  • Publication number: 20060284421
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a connection assembly and method suitable for high-pressure applications. Specifically, end fittings securable to a fuel line may be configured to reduce the stress concentration factor between the fuel line and the end fitting. The end fitting is spherical and the mating structures have conical surfaces contacting the spherical end fitting to increase the assembly's tolerance of misalignments between the end fitting and mating fitting.

  • Publication number: 20060205381
    Abstract: Wireless power receiving apparatus (150) is retrofitted to a portable electrical device (100) to enable the device to receive power wirelessly. The apparatus comprises a power-receiving element (200) adapted to be attached to the device, e.g. by adhesive (201), and also being adapted to receive power wirelessly from a transmitter of power when the element and transmitter are in proximity with one another. One or more power connectors (203) are connected electrically to the power-receiving element and are adapted to be connected, when the apparatus is in use, to one or more corresponding power connectors (101) of the portable electrical device to deliver power received by the element to the device. The power-receiving element may be in the form of a sticker or may be carried by or incorporated in a replacement cover portion for the portable electrical device.

  • Publication number: 20060138260
    Abstract: An apparatus for bone milling includes a housing defining a first opening, a second opening opposite the first opening, and a linear passage from the first opening to the second opening. The linear passage has a first surface with third opening there through and a second surface transverse to the first surface. A rotatable cutting member is insertable through the third opening to partially block the linear passage. The rotatable cutting member is positioned at a distance from the second surface of the linear passage corresponding to a predetermined bone chip size.

  • Publication number: 20060111730
    Abstract: The present invention provides a medical device for reducing a rod towards a bone fastener, the medical device having a shaft defining a proximal end and a distal end, where the shaft further defines a first threaded portion. A gripper assembly may be coupled to the distal end of the shaft, where the gripper assembly is engageable with the bone fastener. The medical device also includes a slide element slideably disposed on the shaft and coupled to the gripper assembly, with the slide element defining a second threaded portion. A pusher element is slideably coupled to shaft, whereby the pusher element defines an aperture engageable with the rod. A shaft grip can be rotatably engaged with the first threaded portion of the shaft, and the shaft grip can abut at least a portion of the pusher element.

  • Publication number: 20060076922
    Abstract: There is disclosed a system and method for transferring power without requiring direct electrical conductive contacts. There is provided a primary unit having a power supply and a substantially laminar charging surface having at least one conductor that generates an electromagnetic field when a current flows therethrough and having an charging area defined within a perimeter of the surface, the at least one conductor being arranged such that electromagnetic field lines generated by the at least one conductor are substantially parallel to the plane of the surface or at least subtend an angle of 45° or less to the surface within the charging area; and at least one secondary device including at least one conductor that may be wound about a core. Because the electromagnetic field is spread over the charging area and is generally parallel or near-parallel thereto, coupling with flat secondary devices such as mobile telephones and the like is significantly improved in various orientations thereof.

  • Publication number: 20050173573
    Abstract: An apparatus for bone milling includes a housing defining a first opening, a second opening, a third opening, and a linear passage from the first opening to the second opening. The bone mill further includes a rotatable grinding member, wherein the rotatable grinding member has a substantially cylindrical, rod-like shape, with at least a portion of the rotatable grinding member substantially filling or occluding a portion of the linear passage. An actuator element is coupled through the third opening to the rotatable grinding member, and a receptacle is removably coupled to the second opening for retaining the milled material.
