Patent number: 9909446Abstract: A compact, highly-reusable, self-locking includes a body component, a flexible beam finger component with a plurality of axially-oriented flexible beam fingers and one or more outwardly extending tabs, an annular detent ring component including a plurality of detents in radial alignment with the plurality of flexible beam fingers, and a biasing component engaging the flange of the flexible beam finger component and the annular detent ring component for providing a biasing force to urge the flexible finger beam component in a direction of a central, longitudinal axis of the self-locking plug. The flexible beam finger component moves relative to the annular detent ring component when the body component is rotated about the central, longitudinal axis, A, of the self-locking plug, thereby causing the plurality of flexible beam fingers to travel across the plurality of detents and cause elastic deformation of the flexible beam fingers.Type: GrantFiled: November 21, 2016Date of Patent: March 6, 2018Inventor: Kurt Kevin Bynum

Patent number: 9593700Abstract: A compact, highly-reusable, self-locking includes a body component, a flexible beam finger component with a plurality of axially-oriented flexible beam fingers, a tab sleeve component including one or more downward extending tabs, an annular detent ring component including a plurality of detents in radial alignment with the plurality of flexible beam fingers, and a wave spring disposed between the tab sleeve component and the annular detent ring component for providing a biasing force to urge the tab sleeve component in a direction of a central, longitudinal axis of the self-locking plug. The flexible beam finger component moves relative to the annular detent ring component when the body component is rotated about the central, longitudinal axis, A, of the self-locking plug, thereby causing the plurality of flexible beam fingers to travel across the plurality of detents and cause elastic deformation of the flexible beam fingers.Type: GrantFiled: October 3, 2014Date of Patent: March 14, 2017Inventor: Kurt Kevin Bynum

Patent number: 8882384Abstract: A compact, highly-reusable, locking device includes a carrier, roller elements, a body, and a band spring. The carrier includes a plurality of apertures for receiving each a corresponding roller element. The body includes a plurality of detents separated by ridges. The number of detents is different than the number of roller elements. The body is at least partially received in the carrier such that the detents are in radial alignment with the apertures. The band spring is disposed about the roller elements. The roller elements travel across the detents and ridges to cause elastic deformation of the band spring when the body is rotated about a central axis.Type: GrantFiled: April 5, 2011Date of Patent: November 11, 2014Assignee: Moeller Manufacturing Co., Inc.Inventor: Kurt Kevin Bynum

Publication number: 20050033127Abstract: A system for predicting blood glucose values in a patient includes a remote wireless non-invasive spectral device, the remote wireless non-invasive spectral device generating a spectral scan of a body part of the patient. Also included are a remote invasive device and a central processing device. The remote invasive device generates a constituent value for the patient, while the central processing device predicts a blood glucose value for the patient based upon the spectral scan and the constituent value.Type: ApplicationFiled: January 27, 2004Publication date: February 10, 2005Applicant: Euro-Celtique, S.A.Inventors: Emil Ciurczak, Gary Ritchie, Howard Mark, Kevin Bynum

Patent number: 6558957Abstract: The present invention relates to an improvement in a detection system used for continuously measuring the release of a drug from a pharmaceutical dosage form comprising a singular dissolution vessel or multiple dissolution vessels containing a dissolution medium and a measuring device for detecting the amount of drug released at a given time, the improvement comprising a mixing shaft and a probe placed within the mixing shaft or outside the individual dissolution vessels, the probe capable of measuring the dissolution characteristics using UV, IR, near-IR, fluorescence, electrochemical, and Raman spectroscopy techniques. The present invention also relates to a method for predicting the dissolution curve provided by a controlled release pharmaceutical dosage form comprising taking continuous measurements of the amount of drug released from a dosage form for a portion of the time over which the drug is expected to be released and predicting the remainder of the dissolution curve based on the values obtained.Type: GrantFiled: November 7, 2000Date of Patent: May 6, 2003Assignee: Delphian Technology, Inc.Inventors: Kurt Roinestad, Frank S. Cheng, Philip J. Palermo, Kevin Bynum
