  • Patent number: 11512870
    Abstract: A vent register includes a front plate having a perforated section for allowing airflow through the front plate, and a plurality of sidewalls perpendicularly extending from a side of the front plate and forming a sleeve for insertion into an opening of a ventilation duct. A first bow-spring is attached to a first sidewall of the plurality of sidewalls and a second bow-spring is attached to a second sidewall, the second sidewall being opposite the first sidewall. The first and second bow-springs are each respectively spring-tempered wires, the first bow-spring being attached at both ends to the first sidewall and the second bow-spring being attached at both ends to the second sidewall. Each of the first and second bow-springs forms a U-shape wing respectively extending from the and second sidewalls. The bow-springs include friction increasing means on at least a center portion for securing the register vent in the opening.

  • Patent number: 11213416
    Abstract: An appendage brace assembly includes an openwork including an open proximal extremity, a distal extremity, and a volume therebetween. The openwork is stiff and jointless, and defines access points to the volume from proximate to the open proximal extremity to proximate to the distal extremity for enabling access to the appendage applied to the volume through the open proximal extremity. A restraint is carried by the openwork for restraining the appendage from being withdrawn from the volume through the open proximal extremity, when the restraint is releasably secured to the appendage applied to the volume through the open proximal extremity, and for enabling the appendage for being withdrawn from the volume through the open proximal extremity without interference from the openwork, when the restraint is released from the appendage applied to the volume through the open proximal extremity.

  • Publication number: 20210358031
    Abstract: The technology disclosed relates to creation and operation of a marketplace among trusted small and medium sized banks for participation in commercial loans too large for an individual participating bank to undertake on its own. This technology can be applied to formation of other marketplaces in which trust matters and controlled dissemination of opportunity information, as in layers or rounds, proceeds manually. Aspects of the technology disclosed can be used by initiators and participants to syndicate loans once a marketplace is established, whether the market is established applying the technology disclosed or otherwise. This technology also can be applied to syndicate other opportunities or to resell participations in syndicated loans that have closed and been funded.

  • Patent number: 10932907
    Abstract: An annuloplasty ring for attachment to an annulus of a tricuspid valve comprises an elongate tube of suturable material comprising a central segment and first and second end segments. An arcuate stiff ener is received in the central segment of the tube and extends the length thereof. The arcuate stiffener is circumferentially confined within the central segment to prevent circumferential movement of the stiffener relative to the tube. The first and second end segments of the tube lack a stiffener and are axially deformable.

  • Patent number: 10894595
    Abstract: A redundant mechanical control system incorporates a jam override subsystem to enable a breakout or break-away feature of the redundant mechanical control system. The jam override subsystem includes a spring and detent system to apply an axial force to a portion of an interconnect. The interconnect mechanically links a first portion of the redundant mechanical control system with a second portion. When a failure occurs, rendering inoperable the first portion or the second portion of the redundant mechanical control system, the axial force of the spring and detent system is overridden by a compression or extension force of the operable portion of the redundant mechanical control system.

  • Patent number: 10881573
    Abstract: A buoyancy-based cervical traction system has a floatation and a head rest supported by the flotation system. The head rest is adapted to support a person's head above the neck and apply traction to the neck when the person is in a body of liquid. The system has a position adjustment system adapted to allow selective adjustment of the position at which the person's head rest will be relative to an upper surface of the liquid when the person and the cervical traction system are in the liquid, the person's head is supported by the head rest, and the cervical traction system and person are floating in the liquid at equilibrium.
