  • Low-profile enterostomy device
    Patent number: 7682346
    Abstract: An enterostomy device for providing fluids and nutrients through a stoma formed through the abdominal wall of a patient is described. The enterostomy device, which may be configured as either a gastrostomy device or a jejunostomy device, comprises a low-profile retaining member which is configured to be unobtrusively positioned within the stomach or the intestine, and which is configured to provide sufficient surface area for contacting the stomach or intestine to prevent unintentional removal or release of the enterostomy device from the patient. The enterostomy device is also structured with a low-profile port hub for facilitating the inflation of the retaining member and feeding and venting through the stoma.

  • Method for forming ballistic joints
    Patent number: 7653979
    Abstract: A bullet trap is disclosed which is formed without intervening sidewalls to enable cross-shooting and the like with reduced risk or ricochet or damage to the bullet trap. Furthermore, the bullet trap can be configured in a variety of ways to eliminate the need for facing plates while providing a removable attachment mechanism, to enable repair on the trap, to reduce bullet adhesion to the trap and to provide improved containment of lead and improved access to the trap.

  • Modular ballistic wall
    Patent number: 7621209
    Abstract: A modular ballistic wall is disclosed for use in shoot houses and the like. The modular ballistic wall can be formed from metal plates having key-holes formed therein which are held together by facing and backing strips. Additionally, the modular ballistic wall is preferably formed so that the bolts used to hold the facing and backing strips to the metal plates do not directly secure a bullet containment frame to the facing and/or backing strips, to thereby prevent damage to the bullet containment frame from weakening the joint formed by the metal plates and the facing and backing strips.
