  • Patent number: 10839713
    Abstract: A training system includes a computer system, a display system and a motion capture device. During use the training system presents a computer simulation of a virtual subject capable of exhibiting nystagmus to a trainee. The movements of the trainee are captured using the computer system during the administration of an HGN test to the virtual subject. During the administration of the HGN test to the virtual subject, the training system simulates nystagmus in the virtual subject.
    Type: Grant

  • Patent number: 7811608
    Abstract: An osteogenic composition is prepared by a process including the steps of subjecting demineralized bone to an extraction medium to produce an insoluble extraction product and a soluble extraction product, separating the insoluble extraction product and the soluble extraction product, drying the soluble extraction product to remove all or substantially all of the moisture in the soluble extracting product, and combining the dried soluble extraction product with demineralized bone particles. Preferably, the process does not involve heating.

  • Patent number: 7484741
    Abstract: A top-mounted, wide-track axle assembly for a skateboard. The axle assembly includes an axle frame member having a length of at least eight inches and formed substantially in a shape of an inverted “W”. A central portion of the axle frame member is provided with a mounting bracket having a downwardly projecting pin and a slot-shaped hole for pivotably and tiltably mounting the axle frame member on a top surface of the skateboard in a direction perpendicular to a traveling direction of the skateboard. Outer arm portions are provided on opposite ends of the axle frame member for accommodating a pair of right and left wheels outboard of side edges of the skateboard.

  • Patent number: 4551390
    Abstract: This invention pertains to a method to permit the molding of a plurality of plies of polymeric compositions into an integral molded object having a minimum number of internal flaws and, therefore, improved properties. The plies are positioned in contiguous relationship, and the initiation of the polymerization reactions is controlled by selecting catalyst systems which substantially simultaneously initiate polymerization in each of the plies to prevent the development of curing seams at the points of contact between the plies.
