Publication number: 20080067775Abstract: A step for a large pickup truck has a tubular extension member having a square cross section. The extension member is sized to fit within the tubular end of a receiver type hitch. A stepping platform is attached to the top of the extension member. The extension member extends from the side of the receiver type hitch a sufficient distance to function as a step to the tailgate or bed of the truck. A ring on the extension member prevents it from being inserted too far into the hitch. A chain connected to the ring is attachable to the hitch to prevent the accidental removal of the step. The chain and ring can be positioned to allow the step to be moved between extended and non-extended positions.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 19, 2006Publication date: March 20, 2008Inventors: Emidio Joseph DiCarlo, David M.

Publication number: 20060282101Abstract: A device is disclosed for introducing a flexible elongated element through at least two portions of a subject. The device includes an advancement unit for advancing the flexible elongated element toward the end of the device such that the elongated element may exit from the device with sufficient force to pass through the subject. The device also includes a curved die for imparting a looping configuration to portions of the flexible elongated element exiting the device, and a curved guide for receiving the looped flexible elongated element as it returns to the end of the device. A cutting mechanism is provided to permit the looped flexible elongated element to be separated from the remainder of the flexible elongated element. The cutting mechanism is adapted to deform the trailing end of the looped flexible elongated element so that the trailing end is forced distally, toward the subject being sutured.Type: ApplicationFiled: May 18, 2006Publication date: December 14, 2006Applicant: DVL Acquisition Sub, Inc.Inventors: Joseph DiCarlo, Frederic Field, Douglas Fogg, Gregory Sancoff

Publication number: 20040043295Abstract: Rechargeable composite polymer batteries are disclosed employing composite polymer electrolytes comprising an inorganic oxide, exemplified by fumsilic(SiO2), and an organic polymer, exemplified by poly(vinylidene fluoride)-hexafluoropropene copolymer (PVDF-HFP), gelled with Li-ion battery electrolytes. The composite polymer electrolytes are prepared by forming a suspension of the inorganic oxide in a solution of the organic polymer contained in a suitable carrier solvent, spraying the suspension onto the surfaces of Li-ion battery electrodes to form inorganic oxide-organic polymer composite films that adhere to the electrode surfaces, and gelling the films with Li-ion battery electrolytes in-situ to form composite inorganic oxide-organic polymer gel electrolytes. Li-ion battery cells are then constructed with the resulting electrode-polymer electrolytes.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 21, 2003Publication date: March 4, 2004Inventors: Rafael Rodriguez, Kuzhikalail M.
