoing is illustrative and not limiting, and that modifications may be made by those skilled in the art, without departing from the scope of the invention.

Title: Footswitch operable to control a surgical system
Inventor: BUCZEK MARK
IPC: A61B19/00
Filed: 2006-03-10
Abstract: The present invention provides a surgical footswitch that includes a base, a pedal, an encoder assembly, a wireless interface, and an internal power generator. The pedal mounts upon the base and pivots. The encoder assembly couples to the pedal. As the pedal pivots, the encoder assembly translates the mechanical signal o f the pedal into a control signal based on the pedals position and/or orientation. The wireless interface couples the encoder assembly to receive the control signal. The wireless interface also couples the surgical footswitch to a surgical console operabl e to control and direct surgical equipment. The wireless interface passes the control signal from the encoder to the surgical console, which then directs the surgical equipme nt based on the control signal. This wireless interface eliminates the tangle of wire s or tethers, which may be a hazard in the surgical theater. The internal power generator translates footswitch movement into stored energy to eliminate potential failures of th e footswitch during a procedure and overcome the need to replace batteries within the footswitch.

Abstract: EXTENDAGATE is a mechanical device, which allows for an extension of the original tailgate of a truck by the addition of the EXTENDAGATE which will be built inside of the original tailgate so when it's not in use you can not tell its even in there. This mechanical device will have a handle on the end of it to allow one to manually pull the EXTENDAGATE out or push it back in when finished using it. The purpose of this invention is to extend the length of the gate when its lying down or extend it up when its standing upright in It's locked position. The EXTENDAGATE will be used like a built in trailer but not for anything heavier then would be used on original gate. The EXTENDAGATE will help brace an item in an upright position when extended up and locked in or it will aid in fitting more material into the back of the truck when extended down and out in addition it will also have the ability to tie down the items as well for additional security.
