  • Patent number: 11992228
    Abstract: Reciprocating rasps for the surgical preparation of the bone prior to the implantation of a glenoid or acetabular component with complex geometry are disclosed. Surgical methods for the use of such reciprocating rasps are also disclosed. Some of the methods include inserting a guide pin into the glenoid of the patient, advancing a reciprocating surgical rasp over the guide pin, reciprocating the surgical rasp so as to abrade bone tissue to form a cavity shaped to receive the glenoid component, and implanting the glenoid component in the cavity.

  • Patent number: 8556901
    Abstract: Reciprocating rasps for the surgical preparation of the bone prior to the implantation of a glenoid or acetabular component with complex geometry are disclosed. Surgical methods for the use of such reciprocating rasps are also disclosed. A reciprocating rasp for use in the surgical preparation of a glenoid includes a shaft having a first end configured to be secured in a chuck of a reciprocating tool, and a cutting head secured to a second end of the shaft. The cutting head includes a cutting surface having a plurality of cutting teeth arranged in a geometry that corresponds with a geometry of the glenoid prosthesis, and an inwardly curved concave guide surface that is devoid of cutting teeth and configured to receive a guide pin inserted in the glenoid of the patient when the cutting head is secured to the second end of the shaft.

  • Patent number: 6098903
    Abstract: A fuel injector includes an injector body defining a terminal passage extending between a solenoid cavity and an outer surface. A solenoid assembly is press fit attached to the injector body and received in the solenoid cavity. The solenoid assembly includes a bobbin sandwiched between an upper magnetic flux carrier and a lower magnetic flux carrier. At least one of the flux carriers is plastically deformed when the solenoid assembly is attached to the injector body. A terminal assembly has an external terminal, an electrical conductor and a sealing member surrounding a portion of the electrical conductor. A portion of the electrical conductor and the sealing member are received in the terminal passage. A clamp is in contact with the outer surface of the injector body and the terminal assembly.
