Publication number: 20190083154Abstract: A surgical instrument for minimally-invasive arthroscopic use in a constrained joint space, including a handle assembly, a shaft assembly including a shaft having a longitudinal shaft axis and a lumen therethrough and connected to handle assembly at proximal end of shaft and an operative portion including a working tip with a tool mounted thereon at distal end of shaft. Operative portion is selectively moveable between a first configuration substantially aligned with longitudinal shaft axis, and a second, deployed, configuration in which at least part of operative portion has a selectable working direction defined by the angle between tool and longitudinal shaft axis and a selectable lateral displacement defined by the linear distance between working tip and longitudinal shaft axis, measured at a central location point at which tool is mounted and perpendicular to longitudinal shaft axis, the working direction and lateral displacement being selectable independently of one another.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 16, 2017Publication date: March 21, 2019Applicants: JRI ORTHOPAEDICS LIMITED, SURGICAL INNOVATIONS LIMITEDInventors: Kristopher CARVER, Edward Richard Cornell DRAPER, Ian John FLATTERS, Giles Francis Mansfield PROFFITT

Patent number: 8863522Abstract: Disclosed is an approach that uses an overload valve to operate a steam turbine reheat section. In one embodiment, the steam turbine reheat section receives a supply of reheated steam from a reheater at a first steam admission location via a reheat valve. The steam turbine reheat section is further adapted to receive a diverted portion of the reheated steam from the reheater at a second steam admission location via the overload valve.Type: GrantFiled: October 16, 2012Date of Patent: October 21, 2014Assignee: General Electric CompanyInventors: Daniel Richard Cornell, Raymond Pang

Patent number: 8688199Abstract: A method of aiding in the diagnosis or prediction of degenerative joint disease in a joint of a patient. The method comprises obtaining a test spectrum of Raman scattered radiation from cartilage tissue in the joint, and analyzing the test spectrum, or one or more regions thereof, to assess whether the test spectrum is consistent with the patient having, or subsequently developing, degenerative joint disease in the joint.Type: GrantFiled: May 13, 2009Date of Patent: April 1, 2014Assignee: UCL Business PLCInventors: Jayesh Dudhia, Paul Francis McMillan, Edward Richard Cornell Draper, Steven Firth

Patent number: 6790001Abstract: In a steam turbine high pressure end seal region, brush seals are provided between first and second pressure regions having a pressure drop in excess of the sealing capacity of an individual brush seal. To use brush seals between the first and second regions, one or more intermediate pressure regions are maintained at a substantially fixed predetermined pressure between the first and second pressure regions. Brush seals are interposed between adjacent pressure regions whereby the pressure drop between adjacent pressure regions is within the sealing capacity of the individual brush seal disposed between the adjacent pressure regions.Type: GrantFiled: November 22, 2002Date of Patent: September 14, 2004Assignee: General Electric CompanyInventors: Norman Arnold Turnquist, Mark Edward Burnett, Christopher Edward Wolfe, Frederick George Baily, Daniel Richard Cornell

Patent number: 6260269Abstract: A method for overhauling a steam turbine to increase its power without increasing its overall length. Existing seal assemblies containing seals other than brush seals are replaced with longitudinally-shorter replacement seal assemblies having only brush seals. An existing turbine section, such as a high-pressure turbine section, is replaced with a longitudinally-longer replacement turbine section having additional stages (i.e., additional rows of rotating buckets or blades).Type: GrantFiled: December 7, 1999Date of Patent: July 17, 2001Assignee: General Electric CompanyInventors: Norman Arnold Turnquist, Osman Saim Dinc, George Ernest Reluzco, Daniel Richard Cornell, Robert Harold Cromer, Kenneth Elmer Robbins, Christopher Edward Wolfe

Patent number: 6053699Abstract: A steam turbine having a shaft and a first (e.g., high-pressure) turbine section. A first embodiment also includes a first bearing longitudinally spaced apart from the first turbine section and further includes a first brush-seal assembly, having bristles, longitudinally positioned between the first turbine section and the first bearing and radially positioned proximate the shaft. The steam turbine is devoid of any backup seal to the bristles. In a second embodiment, a second brush seal assembly is positioned between the first and second (e.g., intermediate-pressure) turbine sections which lack any intervening bearing.Type: GrantFiled: July 27, 1998Date of Patent: April 25, 2000Assignee: General Electric CompanyInventors: Norman Arnold Turnquist, Osman Saim Dinc, George Ernest Reluzco, Daniel Richard Cornell, Robert Harold Cromer, Kenneth Elmer Robbins, Christopher Edward Wolfe

Patent number: 5873843Abstract: The method involves having the subject, to whose fractured limb an external fixator has been applied, undergo a specific load test, measuring the load carried by the fixator and the total load carried by the limb during the test, and determining a measure representing a comparison between the two measured loads. The test is preferably a dynamic one, and a suitable apparatus for carrying out the method is described, which includes a forceplate incorporated in a treadmill assembly to stimulate muscle activity in the limb during the test. The method and device provides an early indication as to whether or not bone healing has started, and thus can be used to provide an advance warning in cases of delayed osseous union.Type: GrantFiled: July 23, 1996Date of Patent: February 23, 1999Assignee: BTG International LimitedInventor: Edward Richard Cornell Draper
