Patent number: 8425602Abstract: A curvilinear spinal access device having an expandable working portal. The device includes a slide having a channel with an open top and a movable top sized to cover the open top of the channel forming an expandable working portal with a proximal end and a distal end. The movable top can be moved between a closed position and an open position, wherein in the closed position the movable top blocks direct visualization between the proximal end and the distal end of the expandable working portal and in the open position movement of the movable top results in direct visualization from the proximal end to the distal end of the expandable working portal.Type: GrantFiled: July 23, 2009Date of Patent: April 23, 2013Assignee: Alphatec Spine, Inc.Inventors: Jeffrey Guyer, Thomas Purcell, Jens Peter Timm, Ali Araghi, Javier Garcia-Bengochea, Carl Lauryssen, Morgan Lorio

Patent number: 8358101Abstract: A charging system for use in charging a battery includes an elongate handle with a working length sufficient to reach a battery that is out of reach of a user. The charging system includes a charging apparatus coupled to the elongate handle. A head member is configured to mechanically engage with and electrically connect to a battery unit and also mechanically disengage and electrically disconnect from the battery unit by manually grasping and applying mechanical force to the elongate handle. The charging system also includes a power supply configured to provide electrical power to the charging apparatus. The charging system can be used to recharge the battery of a wall or ceiling mounted device (e.g., a battery powered lighting device) that is out of reach of the user without having to remove the device or use a ladder to reach the device.Type: GrantFiled: August 9, 2010Date of Patent: January 22, 2013Assignee: Versalite Associates, LLCInventors: Randal A. Dowdy, Jeffrey A. Guyer, Justin D. Pendleton, Brian L. Roderman, Eric A. Tanner

Patent number: 7772801Abstract: A wall or ceiling mountable lighting device comprises a self-contained single or multiple LED light source for emitting warm yellow-white light corresponding to halogen or incandescent light and a control circuit controlled by a remote control unit to energize and deenergize the light source and control light intensity. A rechargeable battery power source mounted on the lighting device is connectable to the apparatus for charging the battery without removing the battery from the device. The apparatus includes an elongated probe assembly releasably connectable to the lighting device to perform the recharging process. The lighting device is particularly adapted for ease of placement of a light source for decorative purposes and/or illuminating artifacts in locations which would require substantial structural modifications to install conventional lighting.Type: GrantFiled: September 25, 2009Date of Patent: August 10, 2010Assignee: Versalite AssociatesInventors: Randal A.
