Publication number: 20190142598Abstract: A second generation, version III prosthetic joint for replacing a metatarsophalangeal joint of a human foot has a metatarsal head component with a convex bearing surface that rotates, inverts and everts, and slightly abducts and adducts; normal movement of a healthy human great toe joint, against the concave surface of the phalangeal base second component. The base is elliptical and formed by two different radii of curvature with a desired ratio and constructed of high density medical grade polyethylene. The internal surface is titanium alloy with an intentionally irregular roughened surface for increased bone attraction and increased surface tension. The stem is a shortened square alloy peg. also roughened.Type: ApplicationFiled: July 13, 2018Publication date: May 16, 2019Inventor: RICHARD DONALD KOENIG

Patent number: 10166508Abstract: In accordance with the present invention, there are provided simplified systems and methods for deactivating, removing, or reducing the levels of reactive component(s) from vapor phase fluids prior to introduction thereof into fuel storage tanks. The simple apparatus described herein can be utilized to replace complex systems on the market. Simply stated, in one embodiment of the invention, the vapor phase fluid contemplated for introduction into the fuel storage tank is passed through a reaction zone (e.g., a catalytic bed) operated at appropriate temperatures to allow the reaction between free reactive components therein (e.g., oxygen and hydrogen or other fuel vapor), thereby deactivating reactive component(s) in the gas phase.Type: GrantFiled: August 20, 2008Date of Patent: January 1, 2019Assignee: Phyre Technologies, Inc.Inventors: Santosh Y. Limaye, Stuart Robertson, Donald Koenig, Wesley Jung

Patent number: 10155180Abstract: In accordance with the present invention, there are provided systems and methods for contacting two or more fluids, useful, for example for purifying or infusing a fluid (by allowing efficient and/or uniform addition of components to or removal of components from the fluid). The components may be undesirable components to be removed from a fluid, or a desired component or components to be added to the fluid, for example, each of which is referred to herein as “component”. In this regard, the disclosed embodiments provide for the purification or infusion of a fluid by passing a liquid and a fluid through a contacting zone which facilitates intimate mixing of the liquid and the fluid. A differential of partial pressure, activity, fugacity or concentration of the components between the liquid and the fluid facilitates the transfer of the components between the liquid and the fluid in the intimately mixed liquid and fluid.Type: GrantFiled: April 28, 2010Date of Patent: December 18, 2018Assignee: Phyre Technologies, Inc.Inventors: Donald Koenig, Wesley Jung, Santosh Y.
