Publication number: 20240141174Abstract: The invention relates to spray-dried, washfast dye compositions (preferably in the form of pigment powders) having a bleeding rate of ?0.5% and consisting of water-soluble functional dyes, preferably food dyes, which are firmly incorporated in a silica matrix. Apart from low bleeding of dye, these compositions are remarkable for their high stability to pH changes and/or ascorbic acid. The invention is also directed to the production of the dye compositions and the use thereof. The dye compositions are preferably employed in coloring foods, cosmetics, pharmaceutical products, but also in other uses.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 1, 2023Publication date: May 2, 2024Inventors: Volker Lischewski, Christoph Roth, Michael Felicetti, Katrin Schwager

Patent number: 10045864Abstract: A trial implant system including a trial implant configured to be temporarily inserted into an intervertebral space defined by a superior vertebral body and an inferior vertebral body is disclosed. The trial implant may include a superior plate and an inferior plate coupled to the superior plate. The superior plate may have a first mating portion that defines a first articulating interface and the inferior plate may have a second mating portion that defines a second articulating interface. The second articulating interface may be configured to interact with the first articulating interface of the superior plate such that at least one of the superior plate and the inferior plate is capable of movement relative to the other. The first and second articulating interfaces may be primary or auxiliary articulating interfaces. For example, the first and second articulating interfaces may be corresponding curved surfaces or they may be corresponding engagement features.Type: GrantFiled: June 19, 2015Date of Patent: August 14, 2018Assignee: Depuy Synthes Products, Inc.Inventors: Robert Hes, Bart Conix, Sean Saidha, Cyril Baudouin, Christoph A Roth, Salman Chegini

Patent number: 9414870Abstract: Translational bone fixation assemblies, kits containing such assemblies, and methods of use are described herein. The described assemblies may be used in spinal fusion procedures in which a damaged or diseased disc (or part of a disc) is removed from between a pair of vertebrae and a spinal fusion spacer is placed between the vertebrae. The assemblies may be applied to an anterior portion of the affected vertebrae to span the affected disc space, and may be fixed to the vertebrae using bone screws. The assemblies may function to maintain the vertebrae aligned during the initial period following fixation in which fusion of the spacer to the adjacent vertebrae occurs. The assemblies may also function to share some of the axial spinal load applied to the fusion spacer to prevent extreme subsidence of the spacer into the vertebral body, such as where the patient has poor bone quality.Type: GrantFiled: July 13, 2012Date of Patent: August 16, 2016Assignee: DePuy Synthes Products, Inc.Inventors: Christopher J. Ryan, Sean S. Suh, David S. Rathbun, Christoph A. Roth, David Koch
