Title: Intramedullary rod with spiraling flutes
Inventor: SIRAVO MARK
IPC: A61B17/74
Filed: 2005-06-08
Abstract: This disclosure relates generally to devices, systems and methods for the internal fixation of bone fractures, and particularly, to intramedullary fracture fixation devices such as those used in, for example, the treatment of long bone fractures. An IM rod preferably is provided with multiple curved sections in different planes preferably designed to conform with the long bones of a patient, both during insertion and in the rod's final position in the long bone. In addition, the overlap of portions of the curved sections results in a co-planar curvature of portions of the IM rod which assist in the insertion process by guiding the proper rotation of the IM rod as it is inserted into the bone. Spiralling flutes extending down the distal portion of the rod also assist in properly guiding and orienting the rod about its longitudinal axis during insertion such that the appropriate segment of the curved rod conforms with the appropriate portion of the long bone at the appropriate place.

Title: Belay device
Inventor: TAYLOR DAVID KENNEDY
IPC: A62B1/14
Filed: 2006-04-19
Abstract: A belay device is disclosed, which includes: a powered winding reel; a climbing rope attached at one end to the winding reel and, when in use, to a climber; and a control mechanism comprising load sensing means and an electronic control and diagnostic system.

Title: Implantable electroacupuncture device employing a high impedance coin-cell battery as a primary power source
Inventor: PETERSON DAVID K L
IPC: A61N1/36
Filed: 2014-03-12
Abstract: Some previously proposed implantable electroacupuncture devices (IEADs) are too invasive and/or provide ineffective treatment. Disclosed herein is an IEAD for treating a specified medical condition of a patient through the application of electroacupuncture (EA) stimulation pulses applied substantially at or near a specified target tissue location. The IEAD comprises a housing, pulse generation circuitry, a coin-cell primary battery and a sensor. The housing is small, thin, disc-shaped and has an electrode configuration that includes two electrodes/arrays. The longest linear dimension of the small, thin, IEAD housing is no greater than about 25 mm. The thickness of the housing that is measured in a plane orthogonal to the longest linear dimension, is no greater than 3 mm. One of the two electrodes/arrays comprises a central electrode/array located substantially in the center of a first planar surface of the IEAD housing. The other one of the two electrodes/arrays comprises a circumferential electrode/array located substantially around and at least 5 mm distant from the center of the central electrode/array. The first surface of the IEAD housing when implanted is adapted to face inwardly into the patient’s tissue at or near the specified target tissue location. The pulse generation circuitry is located within the IEAD housing and is electrically coupled to the two electrodes/arrays. The pulse generation circuitry is adapted to deliver stimulation pulses to the patient’s body tissue at or near the target tissue location in accordance with a specified stimulation regimen. The stimulation regimen defines the duration (T3) and rate (1/T4) at which a stimulation session is applied to the patient. The stimulation regimen requires that the stimulation session have a duration of T3 minutes and a rate of occurrence of once every T4 minutes. The ratio of T3/T4 is no greater than 0.05. During each stimulation session, EA stimulation pulses with one or more specified widths (T1) and amplitudes (A1) are generated at one or more specified rates (1/T2); The coin-cell primary battery is thin, contained within the IEAD housing and is electrically coupled to the pulse generation circuitry that provides operating power for the pulse generation circuitry. The primary battery has a nominal output voltage of 3 volts, and an internal impedance greater than 5 ohms. The sensor is contained within the IEAD housing responsive to operating commands wirelessly communicated to the IEAD from a non-implanted location. The operating commands allows limited external control of the IEAD.
