Abstract: A surgical cutting tool with a body having a proximal end and a distal end; a cannula rotatably extending from the distal end of the body, the cannula having a proximal end and a distal end; a cutting head removably coupled to the distal end of the cannula, the cutting head having a distal tip and a cutting window; a hollow shaft movably positioned inside the cannula, the hollow shaft having a blade; a suction connector in fluid communication with the hollow shaft, the suction connector being configured for connection to a suction source; a suction control configured to alter suction from the suction connector to the hollow shaft; and an actuator coupled to the hollow shaft for moving the blade of the hollow shaft relative to the cutting window of the cutting head.

Abstract: A soft body armor panel includes a subpack that is formed by overlapping sections of ballistic material and sewing them at one or more seams to form discontinuous layers in the subpack.

Abstract: A body armor panel includes a subpack having at least one reinforcing strip sewn on ballistic material at a location to overlie a specific vulnerable area of the wearer's torso when the panel is worn by the wearer.

Abstract: The present invention is a food utensil that is used to handle and open baked potatoes. The utensil has a pair of canted cups that extend from a pair of arms. Opposite from the cups are a pair of handles that can be manipulated by the user. The arms are pivotally connected by a pin that allows corresponding movement of the handles and cups. A baked potato can be grasped by the cups, and then the potato opened by initially creating a slit along the exposed side of the potato while being retained in the cups. The handles are then squeezed to move the cups closer together and create a compressive force on the potato, concentrated at each end of the potato adjacent the ends of the slit by inward projecting protrusions in the cups pressing on the potato. The compressive force widens the slit and opens the potato, partially crushing the interior of the potato in the manner normally achieved manually. The opened potato can then be placed on a plate and removed from the cups.
