  • Publication number: 20170208977
    Abstract: A design for a new form of tongs that are designed to be used by children. The tongs have ornamental features and snap together in a manner that makes them fun to play with. The tong assembly is arranged so that it can be operated with a single finger by pulling and pushing the tongs in and out of an enclosure that can easily be snapped together. The tongs are also curved to create tension against closing and to assist in their opening.

  • Publication number: 20160000247
    Abstract: A utensil and chopsticks figurine for play and the preparation, presentation, and consumption of food which may comprise one or more of at least one of the following: a pair of chopsticks, two or more additional extending members, a bowled recess, tines, a knife, feet, and a figurine. The utensil is made of one piece of continuous material and may be jumped by pressing down on it in the same direction as the additional extending members and releasing. The utensil may also be stacked conveniently.

  • Patent number: 8055336
    Abstract: A method of removing an implantable electronic microdevice by an integral removal loop or circumferential ring to facilitate removal of the implanted microdevice without additional surgery. The device is removed by pulling it along the surgically created implantation path. Optionally a radio-opaque tether provides a method of locating the implantable microdevice without additional surgery and attachment of one end of the tether to a radio-opaque marker provides a method of locating the end of the tether to facilitate removal of the implantable microdevice from living tissue.

  • Patent number: 7670363
    Abstract: A method and apparatus for protecting an electronic implantable medical device prior to it being implanted in a patient's body. The apparatus affords protection against electronic component damage due to electrostatic discharge and/or physical damage due to improper handling. The apparatus is comprised of a circuit board having conductive surface means for receiving and releasably grasping the electrodes of the medical device to support the device's housing proximate to the surface of the circuit board. First and second conductive paths are formed on the circuit board extending between the first and second conductive surfaces for shunting electrostatic discharge currents to prevent such currents from passing through the device's electronic circuitry. The respective shunt paths include oppositely oriented diodes, preferably comprising diodes which emit light (i.e., LEDs) when current passes therethrough. Additionally, means are provided to enable functional testing of the medical device.

  • Patent number: 7515012
    Abstract: An automatic tuning system for a magnetic field generating tuned circuit includes a processor configured to maintain the resonant frequency of a tuned circuit equal to a reference frequency. The tuned circuit is driven by a power amplifier whose output provides an amplified signal at the reference frequency. The tuned circuit includes a magnetic field generating inductor and a bank of individually switchable capacitors controlled by the processor capable of adding and removing the respective capacitances to and from the tuned circuit. The inductor includes a Faraday shield to shield the tuned circuit from the influence of electric fields. In an embodiment of the invention, the variable capacitor is in the form of a diode variable capacitor (varicap) in parallel circuit relationship with the tuned circuit capacitor and the inductor.
