  • Publication number: 20240375743
    Abstract: The embodiments presented within present a self-balancing single wheeled electric vehicle. One embodiment has a seat attached to a frame with a seat low enough that a user can set a tilt of the seat with a foot of the user. The frame also has a motorized hub and wheel attached. A controller activates the motorized hub to move the vehicle when the seat is tilted forward and activates the motorized hub to slow the vehicle when the seat is tilted backward.

  • Patent number: 9603640
    Abstract: A fusion implant and fusion members for fusing target fusion bones of a lower extremity. The fusion implant including internally threaded apertures of a first thread lead, and fusion members including threading of the first thread lead and threading of a second thread lead that is less than the first thread lead. The fusion implant and a targeting instrument being configured to couple to one another in a predefined orientation. The predetermined orientation resulting in alignment of aspects of the fusion implant with aspects of the targeting instrument. The targeting instrument providing both distraction and compression to the joint between the target fusion bones. A guide instrument for preparing one of the target fusion bones for fusion thereof. A surgical method for applying compression to the joint between the target fusion bones to facilitate fusion thereof utilizing a fusion implant, fusion members, a targeting instrument and a guide instrument.

  • Publication number: 20110233090
    Abstract: Various embodiments of the present invention provide devices and processes for packaging elongate items in shippable bundles using a corrugated slip sheet and wrapping material. The elongate items may then be stacked within a frame. The frame with the stacked elongate items may then be wrapped with a wrapping material. Next, the stack of elongate items with the wrapping material may be removed from the frame as a single unitized bundle for storage and subsequent shipment.

  • Publication number: 20050274890
    Abstract: A detection device that can be used for detecting objects behind clothing etc including a dielectric lens and a receive element sensitive to millimetre wave radiation. Prior art systems produce an image of a scene usually using scanning optics. This can be large and expensive. The present invention instead take spot readings from different parts of a scene without building up an image. The spot readings are processed, and an indication given to a user if certain characteristics of the readings are observed. Typical characteristics used are the differences in absolute received power level, and the power level at different polarisations. Such characteristics are typically present is an object of interest is in the scene. Also disclosed are various methods of altering the received beam to get readings from different areas from the scene, such as changing the beam width, or beam angle.
