Title: Comparing human muscle strength on opposite sides
Inventor: SCHULTE ALOIS
IPC: A61B50/22
Filed: 2009-12-16
Granted: 2014-12-11
Abstract: A muscle strength measuring apparatus has a force receiver connected to a force sensor. An upright bracing surface is rigidly positioned with respect to the force receiver to provide a testing space between the surface and the force receiver. The receiver is adjustable such that a person standing in the testing space can brace against the surface and exert a force against the force receiver with a first muscle on each side of the person's body, and can then adjust the position of the force receiver and exert a force against the force receiver with a second muscle on each side. Thus comparative strengths of muscles on opposite sides of the person's body can be accurately determined by measuring the isometric force exerted by corresponding muscles on each side. 17_ 15 35--5 25)

Granted: 2016-02-18
Abstract: A tissue retaining system (10) having a pair of tissue retainers (12) for retaining two end portions (52, 54) of tubular tissue (14), such as a heart valve, to a bioreactor (8) is disclosed. Each tissue retainer (12) includes a stepped portion (30) that permits custom fitting of the tissue retainer (12) to a particular size of tubular tissue (14). The tissue retainer (12) further includes a tubular portion (32) in communication with the stepped portion (30) that provides a means for engaging the tissue retainer (12) to the bioreactor (8) through a tubular connector. The stepped portion (30) of each tissue retainer (12) defines a plurality of progressively larger concentric steps (36) in which one of the concentric steps (36) matches the size of a particular tubular tissue (14). The tubular tissue (14) is then anchored to the tissue retainer (12) by suture pull downs (40) that anchor the tubular tissue (14) to one of the plurality of concentric steps (36) of the tissue retainer (22) in a fluid tight engagement. A clamp (37) may also be engaged to the tubular tissue (14) to further secure the tubular tissue (14) to the tissue retainer (12) in a fluid tight engagement. This engagement process is repeated to secure the other end portion (52, 54) of the tubular tissue (14) to another tissue retainer (12) such that the tissue retaining system (10) may then be engaged to the bioreactor (8).

Title: System for managing an aircraft-originated emergency services call in an airborne wireless cellular network
Inventor: MALOSH MARK
IPC: H04W4/90
Filed: 2009-05-05
Granted: 2015-07-02
Abstract: The Aircraft Emergency Services Call Management System enables the unique identification of each passenger wireless device in use in an aircraft and the corresponding identification of the passenger associated with the passenger wireless device. This passenger wireless device registration data is stored as database entries in a ground-based Automatic Location Identification (ALI) database which associates each aircraft with its registered passenger wireless devices. The origination of an emergency services call by any registered passenger wireless device results in the call being routed to a serving Public Safety Access Point (PSAP) where the passenger is connected to an emergency services operator. Since the aircraft flight crew and cabin crew are the only personnel on site that can be relied upon to provide some sort of emergency services response, they are included in the emergency services call.

Title: Glaucoma shunts with flow management and improved surgical performance
Inventor: VAN DER MOOREN MARRIE H
IPC: A61F9/007
Filed: 2010-03-25
Granted: 2014-11-13
Abstract: A method of treating glaucoma in an eye by managing fluid flow past an implanted shunt having an elastomeric plate and a non-valved elastomeric drainage tube. The plate is positioned over a sclera of the eye with an outflow end of the elastomeric drainage tube open to an outer face of the plate. An inflow end of the drainage tube tunnels through the sclera to the anterior chamber of the eye. The plate may have regions of greater propensity for cell adhesion alternating with regions of lesser cell adhesion. For example, regions of texturing around the plate or drainage tube may be provided to control the size of a bleb that forms over the implant. The effective surface area of the plate may be balanced against a number of fenestrations. The drainage tube has a reduced profile and may be shaped with a non-circular external cross-section to reduce its height. A scleral groove may be used to further reduce the height of the drainage tube on the sclera. A flow restrictor for the early post operative period will immediately lower the intraocular pressure (IOP) and simultanously prevent hypotony.
