  • Publication number: 20210121293
    Abstract: Embodiments of this application relate to the use of porous coating implants to repair soft tissue injuries. Implant frames are coated with a porous coating, such as a titanium porous coating, for example, on both the bone-facing and the soft tissue-facing sides of the implant. The implant may then be sandwiched between the bone and soft tissue so that the bone grows into one side, and the soft tissue grows into the other side.

  • Patent number: 8702141
    Abstract: An object-carrying tray is provided that can be used by both left and right-handed users. The tray has a flat upper surface and a lower surface having a molded depression of two hands. The hands are positioned so that the palms, and several inner fingers overlap and the thumbs point in opposing directions. This configuration permits both a left or right-handed user to place his or her hand within the depressions. The user places his or her hand within the appropriate depressions to reduce the likelihood that the tray will slide around on a user's hand while the device is in use.

  • Patent number: 6157096
    Abstract: A shunt trip and switch breaker used to shut off electrical power to an electrical panel such as used to control the operation of electrical equipment for dispensing gasoline in a station. In order to insure that the breaker is not prematurely opened, for whatever reason, the power being supplied to operate the electrical panel is also continuously at the same time being supplied to the shunt trip. When a remote emergency button (E-button) connected to the shunt trip is actuated by depression, the shunt trip moves in unison with a connected circuit breaker to shut down power to all of the elements including those operated by the electrical panel. The switch breaker may have two movable handle elements that are operatively tied together to move in unison with similar elements on the shunt trip. The handle elements are controlled by the remotely generated input signal applied to terminal port on the trip shunt when the E-button is actuated.
