Publication number: 20180041161Abstract: A mounting system and techniques for securing solar panels to a fixed structure including a plurality of mounting brackets and tracks and a plurality of mounting feet that connect to the tracks and anchor to the fixed structure. Each mounting bracket has a means to interconnect and interlock with the mounting brackets on adjacent solar modules. In addition, the mounting feet have a quick release mechanism to connect and disconnect from the track. The mounting feet are appropriately selected for the given fixed structure or roof type. The solar module system, in accordance with certain embodiments, has toggle anchors to reliably mount into sheathing plywood or OSB material. The solar module system, in accordance with certain embodiments, also describes an electrical conduction and coupling system for solar modules that integrates electrical coupling with mechanical coupling at the point of mechanical attachment.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 2, 2016Publication date: February 8, 2018Inventors: Neil GOLDBERG, Troy Douglas TYLER, David SCHULZ, Bron DAVIS, Eugene KIM, John WOLFE, Miguel Martinho Lopes PRACA

Publication number: 20090054853Abstract: A surgical tool system including a tool such as a retractor, forceps or a power activated tool. The system also includes a source of gas and a means for inducing the flow of a agent that has a therapeutic effect into the gas stream. The tool has a bore into which the gas stream is introduced. The tool also has a discharged port from which the gas stream is discharged toward the site to which the tool is applied. The gas plume that is discharged from the tool forms a barrier that prevents airborne contaminates from reaching the site to which the tool is applied. The tool also has a device for emitting energy separate from any energy the tool emits to perform its function. This energy emitter emits energy that activates the therapeutic agent discharge from with the gas.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 21, 2008Publication date: February 26, 2009Inventors: Richard F. Huyser, Douglas Tyler, SR., David S. Goldenberg

Publication number: 20070233146Abstract: A system for forming an implant to stabilize an interior of a vertebral body is provided. The system includes a delivery cannula. A plurality of elements are disposed adjacent to one another in the delivery cannula with void spaces defined between the elements. A fluent material, capable of setting to a hardened condition, is disposed within at least a portion of the void space in the delivery cannula. A push rod is movably disposed within the delivery cannula to apply a force to move the elements through the delivery cannula and into the interior of the vertebral body. Upon application of the force, the elements simultaneously carry the fluent material through the delivery cannula and into vertebral body to delivery the fluent material at a low pressure. The fluent material sets to the hardened condition to secure the elements and form the implant.Type: ApplicationFiled: January 26, 2007Publication date: October 4, 2007Applicant: STRYKER CORPORATIONInventors: Bruce Henniges, Richard Huyser, Douglas Tyler
