Publication number: 20170065300Abstract: A clamping device for an external fixation system includes a post component having a yaw axis, a first clamp secured to the post component and rotatable about the yaw axis, and a second clamp secured to the post component and rotatable about the yaw axis relative to the first clamp. The device includes a tightening component configured in a manner that an action of tightening the tightening component simultaneously locks both the first and second clamps in a gripping arrangement and substantially eliminates their relative rotation about the yaw axis. Interdigitating components can be spaced apart by high spring rate biasing elements that so as to allow for smooth adjustment of the clamping device components relative to each other until the appropriate position is achieved and until after a sufficiently high clamping load has been applied.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 18, 2016Publication date: March 9, 2017Inventors: Michael W. Mullaney, Stephen T. Miller, William Brian Austin

Publication number: 20140276000Abstract: A projection system includes a tracking system comprising a first source of light and a first light sensor; a second source of light and a second light sensor, a reflector, and a processing system. The first light sensor may record a first direction the first source is pointed when it receives a reflection of the first light source from the reflector. The second light sensor may record a second direction the second source is pointed when it receives the reflection of the second light source from the reflector. The processing system may determine a point in space corresponding to an intersection of the first and second directions, and may calculate the relationship between the first and second light sources and the reflector.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 13, 2014Publication date: September 18, 2014Inventors: Michael W.
