Publication number: 20120042524Abstract: Apparatus and methods for cutting through a layer of material. Some embodiments pertain to the removal of an orthopedic cast in a manner that is quiet and generates little or no particulate matter. In yet other embodiments there are a pair of toothed wheels that press down and penetrate into the cast and then split the cast by moving it past a sharp edge. In some embodiments the cutting head is reversible for the cutting of material in either of two opposite directions.Type: ApplicationFiled: February 11, 2010Publication date: February 23, 2012Inventors: Nick A.

Patent number: 7631981Abstract: The present invention relates to a disposable medical-examination light. Specifically, the invention relates to a disposable light for use with a speculum. Generally, the disposable light includes a casing with an interior and an exterior. The casing interior may be adapted to hold at least one battery. The casing exterior may include a proximal surface and a distal surface. A protrusion may extend from the proximal surface, and at least one light-emitting diode (“LED”), such as a white and/or green light producing LED, may be substantially disposed at a proximal end of the protrusion. Additionally, a gripping mechanism may extend from the casing's proximal surface. The disposable light may also comprise electrical components for connecting at least one battery to at least one LED. Furthermore, the disposable light may also include a switching mechanism that may be configured to close an electrical circuit between an LED and a battery.Type: GrantFiled: October 15, 2007Date of Patent: December 15, 2009Assignee: Utah Medical Products, Inc.Inventors: Jonathan Miller, Ben Shirley, Mark Fox

Publication number: 20090306012Abstract: The present invention relates to the field of chemotherapy of diseases such as cell proliferation disorders including cancer. In particular, the present invention relates to the use of hyaluronan (HA) as a protective agent in the treatment of subjects. HA is administered in conjunction with a chemotherapeutic agent to facilitate the prolonged administration of a dose of the chemotherapeutic agent to be administered to a subject. Owing to the protective effects of the HA, the dose of chemotherapeutic agent may be substantially higher than a generally accepted effective dose, which would otherwise be expected to cause unacceptable side effects in the subject.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 11, 2009Publication date: December 10, 2009Applicant: Alchemia Oncology Pty LimitedInventors: Tracey Jean BROWN, Richard Mark FOX

Publication number: 20050230029Abstract: A process for continuous composite coextrusion comprising: (a) forming first a material-laden composition comprising a thermoplastic polymer and at least about 40 volume % of a ceramic or metallic particulate in a manner such that the composition has a substantially cylindrical geometry and thus can be used as a substantially cylindrical feed rod; (b) forming a hole down the symmetrical axis of the feed rod; (c) inserting the start of a continuous spool of ceramic fiber, metal fiber or carbon fiber through the hole in the feed rod; (d) extruding the feed rod and spool simultaneously to form a continuous filament consisting of a green matrix material completely surrounding a dense fiber reinforcement and said filament having an average diameter that is less than the average diameter of the feed rod; and (e) depositing the continuous filament into a desired architecture which preferably is determined from specific loading conditions of the desired object and CAD design of the object to provide a green fiber reiType: ApplicationFiled: May 17, 2005Publication date: October 20, 2005Applicant: Advanced Ceramics Research, Inc.Inventors: K.

Patent number: 6779003Abstract: The invention provides systems and methods for continuous back up of data stored on a computer network. To this end the systems of the invention include a synchronization process that replicates selected source data files data stored on the network and to create a corresponding set of replicated data files, called the target data files, that are stored on a back up server, This synchronization process builds a baseline data structure of target data files. In parallel to this synchronization process, the system includes a dynamic replication process that includes a plurality of agents, each of which monitors a portion of the source data files to detect and capture, at the byte-level, changes to the source data files.Type: GrantFiled: December 16, 1999Date of Patent: August 17, 2004Assignee: LiveVault CorporationInventors: Christopher Midgley, John Webb, Ted Hess, Paul Ranauro, Dave Wright, Mark Fox

Patent number: 4926965Abstract: A self retracting step apparatus (10) mounted on the underside of a boat step (12) that projects rearwardly from the transom (14) of a boat. The step apparatus includes a mounting bracket (26) to which a support bar (16) is pivotally connected. A stirrup step (20) is secured to the distal end of the support bar, and is pivotal between an extended position and a retracted position. The support bar and stirrup step define a forwardly facing reactive surface (24) against which drag forces act upon movement of the boat. Springs (22) connected from the mounting bracket to the support bar nominally bias the stirrup step to the extended position, but may be overcome by the drag forces to allow the stirrup step to begin pivoting towards the retracted position. Once the stirrup step has begun movement from the extended position, the springs act to compel further pivoting of the stirrup step to a retracted position for stowage.Type: GrantFiled: October 18, 1989Date of Patent: May 22, 1990Inventor: Mark Fox
