Title: Flexible implant with adjustable coils
Inventor: SENGUN MEHMET ZIYA
IPC: A61B17/04
Filed: 2021-12-20
Granted: 2023-03-16
Abstract: Devices and methods for securing a graft with respect to bone are provided. One 
exemplary embodiment of a surgical implant includes a flexible filament body and a suture 
filament or repair construct that extends through the filament body at multiple locations. The 
repair construct is formed into one or more coils, which can receive a graft. The flexible 
filament body can be configured to be actuated between unstressed and anchoring 
configurations, the latter of which sets a location of the suture filament, and associated graft, in a 
bone tunnel. More particularly, the flexible filament body can ball up, or become denser, to a 
size that cannot pass into the bone tunnel in which the suture filament holding the graft is 
disposed. The present disclosure also provides for feedback units to assist a surgeon in knowing 
a location of the implant. Further, other exemplary devices and methods are provided.

Abstract: PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a method and a device for speech speed conversion in which high degree of comprehension is obtained and real time speech conversion is realized employing a simple process. SOLUTION: A measurement is made for a length Tn of the noise segment between a phrase that is a voice segment and a next phrase. When the length Tn exceeds a time threshold Tth, the phrase following the above phrase is discriminated to be a beginning of sentence phrase. When the length Tn is shorter than the value Tth, the phrase that follow are discriminated to be middle of sentence phrases. Then, for the beginning of sentence phrase, a two-steps A pattern expansion is conducted from the leading phrase. For the middle of the sentences, a three-steps B pattern expansion is conducted.

IPC: B01D61/54
Filed: 1999-09-24
Granted: 2011-11-02
Abstract: A method and apparatus is provided for inhibiting scaling in an electrodeionization system and, more particularly, for increasing tolerance to hardness in the feed water to an electrodeionization unit by inhibiting precipitation of scale-forming metallic cations contained in the feed water and thereby increasing efficiencies of the electrodeionization system. Water to be purified is passed through an electrodeionization unit in which the flow in the diluting compartment is countercurrent to the flow in the concentrating compartment. This is to impede the migration of scale-forming metallic cations from the diluting compartment, through the cation exchange membrane, into the concentrating compartment and towards the concentrating compartment side of the anion exchange membrane, thereby preventing scale formation on the anion exchange membrane. The electrodeionization unit may be further modified by dividing the concentrating compartments into first and second compartments by a porous diaphragm or ion-conducting membrane. The porous diaphragm or ion-conducting membrane effectively eliminates convective transport of scale-forming metallic cations from the cation exchange membrane side of the concentrating compartment to the anion exchange membrane side of the concentrating compartment, thereby inhibiting scale formation on the anion exchange membrane.

Abstract: An artificial venous valve which incorporates a stent having one or more of the elements comprising its frame deformed inwardly towards its center and a biocompatible fabric attached to the one or more elements is utilized to replace or supplement incompetent or damaged venous valves. The elements are deformed and the fabric attached in such a way as to form valve flaps, which when there is no pressure differential on opposite sides of the flaps, substantially occludes the lumen of the vessel into which the artificial valve has been deployed. When there is a pressure differential, albeit slight, due to the pumping of the heart, the flaps easily open and allow blood to flow therethrough while substantially preventing backflow.
