Publication number: 20240092266Abstract: A UTV side mirror mounting, and adjustment system may be coupled to the sidebar of a UTV chassis. The UTV side mirror mounting, and adjustment system may include a module, multi-component clamp system coupled to the neck of a rotatable ball and socket joint, with the distal end of the rotatable joint being coupled to a hinge. The hinge may be secured to the side mirror, or other peripheral in need of mounting. The modular, multi-component clamp system, rotatable ball and socket joint, and hinge can each be independently adjusted, and secured to modulate and secure the peripheral's position in relation to the chassis sidebar. The modular, multi-component clamp system may secure the UTV side mirror mounting and adjustment system to an adjustable multi-component clamp system, the adjustable multi-component clamp system being coupled to a UTV or other chassis sidebar. The adjustable multi-component clamp system may couple to the sidebar of a UTV chassis via the modular, multi-component clamp system.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 18, 2023Publication date: March 21, 2024Applicant: CHUPACABRA LLCInventor: Nicholas OLSON

Patent number: 10245048Abstract: Disclosed herein are systems and methods for securing a glenoid baseplate to a resected glenoid cavity in a preoperatively planned position. Image information obtained from the glenoid cavity and surrounding scapula is analyzed to determine the location of optimal bone stock. A guide is designed based on the image information, the guide having a patient specific contact surface that contacts a surface of the bone in a preoperatively planned position. The guide is designed to have a cannulated portion including a specific length. A marking pin having at least one reference feature is drilled into the glenoid cavity. The length of the cannulated portion of the guide is based on a location of the at least one reference feature on an outer surface of the marking pin. A cannulated reamer guided by the marking pin is then used to resect the glenoid cavity until a stop surface of the cannulated reamer contacts an end of the marking pin.Type: GrantFiled: December 22, 2017Date of Patent: April 2, 2019Assignee: Howmedica Osteonics Corp.Inventor: Nicholas Olson

Patent number: 9681960Abstract: A height measuring tool may include a body member configured to releasably couple to an implant component. A slidable member having a distal end surface may be coupled to the body member. A height reference member may also be coupled to the body member. Movement of the sliding member in a distal direction in relation to the body member may cause corresponding movement of the height reference member in the distal direction when the sliding member is engaged to the height reference member and the height reference member is in an unlocked state. Generally, when an implant component is attached to the height measuring tool, a user may insert the implant component at least partially into a bone, with the slidable member and the height reference member used in conjunction to objectively mark off a height of the implant component relative to the bone.Type: GrantFiled: May 16, 2014Date of Patent: June 20, 2017Assignee: Howmedica Osteonics Corp.Inventors: Nicholas Olson, Saravana Nataraj, Rajan Yadav
