  • Patent number: 9474555
    Abstract: An interspinous process implant comprising an elongated body defining a longitudinal axis and an interior cavity. The implant includes engagement members movable between a first position stowed within the interior cavity and a second position deployed from the interior cavity. Each engagement member includes a central hub defining a hub axis perpendicular to the longitudinal axis of the body. Each central hub has an inwardly extending crank pin. The crank pins are radially offset from the hub axis and circumferentially spaced apart from one another. The implant also include an elongated drive shaft mounted for axial movement within the interior cavity and includes a distal actuation portion having upper and lower yokes positioned to cooperate with the crank pins. Upon axial movement of the drive shaft the crank pins translate through respective arcuate paths about the hub axis, causing corresponding rotational movement of the engagement members about the hub axis.

  • Publication number: 20160262805
    Abstract: An interspinous process implant is disclosed that includes an elongated threaded implant body defining a longitudinal axis and having a main body portion with opposed proximal and distal end portions, and a removable body portion operatively connected to the proximal end portion of the main body portion, a distal anchor assembly including two deployable anchor blades mounted for pivotal movement between a stowed position located within an interior cavity of the main body portion and a deployed position radially extending from the main body portion, and a proximal anchor assembly including an anchor collar mounted for longitudinal movement along the longitudinal axis of the implant body between a first position spaced apart from the distal anchor assembly and a second position approximated with the distal anchor assembly.

  • Publication number: 20160213408
    Abstract: An interspinous process implant is disclosed that includes a body defining a longitudinal axis, an interior cavity and opposed proximal and distal end portions, a pair of anchor wings operatively associated with the distal end portion of the body and mounted for pivotal movement relative to the longitudinal axis of the body between a first position housed within the interior cavity of the body and a second position extending radially outwardly from the body, an anchor collar operatively associated with the proximal portion of the body and mounted for axial movement relative to the longitudinal axis of the body between a first position spaced apart from the anchor wings and a second position approximated with the anchor wings, a pair of anchor blades operatively associated with the anchor collar and mounted for movement between a first position housed at least partially within the interior cavity of the body and a second position extending radially outwardly from the anchor collar.

  • Patent number: 9376101
    Abstract: A control system to generate a yaw torque of an all-wheel drive vehicle comprises a brake control module 18. The brake control module 18 determines the desired powertrain torque 44 for the vehicle 10 based upon a plurality of factors including available torque from the powertrain. The brake control module 18 determines a first torque 44 and a second torque 26, wherein the first torque 44 and the second torque 26 are combined to provide the total desired yaw torque 49 of the vehicle 10. The first torque 44 is generated between wheels of the vehicle 10 by applying torque 44 from the powertrain 14 to different wheels 21 of the vehicle 10 and the second torque 26 is generated by applying different braking torque from a braking system 16 of the vehicle 10.

  • Patent number: 9316638
    Abstract: Methods and devices for reducing interference from leukocytes in an analyte immunoassay are provided. In one embodiment, a method is provided comprising the steps of amending a biological sample such as a whole blood sample with one or more leukocidal reagents that reduce or eliminate the metabolic activity of leukocytes, and performing an immunoassay on the amended sample to determine the concentration of analyte in the sample. Preferably, the sample is amended with one or more enzymes and optionally one or more enzyme substrates and cofactors.

  • Publication number: 20150216570
    Abstract: A bone fracture plate assembly including female and male plate portions. The female plate portion has a post, a female dovetail, and an extending arm with a group of ratchet teeth. The male plate portion has two upstanding posts, a male dovetail for coupling to the female dovetail so that the plate portions move linearly with respect to each other, a slot for the arm, and a pawl for engaging the ratchet teeth. A spring, coupled to the posts of the plate portions, dynamically connects the plate portions by applying a compressive load therebetween. The spring has a pair of elongated ears, each defining a slot to allow for relative movement of the plate portions. The ratchet teeth are engaged by the pawl to retain the plate portions together, and the spring mounts on the posts of the plate portions such that the spring biases the plate portions together.
