Abstract: A sheet of material that is marked with a pulsed laser, the sheet of material having an outer edge and an inner edge separated by a core. The distance from the outer edge to the inner edge is the sheet thickness. The sheet of material has a total concentration of TiO2 of less than about 1.00%. There is an exterior layer beginning at the outer edge and extending into the core, the thickness of the exterior layer is from about 10.00% to about 40.00% of the sheet thickness, and the exterior layer has an average concentration of from about 2.50% to about 10.00% TiO2.

Abstract: In one embodiment, an apparatus for dispensing a liquid is disclosed. The apparatus can comprise a cap configured to connect to a container body having a chamber for containing the liquid. The cap can comprise a pour aperture through which the liquid exits the apparatus. The cap can comprise a pour lid configured to open and close the pour aperture. The cap can comprise a cap vent configured to allow air to flow from the outside environs into the chamber of the container body when the cap is connected to the container body.

Abstract: As an example, a walker includes a first leg pair, a second leg pair and a cross beam connecting the first and second leg pairs in a parallel, spaced apart relationship. Each leg pair includes a U-shaped tube defining a front leg and a rear leg. A front strut is telescopically movable within the front leg and extends outwardly therefrom. A rear strut is telescopically movable within the rear leg and extends outwardly therefrom. A mechanical linear actuator includes a rotating element adapted to rotate relative to at least one of the front leg or the rear leg. The rotating element includes an interface with a track on the respective strut relative to which the rotating element rotates, whereby rotational motion of the rotating element translates to corresponding linear motion of the strut.

Abstract: A graft tensioning device comprising a basin capable of containing a fluid, a heating element capable of heating the fluid to an appropriate temperature, a tray disposed within the basin, and a graft holding fixture for maintaining a tissue graft in tension, permanently or removably secured to the tray, wherein the graft holding fixture and tissue graft may be submersed within the fluid. The device may further comprise a base, a shelf and/or a cover. The device may be reusable, disposable or some combination thereof.

Abstract: A cushion insert includes a body having a slot. A first cushion half and a second cushion half extend in an arc in opposite directions from the slot and have ends spaced apart to form a gap in a location opposite the slot. A passageway extends axially through the cushion insert and is defined by the first cushion half and the second cushion half. A spacer extends axially along a top of the body and has a passage. A tab extends axially along a bottom of the body.

Abstract: An adjustable clamp assembly capable of securing various sized cylindrical members is generally formed from a high strength plastic material dispensing the need for a cushion insert for the cylindrical member disposed therebetween. The clamp assembly contains a pair of unitary clamp halves having an inner surface contoured to adequately contact the surface of various sized cylindrical members to provide support when clamping forces are applied. The clamp halves can be interlockingly engageable with one another to enhance the cylindrical member size adjustment capability.

Abstract: An inductive device comprises a coil having a winding and extending along and spaced from an axis, and a pair of lead wires extending internally between the ends of the coil. The lead wires extend externally from one of said ends for connection to an electrical circuit, and form start and finish posts at the other of said ends. The respective ends of the winding are wound on and electrically connected to the posts, for which purposes the posts extend axially away from the coil in spaced relationship.
