Patent number: 10973505Abstract: A retractor for use in surgical operations comprises a pair of blade assemblies. In operation, the blade assemblies are initially in a closed position to assume a low profile, inserted into a relatively small incision, and stretched apart from each other, thereby stretching the skin about the incision to form an aperture longer than the incision. The retractor is adapted to rotate a first blade about a first axis and a second blade about a second axis. The retractor is adapted to move the pair of blade assemblies apart along a third axis. The retractor is adapted to pivot the first blade about a fourth axis and the second blade about a fifth axis. In some embodiments, a method of performing an operation, e.g. a spinal operation, on a patient using the disclosed retractor is provided.Type: GrantFiled: February 27, 2017Date of Patent: April 13, 2021Assignee: Spinal Elements, Inc.Inventors: David Ortiz, Kyle Elsabee, Jason Blain, Tyson Vogel

Publication number: 20210085306Abstract: A retractor for use in surgical operations comprises a first blade, a second blade, and a third blade. In operation, the blades are initially in a closed position to assume a low profile during insertion. The blades can be independently translated and independently pivoted, thereby stretching the skin about the incision to form an aperture larger than the incision. In some embodiments, a method of performing an operation on a patient using the disclosed retractor is provided.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 16, 2020Publication date: March 25, 2021Inventors: Kristen Clauss, David Ortiz, Jason Blain

Publication number: 20190154268Abstract: If hobs are integrated into built-in furniture, care must be taken to ensure that during operation the temperature in or on the built-in furniture does not exceed permissible limit values. It is proposed to fasten a temperature sensor in the hob housing by means of a heat-conducting retaining element. The retaining element is arranged on the hob housing such that essentially the heat output into the worktop is transmitted via the retaining element to the temperature sensor.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 17, 2018Publication date: May 23, 2019Inventors: Beatriz Arenas Jimenez, David Ortiz Sainz, Daniel Palacios Tomas, Carmelo Pina Gadea

Patent number: 10003407Abstract: An efficient coding and modulation system for transmission of digital data over plastic optical fibers with low latency. In particular, the digital signal is coded by means of a two-level coset coding. The first level applies to the digital data a binary shortened BCH coding and performs coset partitioning by means of constellation mapping and lattice transformations. The second level is uncoded but undergoes mapping and lattice transformation. After an addition of the two levels, a second-stage lattice transformation is performed so as to obtain a zero-mean constellation. The symbols output from such three-level coset coder are then further modulated.Type: GrantFiled: January 13, 2016Date of Patent: June 19, 2018Assignee: Knowledge Development for POF, S.L.Inventors: Ruben Perez De Aranda Alonso, David Ortiz, Dunia Prieto
