  • Self-locking surgical constructs and methods of use
    Patent number: 11690612
    Abstract: Surgical constructs that at least one fixation device, at least one flexible strand the forms at least one adjustable loop, and a self-locking mechanism, and methods of tissue repair using the same.
    Type: Grant

  • Dual amplitude modulation and polarization frequency modulation as well as compensation for noninvasive glucose monitoring
    Patent number: 10702197
    Abstract: An embodiment relates generally to an improved method and apparatus for modulating the amplitude and rotation of the plane of polarization of linearly polarized light for multiple uses but primarily as part of a noninvasive glucose monitoring system. As compared to previous monitoring systems, an embodiment provides faster monitoring while maintaining or even reducing noise and minimizing system complexity. Embodiments described herein address these concerns with a modulation and compensation approach that both uses a single high speed device and also modulation of the lasers.
