  • Patent number: 12370635
    Abstract: A lock and pin for the structural and fluid tight repair of cracks not amenable to high temperature repairs or synthetic material patches. Fluid tight pins and locks seal the crack while one or more locks prevent the crack from growing. These repairs need to endure the remaining life cycle of the machinery part while withstanding all the strain, pressure, heat and expansion and contraction of the part before the crack(s) were formed. Often these cracks evolved due to engineering design flaws that will require even greater strength from these areas than when new.
    Type: Grant

  • Publication number: 20230225772
    Abstract: An orthopedic drill bit includes a cutting head formed to include diametrically opposed cutting lips leading to a central point and away to a radiused periphery to center said bit. The drill includes flutes extending from a cutting end, said flutes having a dulled periphery to prevent out of round holes. The flute design increases in width progressively from the tip up the shank, to maintain an adequate and unrestricted space for chips to easily move upward, preventing the chips from being compressed into a smaller opening while maintaining the tapered depth of the flutes for strength.

  • Patent number: 10441385
    Abstract: A fastener for embedment in bone includes a chevron-shaped thread pattern having a first radial superior surface at an angle beta on a blank relative to a longitudinally extending axis of the fastener, a second radial superior surface at an angle alpha inboard to the first radial superior surface and relative to the longitudinally extending axis such that the two superior surfaces form a V-shape geometry. The fastener further includes a flank surface underlying the second radial superior surface at an angle gamma, the angle gamma defining an angle with the longitudinally extending axis that is 90°, a relief surface underlying the first radial superior surface such that the flank surface and the relief surface form a V-shape geometry, and a radially-outermost surface adjacent to the relief surface and defining a major diameter of the thread pattern, the radially-outermost surface being parallel to the longitudinally extending axis of the fastener.

  • Publication number: 20180361826
    Abstract: A heating system for an automobile that selectively produces heat quickly. The controlled vehicle heating system includes a resistive heating element located within the main duct of a vehicle wherein all vents of the vehicle are connected to the main duct. The resistive heating element is connected to the vehicle's electric heating and cooling system and battery. The system includes a control circuit with a temperature sensor designed to monitor the temperature of the engine. The control circuit is operably connected to the resistive heating element and a heater fan within the vehicle. The control circuit is designed to deactivate the resistive heating element and heater fan when a predetermined temperature is reached. A thermostatic actuator is connected to the resistive heating element which allows a user to selectively control the operation of the resistive heating element. The user can then quickly and selectively control the heat of the car.
