  • Patent number: 11690734
    Abstract: Implant inserters and related methods are disclosed herein, e.g., for delivering a fusion cage or other implant to a spinal disc space and for rotating or articulating the implant within the disc space. An exemplary instrument can include an inner member having opposed jaws for grasping the implant and holding the implant during insertion. The inner member can be slidably received within an outer member such that relative axial translation of the inner and outer members is effective to open or close the jaws. The jaws and/or the distal end of the outer member can have a low-profile geometry, which can advantageously facilitate certain surgical procedures. For example, the low-profile geometry can allow for a more medial approach to an intervertebral disc space in which the implant is to be inserted.

  • Patent number: 9354318
    Abstract: Example implementations may relate to an obstacle detection system. In particular, an example device may include a light emitter, a line-image sensor, and a controller that are mounted on a rotatable component. In an example embodiment, the line-image sensor may receive light signals emitted from the light emitter. The controller may be communicatively coupled to the light emitter and line-image sensor and configured to determine a multipath signal based on the time of flight of the light signal and the position along the line-image sensor at which the line-image sensor received the given reflected light signal.

  • Publication number: 20120286911
    Abstract: A magnetic reduced effort braking apparatus for use to reduce the amount of effort required to depress the brake pedal of a vehicle. A rigid plate is secured to the floor of a vehicle between the gas pedal and the brake pedal and adjacent to the brake pedal and a first magnet is secured to the rigid plate. A second magnet is secured to the underside of the brake pedal slightly aligned with but slightly offset from the location of the first magnet. The magnets attract one another and reduce the amount of foot pressure required to depress the brake pedal.
