Patent number: 8496658Abstract: An implantable intramedullary fixation structure adapted to be received in the intramedullary canal of a long bone is disclosed comprising a plurality of elongated segments. Each segment has a first end and a complementarily-shaped second end such that the first end of a segment cooperatively engages the second end of an adjacent segment. The segments define a guide aperture so as to be receivable over a guide for positioning in the intramedullary canal.Type: GrantFiled: September 11, 2012Date of Patent: July 30, 2013Assignee: Sonoma Orthopedic Products, Inc.Inventors: James D. Stoneburner, Matthew T. Harmon, Roelof Trip, Charles E. Larsen, Daniel F. Justin, Karen E. Mohr, Carlyle J. Creger, Mojan Goshayesh

Patent number: 8128627Abstract: An implantable segmented intramedullary structure adapted to be received in the intramedullary canal of a bone configurable between a relatively flexible, bent configuration for implantation or extraction and a relatively rigid, straightened configuration for bone treatment. The segmented intramedullary structure comprises a plurality of interconnected segments with a first interface and a complementarily-shaped second interface such that the first interface of a segment cooperatively engages the second interface of an adjacent segment. The segments define a channel for a tensioning member to lock the structure in a compressed configuration.Type: GrantFiled: December 29, 2008Date of Patent: March 6, 2012Assignee: Sonoma Orthopedic Products, Inc.Inventors: Daniel F. Justin, Karen E. Mohr, Carlyle J. Creger, Jeremy D. Borchert, James D. Stoneburner, Mojan Goshayesh, Matthew T. Harmon, Roelof Trip, Charles E. Larsen

Patent number: 4523682Abstract: A method is described which uses acoustic energy to separate particles of different sizes, densities, or the like. The method includes applying acoustic energy resonant to a chamber (14) containing a liquid or gaseous medium to set up a standing wave pattern that includes a force potential well wherein particles within the well are urged towards the center, or position of minimum force potential. A group of particles to be separated is placed in the chamber, while a non-acoustic force such as gravity is applied, so that the particles (50-52 in FIG.2) separate with the larger or denser particles moving away from the center of the well to a position near its edge and progressively smaller lighter particles moving progressively closer to the center of the well. Particles are removed from different positions within the well, so that particles are separated according to the positions they occupy in the well.Type: GrantFiled: May 19, 1982Date of Patent: June 18, 1985Assignee: The United States of America as represented by the Administrator of the National Aeronautics and Space AdministrationInventors: Martin B.
