  • Patent number: 10060155
    Abstract: An apparatus including a first rail and a first locking strip, each having a first opening, and a first picket, having a first slot. The first locking strip may be inserted into the first rail so that the first openings of the first rail and the first locking strip align in a non locked state. At least part of the first picket may be inserted into the first openings of the first locking strip and the first rail, when the first openings of the first locking strip and the first rail are aligned in the non locked state. The first locking strip is configured to slide into a locked state in which part of the first locking strip is within the first slot of the first picket, while the first locking strip is within the first rail, and while the first picket is inserted in the first rail.

  • Patent number: 9649144
    Abstract: The present disclosure includes an electrosurgical apparatus for treating tissue at a target site. The apparatus has a shaft with a proximal end and a distal portion, the distal portion comprising a return electrode and electrode support. There is also at least one active electrode on the shaft distal portion, which has a proximal portion and a distal portion and a plurality of aspiration apertures disposed therebetween. These apertures are fluidly connected to a fluid aspiration cavity that is located within the electrode support, and the cavity is connected with a fluid aspiration element that is located along the shaft. The plurality of apertures vary in size and are generally arranged so that the larger sized apertures are disposed towards the electrode proximal portion and the smaller sized apertures are generally located towards the electrode distal portion.

  • Publication number: 20170122001
    Abstract: An overall device is provided for supporting one or more pickets of a fence in alignment at the same height, in a horizontal plane in order to replace a damaged fence picket or in order to assemble a new fence unit. The overall device may be comprised of a first rail; a first device fixed to the first rail at a first location; and a second device fixed to the first rail at a second location spaced apart from the first location. The first device may include means for temporarily attaching the first device to a horizontal rail of a fence. The second device may include means for temporarily attaching the second device to the horizontal rail of the fence while the first device is temporarily attached to the horizontal rail of the fence.

  • Publication number: 20160097216
    Abstract: An apparatus including a first picket having a first slot on a first side of the first picket and a second slot on a second side which opposes the first side of the first picket. The apparatus may further include a first locking strip having including a first opening including a first section having a first width and a second section having a second width, wherein the first width is larger than the second width. The apparatus may further include a first railing having a first opening and a second opening, wherein the first opening of the railing is substantially perpendicular to the second opening of the first railing. The first locking strip may be adapted to be inserted into the first opening in the first railing, and slid into the first railing and used to lock the first picket with respect to the first railing.

  • Publication number: 20030114925
    Abstract: A mechanical prosthetic heart valve with a pyrolytic carbon valve body having re-enforcing fibers in the valve body. The fibers may be short segments of graphite wire or continuous fibers may be wrapped around the valve body. The fiber may be arranged in loops and formed in repeating patterns around the valve body. Also, methods for making a prosthetic heart valve body having a first layer of pyrolytic carbon that is substantially free from fiber, a second layer comprised of fibers encased in pyrolytic carbon, and a third layer that is substantially free from fiber. The method may comprise placing a mandrel in a fluidized bed, coating the mandrel with a first layer of pyrolytic carbon, introducing a fiber, coating the mandrel and the fiber with a second layer of pyrolytic carbon, and coating the mandrel with a third layer of pyrolytic carbon.
