  • Publication number: 20120253364
    Abstract: The Ergonomic Surgical Instrument Handle described herein is designed to efficiently grasp, maneuver and clamp tissues, objects and vessels within the surgical site. Surgical Instruments with the improved handle are ergonomically designed to be in line with the surgeon's wrist and hand as they relate to the surgical site. This novel design makes it easier to maneuver the instrument within the surgical site without awkward angles to the wrist and hand which reduces muscle fatigue and cramping.

  • Patent number: 7656051
    Abstract: A buoyancy vehicle apparatus includes a water or liquid source, such as a water tank, and a buoyant mass in communication with an electrical generator. The buoyant mass is lifted from a lower level to a higher level to store energy. The mass is stored at the predetermined height and released to travel downward when the electricity is needed. After the mass is released and pulled down by gravity, it will drive the generator to produce electricity. The system can store this energy with no loss in power over a long period of time.
