Patent number: 10130491Abstract: The embodiments of the present disclosure relate to a spinal implant assembly having features to prevent or minimize fixation elements, such as screws, from being dislodged, or from backing out over time and with use. The spinal implant assembly may comprise an implantable body having first apertures for receiving fixation elements. A plate configured to nest against the posterior portion of the implantable body and comprising one or more second apertures can be provided. These second apertures permit access to the head portions of the fixation elements. One or more locking elements are then passed through the second apertures and engage the head portions of the fixation elements. In addition, the plate may comprise an adjustable arm to allow the plate to be used with implantable bodies of different size.Type: GrantFiled: October 18, 2016Date of Patent: November 20, 2018Assignee: CENTINEL SPINE, INC.Inventors: Jason E.

Patent number: 9928317Abstract: Techniques for employing an additive design process to design heat sinks are disclosed. A heat sink “grows” through an iteration process. During each iteration step, an object is added to a location determined based on simulation. The criterion for the determination may be being a location having a highest fluid apparent surface temperature value or being a location having a highest bottleneck heat transfer characteristic value. The thermal performance of the newly derived structure is simulated. If a predetermined condition is met, the object is kept. Otherwise, the object is removed and the location is marked so that the same addition may not occur subsequently. The iteration process may be repeated.Type: GrantFiled: August 12, 2015Date of Patent: March 27, 2018Assignee: Mentor Graphics CorporationInventors: Robin Bornoff, John Parry

Patent number: 9918850Abstract: The embodiments provide a spinal implant that is configured for midline insertion into a patient's intervertebral disc space. The spinal implant may have a body and the body comprises one or more apertures. The apertures receive fixation elements, such as a screw and the like. The fixation element may comprise one or more anti-backout features, such as a split ring. In addition, at least some of the apertures are designed to permit a predetermined amount of nutation by a fixation element. The apertures that allow nutation enable the fixation element to toggle from one position to another, for example, during subsidence of the implant in situ. Some of the apertures may be configured to rigidly lock with the fixation elements. Moreover, the spinal implant may include features, such as one or more bores, that can accommodate imaging marks to help guide a surgeon.Type: GrantFiled: October 27, 2014Date of Patent: March 20, 2018Assignee: CENTINEL SPINE, LLCInventors: John S. Thalgott, David T. Stinson, Anthony J. Fennell, John Parry, John J. Viscogliosi

Patent number: 9769051Abstract: A target network transceiver is tested or monitored using an intelligent transceiver programmed to perform such testing and to transmit test results to a remote server. A demarcation unit enclosure is provided that includes two ports for the target and intelligent transceivers that are connected by a direct data link. An interface circuit connecting control interfaces of the two transceiver ports polls the target transceiver and passes polled control information to the intelligent transceiver.Type: GrantFiled: January 13, 2015Date of Patent: September 19, 2017Assignee: VIAVI SOLUTIONS INC.Inventors: Michael McCallen, John Parry, David George Coomber, James Goodchild, Brian Sungwan Kim

Publication number: 20170091356Abstract: Aspects of the disclosed technology relate to techniques of improving heat sink designs based on systematic mass removal. A thermal simulation is performed to determine thermal property values for a heat sink design. The thermal property value of a portion of the heat sink design relates to the portion's contribution to thermal performance of the heat sink design. One or more portions of the heat sink design are selected based on the thermal property values and removed to generate a new heat sink design. The performing operation and the removing operation are repeated until one of one or more predetermined conditions is met.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 27, 2016Publication date: March 30, 2017Inventors: Robin Bornoff, John Richard Wilson, John Parry
