  • Publication number: 20240164907
    Abstract: Disclosed herein are expandable interbodies with modular endplates. An expandable interbody has an outer column, an inner column threadedly coupled and translatable relative to the outer column along the longitudinal axis, and an expansion ring to adjust a body length of the expandable interbody. The expansion ring has a plurality of teeth, and the outer column has at least one arm for engaging a tooth of the plurality of teeth to lock the expansion ring. The inner column and/or outer column can include a connector for connection to a modular endplate that has a substantially hollow core. The modular endplate includes a plate with a set screw entrapped therein. The modular endplate has an aperture to receive the connector of the inner and/or outer column.

  • Patent number: 9809289
    Abstract: A hull mounted, steerable marine drive system having trim actuation is both steerable through 360 degrees and is trimmable. The marine drive system includes a watertight enclosure assembly for sealing the hull, which is adapted for keeping much of the marine drive system from being exposed to water. The enclosure includes a gasket flange plate, a retention plate and a folded gasket. The gasket flange plate closely follows the contour of the hull and enhances the hydrodynamic and wake performance of the present marine drive system. Further, marine drive system includes a forward-neutral-reverse (FNR) transmission assembly, a drive unit assembly having a trimmable upper unit and a steerable lower unit, a steering actuator assembly, a trim actuator assembly, and, preferably, trim foils for providing enhanced negative and positive trim and for providing enhanced positive and negative lift.

  • Publication number: 20160121987
    Abstract: A hull mounted, steerable marine drive system having trim actuation is both steerable through 360 degrees and is trimmable in a range of from approximately +3 degrees to approximately ?15 degrees. The marine drive system includes a watertight enclosure assembly for sealing the hull, which is adapted for keeping much of the marine drive system from being exposed to water. The enclosure includes a gasket flange plate, a retention plate and a folded gasket. The gasket flange plate closely follows the contour of the hull and enhances the hydrodynamic and wake performance of the present marine drive system.

  • Publication number: 20130329217
    Abstract: A system for aligning a bed of an imaging system with an imaging plane. The system includes a laser device which generates a laser beam and a target element having a target detecting surface. The system also includes a reflective element which receives the laser beam. The reflective element includes a reflective detecting surface for detecting a first position of the laser beam. A first parameter of the bed is adjusted until the laser beam is positioned on a first center portion of the reflective detecting surface. In addition, the laser beam is reflected to the target detecting surface to detect a second position of the laser beam. A second parameter of the bed is adjusted until the laser beam is positioned on a second center portion of the target detecting surface to orient the bed substantially perpendicular to the imaging plane.
