Patent number: 8435241Abstract: A keel punch impactor comprises a main body having an interior bore. A locking shaft is positioned in the interior bore of the main body, the locking shaft defining a shaft axis. An actuator is in contact with the locking shaft. The actuator is moveable between a first position and a second position. The position of the locking shaft is moved within the interior bore of the main body upon movement of the actuator. In particular, the locking shaft is moved such that the shaft axis is offset when the actuator is moved from the first position to the second position. When the shaft is moved, a head on the shaft is moved into or out of alignment with a boss extending from the main body of the keel punch impactor.Type: GrantFiled: December 19, 2008Date of Patent: May 7, 2013Assignee: DePuy Products, Inc.Inventors: Jose A. Correia, John Cuneo, Michael Fortin, Jim Kennedy, Carl Livorsi, Troy Martin, John J. McMorrow, Rebecca Zimmerman

Minimizing clock uncertainty on clock distribution networks using a multi-level de-skewing technique
Patent number: 7941689Abstract: Disclosed is a method of minimizing clock uncertainty using a multi-level de-skewing technique. The method includes the steps of obtaining a chip wherein at least a portion of the chip has a regular array of buffers on multiple levels, the buffers being driven by first drivers and the first drivers being driven by second drivers; grouping the buffers in a first direction to create clusters with the same number of buffer inputs, wherein if there are not the same number of buffer inputs in each cluster, then adding dummy buffers to the cluster with a deficient number of buffer inputs; wiring outputs of the first drivers together in a second direction, wherein the first and second directions are orthogonal; and wiring outputs of the second together in the second direction.Type: GrantFiled: March 19, 2008Date of Patent: May 10, 2011Assignee: International Business Machines CorporationInventors: Charlie Chornglii Hwang, Jose Correia Neves, Phillip John Restle -

Patent number: 6857343Abstract: A threaded fastener holder holds a screw in place and then automatically disengages from the screw and withdraws axially in the proximal direction to permit the user to continue inserting the screw without interruption. The threaded fastener holder has a shaft having a distal end for selectively engaging with a head of a threaded fastener. An inner sleeve surrounds at least a portion of the shaft, and is axially movable with respect to the shaft. The inner sleeve has a plurality of spring fingers disposed at its distal end, each of which has a distal end that is radially movable so as to be selectively engageable with the head of the threaded fastener. A first end of a spring is fixed with respect to the inner sleeve. The second end of the spring is fixed with respect to the shaft. In the rest position, the distal end of the plurality of spring fingers is axially spaced from the distal end of the shaft.Type: GrantFiled: September 30, 2003Date of Patent: February 22, 2005Assignee: Codman & Shurtleff, Inc.Inventors: Christina Easterbrooks, Jose Correia, Amadeu Mendes
