Abstract: A glenoid prosthesis includes a head portion and an anchor. The head portion includes a first surface adapted to contact a glenoid and an opposed second surface that is at least partially concave. The anchor extends from the first surface of the head portion and terminates at a distal end. At least one first circular member is disposed between the head portion and the distal end of the anchor and encircle the anchor. At least one second circular member is disposed between the head portion and the distal end of the anchor and encircles the anchor. The at least one first circular member is adapted to engage cortical bone of a glenoid and the at least one second circular member is adapted to engage cancellous bone of a glenoid when the glenoid prosthesis is implanted.

Abstract: The present invention provides an extendible trailer generally consisting of three trailer sections arranged in side-by-side relation. The two outside trailer sections are connected to the central trailer section and are movable relative thereto along an axis that extends transverse to the longitudinal axis of the trailer. Two pairs of lead screws respectively interconnect the two outer trailer sections to the central trailer section, and a drive chain and cogged drive wheel assembly interconnects the two lead screws connected to each trailer section. By rotating any one the lead screws, the drive chain and cogged drive wheel assembly effectively moves the corresponding outer trailer section either toward or away from the central trailer section, thereby decreasing or increasing, respectively, the effective width of the trailer.

Abstract: The present invention provides a wood board for use as flooring panels and a method of making the wood board. The wood board has the strength and outer surface finish of hardwood boards, increased flexibility, and a lower cost than hardwood boards. The wood board of the present invention comprises a core layer having plural veneer layers oriented such that longitudinal grain structures of adjacent layers are perpendicular with respect to each other, and each veneer having longitudinal pierced slots placed therein oriented in parallel with their respective longitudinal grain structures; and a longitudinally sliced face layer placed upon the inner core layer. This wood board and flooring panel of the present invention have high strength, high flexibility and superior surface smoothness. Further, the present invention provides lower manufacturing costs and thus lower costs for the consumer.

Abstract: A hydraulically actuated mobile carrier frame wraps around a storage container of standard size and lifts the container from the ground onto a transport vehicle. The carrier frame subsequently returns the container to the ground. The carrier frame stays with the vehicle. The carrier frame can be expanded transversely to clear the vehicle for loading and unloading, then contracted into notches in the vehicle platform to be releasably locked to the vehicle for over the road transport.

Abstract: An improved collective protection system (CPS) alarm is generally comprised f an electronic circuit board terminal box that is readily connectable to any selected point of a ship power bus system. The system is provided with a plurality of pressure transducers that are selectively disposed in associated remote zones to be continuously monitored. A master monitoring panel is connected to the terminal box and is provided with a pressure indicating meter and a series of three red, yellow, and green lights corresponding to each remotely monitored zone. Separate slave panels allows monitoring of light status at additional locations such as a pilot house and/or a damage control station. The system is appropriately shielded to prevent EMI or RFI interference.

Abstract: A wheel suspension system for two-wheeled vehicles such as motorcycles, bicycles, and the like, having a vehicle frame, a wheel assembly and a spring and shock absorber assembly. The wheel assembly includes an axle with a wheel rotatably disposed thereon. Paired wheel plates are rotatably attached to the opposite ends of the axle. A first pair of upwardly extending wheel supports have one end thereof secured to the wheel plates and the other end thereof attached to one end of the shock absorber assembly. The other end of the shock absorber assembly is attached to the vehicle frame. A second pair of wheel supports, extending transversely of the first supports, have one end thereof secured to the wheel plates and the other end thereof attached to the vehicle frame.
