Title: The original primal edge erector head gear exercise apparatus
Inventor: PEART CARLTON ROY
IPC: A63B23/00
Filed: 2009-06-25
Abstract: 1). The erector head gear is a free standing application, the first vertical total body exercise that is achieved virtually hands free; by exerting the stress retention from the head only.   The Edge exercise apparatus designed is simulator to that of a helmet. First prototype design:  made from Nylon straps to fit the head snug Just under the occipital lobe then circling the heads side trmporalis muscle and suited just under the frontalis muscle of the forehead.   2). The Head Gear is suited on the head, it has (6) connector rings are attached to either resistance rubber bands or resistance cable weight mechanism. The user can perform lateral extension or half to full forward or backward crunches down or out to any angle the body will extend to; from a upright vertical 90* degree stance either standing or sitting with the option to change connectors and pivot a full 360* degree radius from one to all four sides of the body's natural directional form of movement.   3). When the user engages the exercise from the anterior view; all cervical neck muscle down to the abdominals and oblique muscle contracts at the same time to support the action of the exercise. This process contracts a variety of muscle groups while the user focuses on particular muscles at the same time. Using the Head Gear Apparatus the user can get a total body work out exercising both external and muscle groups. With the Head gear the user can target weak vulnerable muscle groups and strengthen them into vital assets of powerful tools.     Exercise example:     To feel the force of the muscle contraction: Hoe the muscles relay from top to bottom to support each other during the exercise. Please try the following example.   1. Stand arms length away from a person of the same height.  2. Place the palm of your hand on their forehead. 3. Hold their other hand for their own balance and stability. 4. Ask the person to push hard forward with their head while you palm and brace their forehead.  5. This similar could be done at the side of the head or legs.   You will find it takes you very little strength to hold them in that place even at their hardest push.  The body is extremely weak in forward/backward or side to side movement.   Ask them where they feel the most muscle contraction In trying this exercise you will realize the use of: The Erector Head Gear
Patent CA-2673894-A1 (CA)
Inventor: GRUSIN NATHANIEL KELLEY
IPC: A61B17/72
Filed: 2009-07-24
Abstract: Treating fractures using one or both of an implant, such as an intramedullary nail, and a fastening assembly, such as a lag screw and compression screw assembly.  The implant in some embodiments has a proximal section with a transverse aperture having a non-circular cross-section that may be shaped to selectively constrain the fastening assembly within the transverse aperture. Two or more components of the fastening assembly may be received to slide, in a controlled way, in the transverse aperture of the implant, and to cooperate to resist a force moment applied thereto. Without the presence of one of the components, such as the lag screw, another component, such as the compression screw may not resist a force moment applied thereto. In some implementations, an engaging member and a compression device of the fastening assembly are configured so that the compression device interacts with a portion of the implant and a portion of the engaging member to enable controlled movement between first and second bone fragments. This configuration is useful for, among other things, compressing a fracture.

Abstract: A centrifugal pump for abrasive fluid. The pump may include a bearing housing mounted to a tank containing an abrasive fluid. The bearing housing may house wear-susceptible components in a manner distancing and isolating the components from the fluid. A shaft may be coupled to the bearing housing and disposed through the tank to an impeller for dispensing the abrasive fluid beyond the centrifugal pump. Additionally the impeller itself may be housed within an impeller housing that is mechanically coupled to the bearing housing in order to enhance dimensional stability therebetween. Such a centrifugal pump may be coupled to other pumps such as higher pressure positive displacement pumps. In these circumstances the centrifugal pump may be used to facilitate the mixing of the abrasive fluid and provide a degree of pressurization thereto in advance of the fluid's use at an operation site. For example, where the fluid is a cement slurry, a triplex pump may be coupled to such a centrifugal pump for use in a cementing application at an oilfield.
