Adaptive Temperature Control System for Garments and Methods for Controlling Temperature of Garments
Publication number: 20230383973Abstract: A self-contained apparel temperature control system includes a clamshell body comprising outer and inner components that, when connected, define an interior and an airflow passageway passing from an outside environment through the outer component, through the interior and outside the inner component to an inside environment and a cooling subassembly connected to one of the components and comprising a temperature sensor measuring a temperature value of the inside environment and electronically transmitting the temperature value, a fan moving air from an input side to an output side, and a controller communicating with the fan and the temperature sensor. The controller is programmed to receive the measured temperature value, to compare a set point temperature value with the measured temperature value and to turn off or on the fan dependent upon a comparison of the set point temperature value with the measured temperature value.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 8, 2023Publication date: November 30, 2023Inventor: Marc Evan Richelsoph -

Patent number: 8585705Abstract: An instrument for assisting in guiding a spinal connector or rod through one or more spinal implants placed in the spine includes a main assembly having the ability to accurately guide a rod through the implants by way of rotation and translation. By introducing the rod via rotation, the tip of the rod can be located very accurately deep in soft tissue for percutaneous applications. Once inside the first implant, the rod tip can be advanced by translation and rotation to the next implant. The number of implants connected in this manner is only limited to the length and curvature of the rod introduced. However, an advantage to the instrument is the ability to handle multiple length rods of different curvatures by adjustments to the instrument.Type: GrantFiled: October 17, 2012Date of Patent: November 19, 2013Assignee: Intelligent Implant Systems, LLCInventors: Marc Evan Richelsoph, David Frederick Waller

Patent number: 8529602Abstract: A self-contouring spinal rod assembly. The assembly has a proximal end, a distal end, and a length extending between the proximal end and the distal end. A plurality of rod elements extend along the length, such that each of the plurality of rod elements is in contact with an adjacent rod element. The plurality of rod elements are fixed against movement relative to each other at the distal end. The plurality of rod elements are movable relative to each other along a length proximal the distal end. A method of assembling the spinal rod assembly is also provided.Type: GrantFiled: July 26, 2007Date of Patent: September 10, 2013Assignee: Aesculap AG & Co. KGInventor: Marc Evan Richelsoph

Patent number: 7963995Abstract: The present invention provides a vertebral implant comprising a wall forming two short sides (100, 101) and two elongated sides (102, 103) to define a generally elongated structure having a passageway (106) therethrough. At least one of the two elongated sides is resiliently compressible into the passageway, or resiliently expandable away from the passageway, under a force applied to the implant by movement of the spine into which the implant is placed. This resilient opposition to forces in the spine causes the device to want to return to its at-rest position, thereby aiding the spine in its return to a normal position after movement is relaxed, thereby aiding proper spine alignment. Preferably, the device comprises a flexible body having a generally loop-shaped configuration defined by the wall, wherein the wall material and thickness is selected so that the device has appropriate degrees of flexibility and strength.Type: GrantFiled: October 5, 2005Date of Patent: June 21, 2011Assignee: Aesculap, Inc.Inventor: Marc Evan Richelsoph
