Patent number: 11980757Abstract: The spinal cord stimulation device of this invention is configured for implantation into a patient so as to traverse the dura mater that surrounds the spinal cord. Placing the device in this location provides direct contact between the electrode and the cerebrospinal fluid (CSF), in close proximity to the spinal cord. The device has an intradural portion and an extradural portion that compresses and seals the dural membrane between them, securing the device in position and preventing leakage of CSF. The position of the device may be stabilized in relation to the spinal cord by way of a laminoplasty plate, bridging between the device and a vertebra. The device is electronically powered by an implanted pulse generator that produces a spectrum of signals to interrupt or otherwise attenuate transmission of pain mediating neural signals through the spinal cord.Type: GrantFiled: December 1, 2020Date of Patent: May 14, 2024Assignees: University of Iowa Research Foundation, University Of Virginia Patent Foundation, Direct Spinal Therapeutics Inc.Inventors: Matthew A. Howard, George T. Gillies, Logan Helland, Royce Woodroffe, Charles Romans, Saul Wilson, Daryl R. Kipke, David J. Anderson, Daniel J. O'Connell

Publication number: 20230061964Abstract: A construction support device is disclosed for support and assembly of planar members into complex structures. A construction support device can comprise a first and second unit that are separable where each support unit comprises a plurality of sinuate grooves between a plurality of sections with sinuate edges. The sections are flexible about a center to increase the width of the sinuate grooves to receive greater thickness of planar members. A cubic embodiment with flat outer surfaces and a spheric embodiment with round outer surfaces are disclosed.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 23, 2022Publication date: March 2, 2023Inventor: Howard Charles Roman, III

Patent number: 4555438Abstract: The following invention provides a fragrant wall covering having a polymer entrapped emollient-moisturizer composition incorporated therein. Since the emollient-moisturizer composition is incorporated into a dry blend of the polymeric material which is used to make the wall covering, the emollient-moisturizer composition is distributed substantially evenly throughout the polymer of the wall covering. In the illustrated embodiment of the invention, the emollient-moisturizer composition comprises a volatilizable material having a strong, recognizable odor. Because of its even distribution in the polymer of the wall covering, the volatilizable material is released gradually into the atmosphere, and the wall covering retains said recognizable odor for a substantial period of time.Type: GrantFiled: March 14, 1985Date of Patent: November 26, 1985Assignee: Dayco CorporationInventors: John E. Orsak, Charles A. Roman

Patent number: 4219376Abstract: A flexible acoustical wall covering, method of making same, and wall panel employing same are provided wherein such wall covering is comprised of a laminated construction comprised of a substrate and an outer layer bonded against the substrate with the outer layer having a roughened outside surface defined by projections and indentations which serve as miniature sound baffles and a plurality of spaced openings in and disposed perpendicularly through the laminated construction which allow sound waves to pass therethrough with a fluid impervious film sealing the openings and enabling the wall covering to be used as a fluid impervious covering yet with the film allowing substantially unobstructed passage of the sound waves therethrough.Type: GrantFiled: March 5, 1979Date of Patent: August 26, 1980Assignee: L. E. Carpenter & Company, Inc.Inventor: Charles A. Roman
