Abstract: Methods and devices are provided for reducing a spinal fixation element into a spinal implant element. In one exemplary embodiment, a spinal rod reduction device is provided for reducing a spinal fixation element into a spinal implant element. The spinal rod reduction device can include a fastener engaging member for engaging at least a portion a spinal implant element, a reduction member for engaging at least a portion of a spinal fixation element, and a handle assembly mated to the reduction member. The handle assembly can be designed in such a way that actuation of the handle assembly causes movement of the reduction member relative to the fastener engaging member and the movement of the reduction member reduces the spinal fixation element into the spinal implant element. Two different styles of spinal rod reduction devices are discussed in detail. Various techniques are also provided for reducing a spinal fixation element into a spinal implant element.

Abstract: An enclosure with socket cup for use with a line voltage recessed lighting kit, having an enclosure for a splice connection between a lamp holder and a junction box, the enclosure having an open portion. The invention further comprises a socket cup having at least one socket cup sidewall engaging the open portion of the enclosure. The socket cup provides a pathway for wiring from within the socket cup to an interior of the enclosure. The enclosure with socket cup may be utilized with reflector trims of differing heights.

Abstract: A hole-locating device for use in the field for locating and assisting in the drilling of holes in cut ends of tubing includes a body having an outer wall with a plurality of outer flat surfaces and an inner cylindrical wall spaced from said outer wall. The outer wall having a pair of aligned openings on opposite sides of the side wall and the inner wall having a pair of openings spaced 180° apart, wherein the openings in the outer wall and the openings in the inner wall are in alignment. In cutting aligned openings in a tube, the tube is received within an open end of the body in the spacing between the inner wall and the outer wall and a drill bit is placed in adjacent openings in the outer wall and inner wall for receiving a drill bit therein.
