Patent number: 10631898Abstract: A spinal stabilization system generally comprises first and second anchor members configured to be secured to first and second vertebrae within a patient's body, a flexible element secured to the first anchor member, and a rigid element secured to the second anchor member. An end portion of the rigid element is coupled to an end portion of the flexible so that the system is able to provide both rigid and dynamic stabilization. The coupling is maintained even if the flexible element relaxes after a period of time within the patient's body.Type: GrantFiled: January 3, 2018Date of Patent: April 28, 2020Assignee: Zimmer Spine, Inc.Inventors: Emmanuel Zylber, Thomas Egli, Rosemary E.

Patent number: 9903481Abstract: A control valve having a closing element, mounted in a housing between an inlet side and an outlet side and rotatable about an axis between a first and second end positions, and a passage channel through the closing element perpendicularly with respect to the rotational axis. The channel has inlet and outlet openings and connects the inlet side to the outlet side in the first end position, disconnects the inlet side from the outlet side in the second end position, and permits an increasing throughflow of a medium during the transition from the second end position into the first end position with a characteristic curve. Low valve noise is achieved because of the shape, size and configuration of the inlet and outlet openings of the passage channel and the configuration of walls of the passage channel without steps and edges.Type: GrantFiled: May 9, 2014Date of Patent: February 27, 2018Assignee: BELIMO HOLDING AGInventors: Urs Keller, Andrew James Jukes, Giuseppe Cicerchia
