  • Publication number: 20190021867
    Abstract: A reverse shoulder joint prosthesis (1) for location between a humerus and a scapula comprised a ball (5) to be fixed to the scapula and a humeral stem 6 to be fixed to the humerus. The prosthesis comprises a first cup (2), a second cup (3) and a plate (4) retained between said cups. The first cup is free to move about the ball. The plate has a trunion (16) adapted to connect to the humeral stem through an aperture in the second cup. The plate is free to move between the cups. The prosthesis has a first phase of movement in which the plate moves between the cups and a distinct second phase of movement in which the first cup moves on the ball. The shoulder joint prosthesis provides an extended range of movement through the provision of two motion phases while minimising wear, scapula infringement and instability.

  • Patent number: 9816717
    Abstract: Apparatus, systems and methods of 80/90 CFM ventilation exhaust fans for bathrooms with telescoping side extension brackets and side by side electric driven motor and blower wheel, and being used with or without lights. The exhaust fans can include a single main housing, that allows for a blower housing to support the motor and a blower wheel in a side by side arrangement. The exhaust fans can further include an outside wiring box that is externally located to the main housing. The wiring box can have support male plugs and female receptacles for supplying an electrical power supply to the electric motor and light. The side extension brackets can include telescoping members that allow the exhaust fans to be easily attached to structural members inside of a ceiling so that the exhaust fan has a vent cover attached to the ceiling. Inside of the exhaust fans can be light box with closed sides and bottom which prevents incoming air from passing directly onto the lights.

  • Publication number: 20090054711
    Abstract: Pyrolysis systems and methods of recovering bio-oil product of are disclosed. An illustrative embodiment of a pyrolysis system, among others, includes: a pyrolysis reactor that produces a first bio-oil stream; an injection spray system for receiving the first bio-oil stream, wherein the injection spray system is configured to spray a solvent liquid onto the first bio-oil stream to produce a second bio-oil stream, wherein the injection spray system is configured to control the removal of heat from the first bio-oil stream; and a post injection spray system that is configured to receive the second bio-oil stream.
