  • Patent number: 8961536
    Abstract: A handpiece arrangement for a tool having a retaining member configured to receive a portion of the tool in a secure position, a guard configured to cover a portion of the tool, at least one mounting member configured to receive a portion of a tracking system and an actuator mounted to the handpiece. The actuator may be configured to control the exposure of the tool. A navigated surgery kit is also provided including a tracking system, a tool in communication with the tracking system, a platform in communication with the tracking system and the tool. The platform may have a processor, a computer readable storage medium having computer readable program code configured to selectively control shaping of an object with the tool via at least one hidden object associated with a predetermined navigated surgical operation.

  • Patent number: 7804212
    Abstract: A sealant containment gasket is provided for use on an electric motor to be used in a moist environment. The inventive gasket includes a first upright wall that covers a power-supply opening in the motor with a wiring passageway and further includes a second upright wall, at least a portion of which is spaced away from the first upright wall. The walls of the gasket cooperate to form a pocket to receive wiring extending through the opening in the motor. The pocket also defines a cavity between the walls with a filling hole disposed along a top margin thereof. Liquid sealant is inserted into the cavity through the filling hole when the motor is disposed right-side-up and on its feet in the assembly position. The liquid sealant is contained within the pocket and forms a barrier around the wiring passageway to prevent moisture from entering the motor.
