Patent number: 10729476Abstract: An interspinous process spacer for implantation in an interspinous space between a superior spinous process and an inferior spinous process includes a balloon-like body, a first deployable protrusion and a second deployable protrusion. The body has a distal end, a proximal end and a longitudinal axis extending between the proximal and distal ends. The spacer is arrangeable in an unexpanded configuration and an expanded configuration. The first deployable protrusion is mounted proximate the proximal end and the second deployable protrusion is mounted proximate the distal end. The first and second deployable protrusions are oriented generally parallel to the longitudinal axis in the unexpanded configuration and generally perpendicular to the longitudinal axis in the expanded configuration.Type: GrantFiled: March 26, 2018Date of Patent: August 4, 2020Assignee: DePuy Synthes Products, Inc.Inventors: Daniel Thommen, Markus Weber, Jacques Teisen, Markus Kraft, Florian Kaufmann, Markus Hunziker, Felix Aschmann, Stefan Saladin, Martin Oswald, Roman Randegger

Patent number: 8968365Abstract: The present invention relates to an interspinous spacer (10, 10?, 10?, 10??, 10??, 10???) for implantation between adjacent spinous process (SP) to treat spinal stenosis. The interspinous spacer preferably includes a W-shaped or S-shaped leaf spring body member (21) for insertion between adjacent spinous processes and one or more wire straps (42) extending from the body to attach the spacer to the adjacent spinous processes. The wire straps are preferably sized and configured to extend from one side of the leaf spring, along one side of a spinous process, over or under the spinous process to the other side wherein the wire strap can be coupled to the leaf spring. Alternatively, the spacer may include one or more hooks (60) for engaging one or both of the adjacent spinous processes.Type: GrantFiled: September 11, 2008Date of Patent: March 3, 2015Assignee: DePuy Synthes Products, LLCInventors: Felix Aschmann, Martin Oswald, Peter Senn, Hansjuerg Emch, Grant A.

Patent number: 8740706Abstract: A gaming machine has a flat panel display screen that is pivotable over a range of angles to allow the player to tilt the screen to directly face the player. The screen also can be pulled toward the player for maximum comfort. The screen has user interface controls, such as part of a touch screen. The screen contains one or more accelerometers for detecting movement of the screen. The player grips the screen with both hands to control the game via movement of the screen (e.g., shaking, tilting, pushing in, or pulling out) and the touching of the user interface controls. The screen may include a vibrator for providing tactile sensations to the player. The screen allows a player to completely control a game, including wagering and carrying out the game, without releasing the screen from the player's two-handed grip.Type: GrantFiled: October 25, 2011Date of Patent: June 3, 2014Assignee: Spielo International Canada ULCInventors: Caprice Klein, Günter Brand, Lukas Angermayer, Martin Oswald, Stefan Keilwert, August Moser
