Granted: 2014-05-13
Abstract: A printed image is disclosed wherein the image may be in the form of an array of magnetically aligned platelets or flakes that may by uniform in shape and size and wherein the flakes are arranged in a particularly manner to form optically illusive images useful as security devices, or useful in beam steering applications. In one embodiment of this invention printed array is disclosed a plurality of concentric rings of magnetically aligned platelets disposed upon a substrate in the form of a Fresnel structure, preferably a Fresnel reflector. Advantageously, since the magnetic field can be controlled with respect to strength and direction, one can easily design a field that will correct for spherical aberration that would otherwise be present in a typical Fresnel reflector. In other embodiments of the invention optically illusive images of funnels, domes and cones are printed.

Abstract: A voice over IP(122) (VOIP) soft phone access module (VSAM, 100) comprises a soft phone (102) client installed on a portable memory (106) device (PMD). The soft phone (102) client is installed in its own read-only partition. The soft phone client is adapted to auto-run from the PMD when the PMD is connected to a computing device (120) and to load an instance of the soft phone (102) client in the volatile memory (106) of the computing device. When used with a computing device comprising a duplex audio system with analog-to-digital conversion and an Internet (130) connection, the VSAM permits a VOIP service subscriber to send and receive VOIP telephone calls through a VOIP service (100) provider gateway. The VSAM may be associated with an activation code that when sent to the VOIP service provider gateway (140) associates a user with pre-paid soft phone usage credits. Alternatively, the soft phone client is installed on CD (102).

Title: Polyaxial bone screw with multi-part shank retainer
Inventor: JACKSON ROGER P
IPC: A61B17/86
Filed: 2005-11-17
Granted: 2010-10-26
Abstract: A polyaxial bone screw assembly (1) includes a threaded shank body (4) having an upper capture structure (8), a head (10) and a multi- piece retainer articulation structure (12). The geometry of the retainer structure pieces (12) corresponds and cooperates with the polyhedral or conical geometry of the capture structure (8) to frictionally envelope the retainer structure (12) between the capture structure (8) and an internal surface (80) defining a cavity (78) of the head (10). The head (10) has a U-shaped cradle defining a channel (66) for receiving a spinal fixation rod (21). The head channel (66) communicates with the cavity (78) and further with a restrictive opening (83) that receives retainer pieces (12) and the capture structure (8) into the head (10) but prevents passage of the frictionally engaged retainer structure (12) and capture structure (8) out of the head (10). The retainer structure (12) includes a substantially spherical surface that mates with the internal surface (80) of the head (10), providing a ball joint, enabling the head (10) to be disposed at an angle relative to the shank body (4). Methods of installation are also provided.
