  • Patent number: 10773461
    Abstract: A plastic product having magnetic properties and a method for making the same is provided. The method comprises creating a mixture of a nylon and a metal, melting the mixture to create a melted mixture of the metal suspended in the nylon, injecting the melted mixture into a mold to harden the melted mixture and shape the melted mixture into the product's shape, applying an electrical current to the mold while the mixture is in a viscous state to align the poles of the metal suspended in the nylon in the mixture in a single direction before the mixture has hardened, and applying a magnetic field to the hardened mixture to provide the product with magnetic properties.

  • Patent number: 9135897
    Abstract: An improved apparatus for retaining a guitar pick is provided, which includes a ring with a magnetic component being attached, by a chain for example, to a guitar pick also including a magnetic component. The apparatus allows a performer to release or drop the guitar pick, either intentionally or unintentionally, and have the guitar pick be maintained in the performer's hand by its attraction to the magnetic component of the ring. The guitar pick may be made from a magnetic material, including for example stainless steel or a magnetic plastic.

  • Patent number: 6325755
    Abstract: A mountable transducer assembly with removable sleeve provides for efficient and versatile implantation of transducers that are part of an implantable hearing assistance system. The invention provides for a universal connector and bracket where the universal connector can be removed from the bracket without the necessity of unmounting the bracket from its implanted location, for example, attached to the mastoid bone in the middle ear region. Further, the invention provides for three-dimensional movement of a transducer assembly attached to a removable column which further extends the flexibility and options for an implantation surgeon when implanting an implantable hearing-assistance device requiring one or more transducers. The sleeve, with attached transducer assembly, is further slidably adjustable in a longitudinal manner, to further extend the options and flexibility for the implantation surgeon to achieve good contact between a transducer and a target anatomical structure within the middle ear.
