Abstract: The present disclosure provides new and innovative bone anchors and bone anchor insertion systems that enable smaller bone holes by eliminating the need for a cannula to transport the bone anchor. The provided bone anchors and insertion systems also help prevent damage to suture used in a bone anchor insertion procedure. The bone anchor includes a securement portion that surrounds a core portion. The securement portion includes multiple wings that are shape-set to be splayed outward from the core portion, though may be bent towards or away from the core portion in response to an applied force. The core portion includes a rod extending from a head. The rod includes a drive feature such that a surgeon may engage an inserter with the rod to drive the bone anchor through a bone hole. The bone hole walls maintain the bone anchor in a compressed state.

Abstract: A neuro-surgical clamp device that has a semi-circular track that partially circles the patient's head. A C-clamp clamps securing to the patient's head, with the semi-circular track clamped to the C-clamp with a vice-clamp with at least one moving jaw. The C-clamp is coupled to a base bar though a series of three arms and four rotatable joints so that the semi-circular track can be tilted and rotated to any angle with respect to the patient's head. Instrument attaches can be clamped anywhere along the semi-circular track.

Abstract: A system and method for preventing leaving a cellular telephone behind that includes a portable device which contains a pairable transceiver such as a BLUETOOTH™ transceiver that can pair with another pairable transceiver in a cellular telephone. The cellular telephone alarms with a particular ring tone when the portable device which the user carries typically on a key chain when pairing between the portable device and the telephone is broken by the user moving out of range of the telephone.

Abstract: A personal motorized cooling fan designed to retract and fold into a vertical tower for economy of shipping, storage and desk space. Each fan blade includes a blade portion and a root portion that rides in a race that guides the blades as they splay during rotation. When the fan is turned on, the rotation of the shaft and therefore race, combined with centrifugal force, causes the blades to splay forming a radial array. A protective cage including an array of longitudinal members expands in a fan-like manner. The cage is engaged with ribbons of stretch fabric that retract and fold along with the cage and blades after use. The entire assembly folds tidily into a slender tower.
