Abstract: A system comprising a synchronous three-phase electric motor and a controller is provided. The synchronous three-phase electric motor comprises a rotor, a stator, a plurality of coils, and a plurality of switching devices. The plurality of coils formed from conductive windings each wound around one or more of a plurality of stator teeth of the stator. The plurality of coils comprises a plurality of permanent coils and a plurality of bypass coils. The plurality of switching devices configured to selectively switch between a tapped position and a primary position. The controller is configured to provide a first switching command to the plurality of switching devices to switch from the primary position to the tapped position based on a transition signal. The transition signal is based on comparing an electrical characteristic associated with one or more input currents to the plurality of switching devices with a threshold value.

Abstract: The present disclosure relates to an adjustable suture lock loop for use in soft tissue repair and, more particularly, an adjustable suture lock loop constructed from a suture material having a lumen and one or more anchors. The adjustable suture lock loop can include a strand of braided suture material having a first end and a second end, and a lumen; and one or more anchors, wherein each anchor has two or more holes disposed therethrough that are large enough to permit the suture to pass therethrough; and both ends of the suture material pass through the lumen of a first section of the suture material, and wherein the first end of the suture material is free, while the second end is secured to form a loop.

Abstract: Described herein are devices and methods for securing sutures to tissue, particularly bone.
