  • Patent number: 11701243
    Abstract: A bone mill includes a housing, at least a first bone milling tool, a proximal bearing sleeve, and a distal bearing sleeve. The housing defines a work chamber. The work chamber has a first axial end, a second axial end, a feed input opening, and an output opening. The bone milling tool is configured to be disposed within the work chamber, and extends at least from a first axial end to the second axial chamber.

  • Publication number: 20200093082
    Abstract: A vertical growing system includes a nutrient cap and a base that removably support a grow tower formed from a pipe with a number of grow pockets adhered to the pipe. The roots of plants in the grow pockets extend inside the pipe, where they are hydrated by irrigation fluid flowing from the cap, through the pipe, through the base, and into a reservoir or collection system. A user can easily install and remove the pipe without having to remove the cap or base. The cap contains nutrient media, such as charged biochar and coarse sand, that supplies nutrients to the irrigation fluid as it percolates through the cap. A 4-tower embodiment included four grow towers above a reservoir. A submersible pump supplies irritation fluid from the reservoir to the nutrient caps. A central light rotates to illuminate the plants in light-dark cycles.

  • Patent number: 9894986
    Abstract: Toothbrush assemblies have a structural component and a cushioning component disposed about a portion of the structural component. The structural component has a distal head element, an elongated spacing element extending from the head element, and a body portion connected to the spacing element opposite the head element. The cushioning component causes the structural component to resist movement in the posterior direction to a larger degree than the structural component resists movement in the anterior direction. Accordingly, an axial force applied to the head element in the direction of the spacing element causes the spacing element to move in the anterior direction. Thus, the toothbrush assembly can be safe for toddlers to use as they can be less likely to impale the toddler's throat tissue and/or puncture a vital artery.
