Publication number: 20240114839Abstract: The present invention involves a mechanism for collecting bales left in fields. The mechanism includes a bale collecting attachment configured for being operationally mounted on a vehicle, such as a skid skeeter, a tractor, wheel loader, all-terrain vehicle, or other off-road vehicle. The attachment includes a vehicle attachment portion. a frame support portion operably coupled to the vehicle attachment portion, and a bale securing portion pivotally mounted on the frame support. The bale securing portion has a spear, fork, clamp or similar mechanism to grab a bale in the field. In some embodiments, the bale securing portion is capable of pivotally moving the bale so that a bale may be picked up by the attachment, the vehicle may then move the attachment to a larger transport facility where the bale may be set down and unloaded.Type: ApplicationFiled: May 8, 2023Publication date: April 11, 2024Inventor: Jeffrey J PETER

Patent number: 11832807Abstract: A system and method for securing a medical implant within a patient includes disposing an anchor element around the implant, the anchor element including a pair of tabs each including an eyelet, and a flexible intermediate portion between the tabs, by positioning the implant within the intermediate portion and folding the anchor element such that the tabs contact one another. The anchor element is positioned at a desired implantation position with the tabs proximate soft tissue of the patient. The method further includes inserting a distal tip of a fixation element delivery tool through the eyelets and into the soft tissue, the fixation element including at least one tissue anchor and an adjustable suture arrangement coupled to the tissue anchor. The tissue anchor is deployed from the delivery tool and into the soft tissue of the patient. The delivery tool is withdrawn and the adjustable suture arrangement is tightened.Type: GrantFiled: September 29, 2021Date of Patent: December 5, 2023Assignee: Boston Scientific Neuromodulation CorporationInventors: Lawrence W.
