Publication number: 20220157463Abstract: Various embodiments disclosed herein relate to systems and methods for assessing patients suffering from joint-degenerating conditions. A computer system (400) can receive patient data comprising kinematic data and anthropometric data from a patient monitoring system (100). The patient monitoring system (100) can include various sensors (102, 103) configured to detect the kinematic data and/or anthropometric data as the patient (101) performs some action(s), for example. The computer system (400) can create a patient-specific biomechanical simulation based on the patient data and calculate metrics based thereon. The computer system (400) can compare the metrics to historical data and accordingly determine a treatment strategy based on the comparison.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 4, 2020Publication date: May 19, 2022Inventor: Brian MCKINNON

Publication number: 20180178025Abstract: The disclosure relates to implant systems and methods for stimulation of the cochlea, auditory nerve, and/or vestibular system using an intra-cochlear magnetic stimulation electrode array that uses targeted magnetic stimulation to induce neural activation without the need for mechanical transduction. The magnetic field produced by the array stimulates portions of the cochlea or provides signals to the vestibular system.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 27, 2017Publication date: June 28, 2018Inventors: Sagarika Mukesh, Pamela Bhatti, David Blake, Brian McKinnon

Patent number: 8652210Abstract: Knee prostheses featuring components that more faithfully replicate the structure and function of the human knee joint in order to provide, among other benefits: greater flexion of the knee in a more natural way by promoting or at least accommodating internal tibial rotation in a controlled way, replication of the natural screw home mechanism, and controlled articulation of the tibia and femur respective to each other in a more natural way. In a preferred embodiment, such prostheses include an insert component disposed between a femoral component and a tibial component, the insert component preferably featuring among other things a reversely contoured posterolateral bearing surface that helps impart internal rotation to the tibia as the knee flexes.Type: GrantFiled: November 23, 2010Date of Patent: February 18, 2014Assignees: Smith & Nephew, Inc., The Trustees of the University of PennsylvaniaInventors: Jason Otto, Brian McKinnon, Dean Hughes, Michael Ries, Jan Victor, Johan Bellemans, Johnathan Garino, Timothy Wilton

Publication number: 20130299500Abstract: A closed fueling system with a passive vapor return comprising a cap and nozzle which selectively seal together defining passages for fuel delivery and vapor return. The cap and nozzle are sealed when the cap and nozzle are not connected together. The system optionally includes a downtube which conveys fluid to the bottom of the receiving tank, permitting filling from the bottom of the tank and minimizing atomization and vapor creation.Type: ApplicationFiled: May 8, 2012Publication date: November 14, 2013Applicant: AKNUNA TECHNOLOGY, LLCInventor: Brian McKinnon
