Patent number: 11059058Abstract: A gravity-feed spreader for particulate matter may include a rotor. The spreader may be operable for gravity-feed operation with the longitudinal axis of the rotor in a horizontal position. A generally cylindrical rotor housing with a pair of closed, axial ends may be coaxial with the rotor. Entrance and exit apertures for the particulate matter may be formed in the surface of the rotor housing between the closed, axial ends. A rotor driver may be coupled to the rotor shaft for rotating the rotor. An intake housing may include a passageway therethrough for the particulate matter. A gate may be provided for selectively opening and closing the particulate matter passageway in the intake housing. An agitator may be coupled to the rotor shaft for facilitating movement of particulate matter through the passageway in the intake housing.Type: GrantFiled: February 5, 2019Date of Patent: July 13, 2021Assignee: ICG Saltshooter LLCInventors: Wade Charles Barnett, Matthew S. Kressy

Publication number: 20170307490Abstract: A hand-held compression-tester for golf balls applies a biasing force to the golf-ball, loads it, and then releases the load so that only the biasing force remains. Based on the evolution of a loading curve during these intervals, the compression-tester estimates a compression value.Type: ApplicationFiled: May 5, 2017Publication date: October 26, 2017Inventors: John Donahue, Matthew S. Kressy, Paul Sabin, Emily Batt, Jeffrey Tyler, Joseph E. Jalbert

Publication number: 20100286509Abstract: A method of performing a medical procedure on target tissue within the body includes immobilizing the target tissue with an immobilization device, positioning an insertion tool (e.g., a needle, a needle and marker wire, a needle gun, etc.) to be inserted into the target tissue on the immobilization device based on at least one reading of the target tissue, and inserting the insertion tool into the target tissue. An immobilization device for performing methods includes a frame assembly, a tissue immobilization assembly coupled to the frame assembly, the tissue immobilization assembly including a structure adapted to immobilize tissue, and a needle assembly releasably connectable to the frame assembly. The needle assembly includes a needle capable of being inserted into the immobilized tissue.Type: ApplicationFiled: July 21, 2010Publication date: November 11, 2010Applicant: TRAXYZ MEDICAL, INC.Inventors: Matthew S.
