Abstract: The present invention is an implant for bone. The current implant is particularly useful in spinal surgical procedures.

Abstract: An audio system is provided with at least two low frequency transducers to project sound within a room and a portable device with at least two microphones to receive sound at the first listening location from multiple directions. A microcontroller is programmed to provide a calibration command in response to a user input, and to provide a measurement signal indicative of the sound received by the microphone array. A processor is programmed to provide a test signal in response to receiving the calibration command, wherein each low frequency transducer is adapted to generate a test sound in response to the test signal. The processor is further programmed to: process the measurement signal to predict a sound response at a second listening location adjacent to the first listening location, and adjust a sound setting associated with each low frequency transducer to optimize sound at the first and second listening locations.

Abstract: A load bearing implant provided with an auto-generator generating an electric charge. One or more nanogenerators are incorporated into or onto the load bearing implant or a delivery vehicle. It is believed that electric charge improves the healing of damaged/injured tissues.

Abstract: An orthopedic prosthesis for stimulating bone growth may include a substrate having at least one bone-facing surface and at least one internal surface, at least one piezoelectric nanostructure coupled to the at least one bone-facing surface of the substrate, at least one charge storing material placed within the orthopedic prosthesis proximate the at least one internal surface, and an interconnect in electrical communication with the at least one piezoelectric nanostructure and the charge storing material. The at least one piezoelectric nanostructure may be configured to generate an electric charge in response to at least one mechanical force applied to the at least one piezoelectric nanostructure and the interconnect may be configured to transfer the electric charge to the at least one charge storing material to promote bone in-growth within the orthopedic prosthesis and/or on the at least one bone-facing surface.
