Patent number: 8267973Abstract: A fixable suture anchor plate including an anchor plate having a tunnel aperture that aligns with one or more bone tunnels formed in the bone. The anchor plate also includes one or more suture passages that align with one or more grooves formed along an edge of the anchor plate to permit passing a suture through the anchor plate after the anchor plate is fixed to the bone. The anchor plate also includes a screw hole that allows the anchor plate to be fixed to a bone with a screw. A method for tendon-to-bone repair includes sewing a medial row of stitches proximate to a medial line of tendon-to-bone attachment and securing the suture to the anchor plate through a bone tunnel and sewing a lateral row of stitches along a lateral line of tendon-to-bone attachment and securing the second suture to the anchor plate.Type: GrantFiled: February 27, 2008Date of Patent: September 18, 2012Assignee: Shoulder Options, Inc.Inventor: Scott Humphrey

Patent number: 8056639Abstract: A continuous feed injection unit used for example for injection and removal of continuous well string from wells operates in a dual speed configuration. The unit comprises a first hydraulic motor, a second hydraulic motor, cooperating continuous well string gripping chains connected to be driven by the first and second hydraulic motors, a hydraulic power supply connected to provide pressurized fluid to the first and second hydraulic motors and a control system for the hydraulic power supply. The control system for the hydraulic power supply has a motor speed control valve with at least a first and second operating configuration, the first operating configuration providing power fluid to the first and second hydraulic motors in parallel and the second operating configuration providing power fluid to the first and second hydraulic motors in series. The hydraulic power supply may be a conventional power tong hydraulic supply.Type: GrantFiled: July 3, 2001Date of Patent: November 15, 2011Inventor: Emanuel Kulhanek

Patent number: 7968797Abstract: A modular insulator system and assembly for attaching a conductor to a support member. The modular insulator assembly includes an insulator body attachable to a support member. A conductor retainer is attachable to the insulator body in a manner that forms a conductor passage between the conductor retainer and the insulator body. The modular insulator system includes an insulator body selected from a top-mount insulator body, a support passage insulator body, an insulator body including an extended neck, a surface mount insulator body and a combination surface/T-post mount insulator body the insulator body attachable to the support member and a conductor retainer selected from a group of conductor retainers including a bare conductive wire retainer, a narrow gage conductive tape retainer and a wide gage conductive tape retainer, the selected insulator body attachable to a support member and the selected conductor retainer attachable to the selected insulator body.Type: GrantFiled: June 6, 2008Date of Patent: June 28, 2011Inventor: James L. Williams

Patent number: 7935067Abstract: The present invention is directed to an anchored ankle brace including an anchor strap that connects an anchor member and ankle support member creating an increased resistance to lateral roll at the ankle. The ankle support member includes an ankle surround that surrounds and encloses at least a portion of the foot and an anchor member for positioning about the circumference above a midpoint of the lower leg characterized by a girth that is increasing as a distance from the ankle joint decreases. The anchored ankle brace also includes an anchor strap attached at a first end to the ankle support member and at a second end to the anchor member. The anchored ankle brace stabilizes the ankle joint increasing resistance to ankle sprain characterized by excessive inversion with planter flexion also known as “rolling the ankle”.Type: GrantFiled: June 6, 2008Date of Patent: May 3, 2011Inventors: John W. McChesney, Louis E. Murdock, Mark DeBeliso

Patent number: 7918298Abstract: A bi-directional ice-particle spray generating device for use on snow vehicles is disclosed which is primarily constructed of multi-strand wire rope. The use of wire rope as a spring member allows for 360 degree flexibility to enable the design to be compatible with reverse-gear-equipped snow vehicles. A replaceable wear point or points is integral in the design for added durability.Type: GrantFiled: April 9, 2008Date of Patent: April 5, 2011Inventor: Travis Andrew Cook

Patent number: 7726907Abstract: An automatic trip gate for installation in a gate support structure at a bank of an impounded body of water. The automatic trip gate controls a release of an overflow of water through the gate support structure upon the occurrence of an overflow event. The automatic trip gate includes a plate supported by a hinge assembly that attaches to the support structure. A trough attached to the plate catches and retains overflow water. When the level of overflow water in the trough reaches a tipping level, the plate pivots from a substantially vertical orientation wherein the impounded body of water is maintained behind the plate, to a tipped position wherein the impounded body of water is released o through the gate support. A plunge pool is located below the automatic trip gate that absorbs the energy imparted by the plate when tripped.Type: GrantFiled: August 10, 2007Date of Patent: June 1, 2010Inventors: C. Thomas McCreedy, Dennis Daugherty

Patent number: 7658028Abstract: A firearm security device including a frame to which a fixed plate and a movable plate are attached. A grip pad is attached to each of the opposing inner sides of the fixed and movable plates. A trigger guard stud is attached to and projects from the inner face of the fixed plate. The trigger guard stud inserts through the trigger guard of the firearm. Means are provided for shifting the movable plate from an open position wherein the firearm is positioned with the trigger guard stud projecting through the trigger guard, to a closed position where the movable plate is positioned substantially parallel to the fixed plate and at least a portion of the receiver of the firearm is held in a compressive grip between the grip pads. A lock selectively restricts operation of the shifting means and the movable plate.Type: GrantFiled: January 30, 2008Date of Patent: February 9, 2010Inventors: Kevin B. Pintar, Robert W. Corrigan

Patent number: 7631557Abstract: A grip force assessment device, method and system that can provide a grip force map image presenting a detailed image of the complex grip capability/capacity of a human hand including the palm and all digits improving over existing assessment systems and their attendant inaccuracy, poor reliability, and lack of meaningful clinical relevance. The grip force assessment system includes a grip force transducer including a high-resolution tactile array that produces a high-resolution grip force signal. A processing device processes, analyzes and outputs grip force data. A display provides a grip force map image showing distribution of individual finger function relative to entire hand function. The grip force transducer includes a high-resolution tactile sensor wherein the greatest distance between adjacent pressure sensing nodes is in the range of 1.0 mm to 10.0 mm.Type: GrantFiled: January 24, 2008Date of Patent: December 15, 2009Inventors: Mark DeBeliso, John W. McChesney, Louis E. Murdock
