  • Patent number: 10517732
    Abstract: A burr hole cover includes a cap or cap assembly and a retainer and is configured to be partially positioned within a burr hole formed in a patient. The retainer has a cap-receiving aperture; a plurality of grooves provided in the retainer and a plurality of cut-outs wherein each cut-out is provided at an end of each groove towards the outer perimeter of the retainer. A channel may be provided at an opposite end of each groove vertically-extending from the top to the bottom of the retainer to encourage a medical device segment to remain in a groove during installation of the burr hole cover. The burr hole cover may be used to secure segments of medical devices relative to a burr hole and to allow a range of lateral motion for the portion(s) of the medical device(s) extending proximally out of the corresponding groove.

  • Patent number: 7331522
    Abstract: A virtual gate provides the impression of a gated entry without a physical barrier. As such it functions as a gateway to access areas including transit Rail or, potentially, prepaid Bus services. The VG would require the interaction of the patron to present ticket media to the card reading mechanism. This action turns the gate light indicators to Green for Go or Red for No-Go, accompanied by corresponding tones to alert the patron and fare enforcement officers as to the status of validation. The ticket readers can be placed on both ends of the gate. This allows the gate to be configured for traffic flow in either direction or act as two equivalent Stand Alone Validators.
