Patent number: 10842511Abstract: A surgical guide assembly for selecting a target site for insertion of a fixation implant, the surgical guide used in conjunction with fluoroscopy or other x-ray-based imaging for selecting a target site into bone based upon a rendered radiographic image of the bone. The guide includes a planar radiolucent guide tool with radiopaque markers and seats for accommodating securement components that can be engaged in apertures within securement seats of the radiolucent guide tool and contacted or positioned adjacent target bone for establishing a path to a bone target to guide the placement of an implant relative to a reference point, such as a first implant. In the guide tool may include visual indicia corresponding with one or more of the securement seats.Type: GrantFiled: September 4, 2018Date of Patent: November 24, 2020Assignee: CUTTING EDGE SPINE LLCInventors: Shyam Patel, Kyle Kuntz

Publication number: 20160325013Abstract: The invention provides a composition comprising a nanofiber polymer in which the fibers of the nanofiber polymer arc aligned, and a molecule is covalcntly attached, either directly or through a linker, to the nanofiber polymer. This molecule is capable of either covalently or non-covalently attaching to a member selected from an extracellular matrix component, a growth factor, and combinations thereof. The invention also provides methods of making the composition and methods of using the compositions to add new tissue to a subject, such as a human.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 1, 2015Publication date: November 10, 2016Inventors: Song LI, Shyam PATEL, Craig HASHI, Ngan Fong HUANG, Kyle KURPINSKI

Patent number: 8622313Abstract: The present application relates to a near field communications (NFC) device having an antenna which is coupled to a load. When in the presence of an active NFC reader or similar device, the antenna generates an electromotive force (EMF), which serves as an input signal to the load. A variable potential divider is included to vary the voltage of the input signal to the load, so that if a potentially damaging over-voltage condition exists the voltage of the input signal to the load can be reduced to a safe level. The variable potential divider may be composed of an effective source impedance and an effective impedance of the load, and the impedance of the impedance matching network may be variable by means of a variable capacitance and/or a variable resistance.Type: GrantFiled: September 25, 2012Date of Patent: January 7, 2014Assignee: Cambridge Silicon Radio LimitedInventors: Anthony McFarthing, Shyam Patel
