Patent number: 9504371Abstract: An endoluminal surgical instrument has first and second steering controls on a handle. A flexible shaft attached to the handle has a distal steerable end including a first link and a second link separated by a plurality of intermediate links. First and second steering elements, such as pairs of steering wires, are linked to first and second steering controls and to the first and second links. One or more of the links is pivotable through an angle of at least 30 degrees relative to an adjoining link. The set back position of the second steering elements from the first steering elements, and the pivoting capability of the links allows the steerable end to be steered into a small bend radius. This makes the instrument highly maneuverable for use in endoluminal surgery, such as incision-less surgery of the stomach.Type: GrantFiled: February 2, 2015Date of Patent: November 29, 2016Assignee: USGI Medical, Inc.Inventors: Sean Mitchell, Richard C.

Publication number: 20160207049Abstract: A preferred embodiment of the invention is directed to an apparatus and method for mechanically breaking or decompressing blocks of compressed particulate material and, more specifically, to an apparatus and method for breaking apart blocks of coir, peat moss, or similar materials generally used in the horticultural industry. The apparatus can decompress particulate material in a dry state or a wet state without causing physical damage to the material. The apparatus generally comprises a breaking chamber, a rotary breaker assembly, and a screen at the bottom of the chamber through which decompressed material falls. The breaker assembly generally comprises rotary breaker bars, which decompress the particulate material as they rotate. The decompressed material then falls into a discharge chute, where it is then discharged from the apparatus for further use.Type: ApplicationFiled: January 21, 2015Publication date: July 21, 2016Applicant: Mitchell Ellis Products, Inc.Inventors: C.

Publication number: 20100113092Abstract: The present application provides an accelerator device for attaching to a portable electronics device. The portable electronics device communicates using a serial or similar interface with a corresponding interface of the accelerator device. Raw data is transmitted from the portable electronics device for processing by the accelerator device. The accelerator device contains a processor for processing the communicated raw data into processed data and returns the processed data to the portable electronics device. This arrangement allows the processor of the accelerator device to assist the applications processor on the portable electronics device in the processing of data by splitting the processing between the processor of the accelerator device and the portable electronics device.Type: ApplicationFiled: January 17, 2008Publication date: May 6, 2010Applicant: Linear Algebra Technologies LimitedInventor: Sean Mitchell

Patent number: 6494428Abstract: An adjustable holder for a container comprises a stationery member having a first surface for pressing against a first side of the container. A moveable member has a second surface for pressing against a second side of the container. First and second structures allow the moveable member to telescope with respect to the stationary member along a direction of adjustment. Third and fourth structures set a plurality of distances between the first and second surfaces. The third structure comprises a plurality of slots arranged along the direction of adjustment and oriented generally orthogonal to such direction. The fourth structure comprises a resiliently biased projection with a user-operated handle for being inserted into a desired slot. The holder adjusts to the size of the container, and, in preferred embodiments, can be made especially economically.Type: GrantFiled: January 14, 2000Date of Patent: December 17, 2002Assignee: Robbins Industries Inc.Inventors: Rodney W.
