  • Soft tissue repair system
    Patent number: 12257162
    Abstract: A soft tissue repair system is provided for covering or filling openings in the annulus of an intervertebral disc. The soft tissue repair system uses a single plug or a combination of a first plug and a second plug. The second plug is a flowable plug such as an adhesive material or a material that hardens to a flexible plug material. Each plug is configured to close the opening in the annulus and can be positioned within the opening, over the opening at the exterior surface or over the opening at the interior surface. The plug can also be combined with a clamping mechanism that engages the annulus to secure the plug in the opening.

  • SENSING NETWORK AND METHOD
    Publication number: 20110109464
    Abstract: A system and method are described for detecting toxic gas releases in an urban environment. The system includes a series of repositionable remote sensor nodes that are located in an environment containing a toxic gas, the sensor nodes including a chemical sensor and/or a meteorological sensor. The sensor nodes gather data relating to the type of gas released and the surrounding atmospheric conditions and relay the information back to a data processing hub where the data is collated and analysed to produce an indication of the likely spread of the gas plume, the likely danger to the surrounding population and an indication of the release point of the gas.
