Publication number: 20240090928Abstract: Certain embodiments of the invention provide plates for treating periarticular fractures or other non-full body weight bearing applications that combine polyaxial fixation with a low profile and enhanced contouring that more closely conforms to bone. Such plates can be designed to achieve buttressing effect and/or to be used in a reinforcement mode. Other features can be combined with these. Such plates can be created for use on bone sites such as on a tibia, fibula, metatarsal, calcaneous, other foot bone, humerus, radius, ulna, spinal, maxillofacial, as well as sites on other bones.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 27, 2023Publication date: March 21, 2024Applicant: Smith & Nephew, Inc.Inventors: Gene Edward Austin, Jon A.

Patent number: 11359491Abstract: A mine safety dust exhibiting improved dispersion in water. The rock dust includes dolomitic limestone particles which, when mixed at the mine site to form a slurry, stay in suspension during intermittent operation of spray machinery and with a reduced need for continuous mixing. The rock dust composition includes an inorganic salt that acts as a dispersant to improve dispersion of the rock dust in water and further acts as a deflocculant to keep the dust particles in suspension in the resultant slurry.Type: GrantFiled: April 27, 2021Date of Patent: June 14, 2022Assignee: E. Dillon & CompanyInventors: Mike Miller, Thomas Harmon Harris

Patent number: 10941567Abstract: A wall construction system including plurality of interlocking concrete blocks. The interlocking blocks include one or more stretcher blocks, corner blocks, and half blocks. The blocks include top and end shear lugs and bottom and end grooves. The bottom grooves accommodate the top shear lugs of blocks in a lower course of stacked blocks. Corner blocks provide a means for creating a corner and turning the direction of a course of blocks by 90 degrees. The interlocking features of the blocks enable dry-stacking in successive courses to construct a wall or multi-wall structure. When stacked end to end in successive rows, the top and end shear lugs of each interlocking block engage complimentary grooves in the underlying, overlying, and adjacent blocks thereby enabling the blocks to rapidly self-align vertically and lock together as they are stacked. The resulting dry-stacked structure exhibits a high lateral resistance to overpressures or transverse loads.Type: GrantFiled: May 3, 2019Date of Patent: March 9, 2021Assignee: E. DILLON & COMPANYInventors: Thomas Harmon Harris, Mike Miller, Mark J. Norden

Patent number: 10329911Abstract: A mine seal or wall capable of retaining its integrity under a transverse load. The mine seal is constructed of a plurality of interlocking masonry blocks. The interlocking blocks include a body with a top surface, planar sides, planar ends, and a bottom surface. A top shear lug extends longitudinally along the top of the block. An end shear lug extends vertically along each end of the block. The bottom surface and each end of the block includes a groove therein. When stacked end to end in successive rows, the top and end shear lugs of each interlocking block engage the complimentary grooves in the adjacent blocks thereby enabling the blocks to self-align vertically and lock together as they are stacked. The resulting mine seal exhibits a high resistance to transverse loads.Type: GrantFiled: May 28, 2014Date of Patent: June 25, 2019Assignee: E. DILLON & COMPANYInventors: David A.

Patent number: 6172428Abstract: A digital control system and method for monitoring, acquiring data, and controlling the operation of a generator set. The digital control system comprises a computer that receives multiple discrete parameter inputs representing values of analog characteristics and digital characteristics of a generator set. The computer runs a software program to interpret the received inputs as measurements of analog characteristics and status of digital characteristics of the generator set. The computer is capable of graphically displaying and monitoring the measurements and status of the generator set. A method of monitoring and controlling a generator set comprises receiving multiple discrete parameter inputs representing the value of analog and digital characteristics of a generator set, interpreting the received inputs as measurements of analog characteristics and status of digital characteristics of the generator set, and graphically displaying the measurements and status of the generator set.Type: GrantFiled: December 30, 1998Date of Patent: January 9, 2001Assignee: Westwood CorporationInventor: Thomas Harmon Jordan

Patent number: 5390514Abstract: A locking device 100 is inserted within the disk drive (11) of a personal computer ("PC") 12 to prevent unauthorized use thereof. The locking device (100) includes a pair of pivoted plates (101, 102) retained in their expanded locking position within the disk drive (11) by means of an externally-accessible padlock (107) or its equivalent. Each of the plates (101, 102) carries a spring finger (109) which "bites" into the adjacent respective side rail (26) in the event that an attempt is made to remove the locking device (100). The locking device (100) is inserted into the disk drive (11) in a one-handed operation and in its locked position. In another embodiment, a key-operated lock is carried on one of the pivoted plates.Type: GrantFiled: November 23, 1993Date of Patent: February 21, 1995Assignee: Leonard BloomInventor: Thomas Harmon

Patent number: 4138454Abstract: Two foamable chemicals are diverted from a recirculation path by simultaneously operable pivoting ball valves to respective separate paths through respective one way valves, pressure responsive normally closed poppet valves, and a common conduit to a common mixing chamber wherein they are mixed by identical counter rotating shafts having roll pins extending through diametric bores, before the thus mixed chemicals are discharged into a suitable mold. Solvent and air are supplied under the control of selectively operable valves through pressure responsive poppet valves to the same common conduit as the chemicals for washing the chemicals from the conduit, from the outer face of the chemical poppet valves, and for further washing the mixing chamber.Type: GrantFiled: March 7, 1977Date of Patent: February 6, 1979Assignee: Kornylak CorporationInventors: Thomas Harmon, Tracy Keeling
