Patent number: 10610746Abstract: A ball striking device, such as a golf club head, includes a face having a ball striking surface configured for striking a ball and a body connected to the face and extending rearwardly from the face. The body has an impact-influencing structure in the form of a channel positioned on at least one surface of the body. A majority of a force generated by impact with a ball is absorbed by the impact-influencing structure, and a majority of a response force generated by the head upon impact with the ball is generated by the impact-influencing structure. The face may have increased stiffness as compared to existing faces, and may include a stiffening structure to create the increased stiffness, such as a porous or cellular stiffening structure.Type: GrantFiled: March 12, 2018Date of Patent: April 7, 2020Assignee: NIKE, Inc.Inventors: Eric A. Larson, Robert M. Boyd, Kenneth W. Brown, Martin Brouillette, Chris Scott Daniels

Patent number: 8574253Abstract: A method and device for tissue removal. The device may be used to remove uterine fibroids and other abnormal gynecological tissue. According to one embodiment, the device includes a housing, an outer tube, and an inner tube. The outer tube is fixed to the housing and includes a side window proximate to its distal end. The side window may have sloped proximal and distal ends. The inner tube has a distal end positioned within the outer tube, the distal end being adapted to rotate and, at the same time, to move back and forth past the side window, with the rotational and translational movement of the inner tube being independently controllable. The distal end of the inner tube may have an external bevel. Suction is applied to the proximal end of the inner tube to draw tissue into the side window and to remove resected tissue through the inner tube.Type: GrantFiled: April 4, 2008Date of Patent: November 5, 2013Assignee: Hologic, Inc.Inventors: William Harwick Gruber, Ronald David Adams, Albert Chun-Chi Chin, Eric Karl Litscher, Roy Hewitt Sullivan, Paul DiCesare, Jeffrey Radziunas, Daniel Vigliotti, Bryan Dale Knodel, Chris Scott Daniels, Kevin J.
