Patent number: 11709333Abstract: A holographic sight comprises a unitary optical component carrier having a plurality of receptacles for receiving optical components. A collimating optic abuts a surface of a first receptacle. A mirror abuts a surface of a second receptacle. A collar is positioned in a third receptacle and a laser diode is positioned within the collar. A first portion of the collar is affixed relative to a first portion of the third receptacle and a second portion of the collar is free to expand and contract relative to the third receptacle. The laser diode is affixed to the collar proximate the second portion and is free to move relative to the third receptacle with expansion and contraction of the second portion. The laser diode, the mirror, and the collimating optic are positioned relative to each other to create an optical path.Type: GrantFiled: July 1, 2022Date of Patent: July 25, 2023Assignee: EOTech, LLCInventors: Anthony Heath, Deanna Kay McMillen, Steven Kent Brown, John Coleman Horton, IV

Publication number: 20220175444Abstract: An irrigated electrode assembly has a proximal portion with a proximal end and a distal portion with a distal end. The assembly includes a first conduit defining an irrigation channel and a second conduit, both of which extend from the proximal portion to the distal portion of the irrigated electrode assembly. A proximal and a distal emitter is located on the distal portion of the assembly with the distal emitter being positioned distally relative to the proximal emitter. A fluid irrigation port is defined by the proximal or distal emitter and is in fluid communication with the first conduit. An insulative spacer extends between a distal end of the proximal emitter and a proximal end of the distal emitter. An insulative body houses the first and second conduits and extends from the proximal portion of the irrigated electrode assembly to a proximal end of the proximal emitter.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 23, 2020Publication date: June 9, 2022Applicant: Stryker CorporationInventors: Thomas Bowen Sprinkle, Sunil Udaya Simha Moda, Brandon J.

Publication number: 20210022751Abstract: A cleaning module for cleaning bone stock used in surgical procedures. The cleaning module includes a shell. The shell defines a void space to receive the bone stock. A cutter is rotating mounted in the void space. A shaving tube, also able to rotate, is coaxially disposed about the cutter. The cutter and shaving tube have complementary edges. A drive assembly rotates the cutter and shaving tube at different speeds, at different times or in different directions relative to the cutter. As a result of the rotation of the cutter and shaving tube soft tissue adhering to the bone stock is cut away from the bone stock by the relative rotating of the cutting edges of the cutter and shaving tube.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 12, 2020Publication date: January 28, 2021Applicant: Stryker CorporationInventors: Robert E.

Patent number: 9687361Abstract: A cleaning module for cleaning bone stock used in surgical procedures. The cleaning module includes a shell. The shell defines a void space to receive the bone stock. A cutter is located within the void space. A shaving tube is coaxially disposed about the cutter to move at different speeds and/or directions relative to the cutter. When actuated, the cutter rotates to clean the bone stock by cutting soft tissue from the bone stock. A tumble plate reorients the bone stock, while an arm moves across the tumble plate from a disengaged position to an engaged position to press the bone stock into the cutter through a window in the shaving tube. A drive assembly actuates the cutter, shaving tube, arm and tumble plate.Type: GrantFiled: June 23, 2014Date of Patent: June 27, 2017Assignee: Stryker CorporationInventors: Eric K. Diehl, Robert E.

Patent number: 9380759Abstract: A pet kennel that is structured to receive an animal includes an upper kennel portion and a lower kennel portion that include first and second engagement structures that are slidingly engageable. The upper kennel portion is situated in a first position atop the lower kennel portion offset from one another along a longitudinal axis of the pet kennel. The upper kennel portion is then translated along the longitudinal axis with respect to the lower pet kennel portion toward a second, assembled position to cause the first engagement elements and the second engagement elements to become slidingly engaged and to cause the upper and lower kennel portions to become aligned with one another. The upper kennel portion additionally includes a pair of latches that are engageable with the lower shell portion in the second position of the pet kennel to retain the upper and lower kennel portions in the second position.Type: GrantFiled: November 18, 2013Date of Patent: July 5, 2016Assignee: DOSKOCIL MANUFACTURING COMPANY, INC.Inventors: David Veness, Adam Ward Weber, Michael Don Harper, Benedict Joseph Messner, Hector Rodriguez, Kyle Joseph Becker, John Coleman Horton, IV, Anthony William Gatica

Publication number: 20160030677Abstract: Methods and systems for an injection system are provided. An example injection system includes a container for a pharmaceutical that is sealed at a proximal end with a plunger having a pushing surface for engaging an inner surface of the hollow body. A plunger rod extends axially from the proximal end of the container and is covered with a plunger rod cover. Removal of the cover activates the system and allows for delivery of the pharmaceutical product from the container by advancing the plunger within the container towards the seal.Type: ApplicationFiled: July 31, 2015Publication date: February 4, 2016Inventors: John Sundquist, Ben Rush, Edward Paul Browka, David L.
