Title: Method and apparatus for a front access removable agitator motor
Inventor: ROMANYSZYN ADRIAN M
IPC: B67D7/80
Filed: 2005-11-28
Granted: 2012-04-10
Abstract: An agitator motor assembly is removable from a front of an ice dispenser for servicing, thereby eliminating the need to gain entrance into a storage bin to uncouple the agitator motor assembly from an agitator bar assembly. The ice dispenser includes the storage bin having a port, the agitator bar assembly disposed within the storage bin, and the agitator motor assembly mounted to a front of an exterior portion of the bin. A shaft of the agitator motor assembly engages the agitator bar assembly through the port, such that the agitator motor assembly rotates the agitator bar assembly when powered. The agitator motor assembly further includes a fastening device that passes through a bore in the shaft and engages the agitator bar assembly, thereby coupling the agitator motor assembly to the agitator bar assembly. A method for removing the agitator motor assembly is also provided.

Title: Poumon-para-corporel d'assistance respiratoire
Inventor: FEDERSPIEL WILLIAM J
IPC: B01D63/02
Filed: 2006-04-21
Granted: 2015-07-14
Abstract: L'invention concerne un poumon para-corporel d'assistance respiratoire configuré avec une membrane cylindrique annulaire à fibres creuses (faisceau de fibres) mise en rotation à des vitesses variant rapidement. Un fluide (par exemple du sang) est introduit au centre du dispositif et il est passé radialement à travers le faisceau de fibres. Le faisceau est mis en rotation à des vitesses changeant rapidement à l'aide d'un actionneur tournant (par exemple, un accouplement moteur ou magnétique). La rotation du faisceau de fibres fournit une énergie cinétique centrifuge au fluide, donnant au dispositif des capacités de pompage et elle peut créer des tourbillons de Taylor afin d'augmenter le transfert de masse. La rotation du faisceau de fibres augmente la vitesse relative entre le fluide et les fibres creuses et elle augmente le transfert de masse. La porosité du faisceau de fibres peut être modifiée afin d'accroître l'échange gazeux avec le sang. Dans un autre mode de réalisation, un coeur rotatif peut être utilisé avec un faisceau de fibres fixe.

Abstract: A minimally invasive fixation system and method for providing access to a surgical site. The fixation system may include a holding assembly, the holding assembling preferably including a lateral implant holder which may be attached to a pedicle screw and a sleeve positioned in connection with the lateral implant holder to prevent the lateral implant holder from separating from the pedicle screw. The sleeve may further include a tissue protection portion to keep the tissue out of the surgical site. A holding sleeve may be operably connected to the holding assembly and pedicle screw and may be used to insert the pedicle screw into the body. Multiple constructs may be inserted into the body so that a portion of the holding assembly extends from the body and provides access to and visualization of the surgical site. A rod holder may also be used to insert a rod into the head of the screw. The rod may be held by the rod holder so that the rod may be angulated as the rod is inserted into the screw heads. Once the rod is positioned in the screw heads, locking caps and/or set screws may be positioned over the rod and engage the screw heads so that the position of the rod may be fixed with respect to the screws. In some embodiments, a movement mechanism may be used to move the screws relative to each other to compress and/or distract the vertebrae.
