International Classification:

A61B 17/70
A61B 17/88

US Classification:

606260, 606279

Abstract:

A spinal implant comprises a plurality of contiguous segments, said contiguous segments being prestressed to apply torque that is a function of a negative slope of a moment difference between a degenerative torque-rotation signature and a healthy torque-rotation signature. At least one mounting connection is configured to connect said spinal implant to a mounting mechanism, said mounting mechanism being configured to attach said spinal implant to a degenerate spinal segment.

Eric M. Stratton - Provo UT, US

International Classification:

A61F 2/44

US Classification:

606279

Abstract:

A method of treating a degenerate spinal segment comprises obtaining a first spinal implant configured to apply a first torque to a degenerate spinal segment having an abnormal curvature and a second spinal implant configured to apply a second torque to said degenerate spinal segment. Each of said spinal implants includes; a plurality of contiguous segments in which said contiguous segments form an angle at a location in which two adjacent contiguous segments of the plurality of contiguous segments intersect; and at least one mounting connection configured to connect said spinal implant to a mounting mechanism, said mounting mechanism being configured to attach said spinal implant to said degenerate spinal segment. Said first spinal implant and said second spinal implant are implanted to said degenerate spinal segment so that said first torque and said second torque act to reduce said abnormal curvature.

International Classification:

A61B 17/70

US Classification:

606260

Abstract:

A spinal implant comprises a plurality of contiguous segments in which said contiguous segments form an angle at a location in which two adjacent segments of the plurality of contiguous segments intersect. At least one of said contiguous segments is prestressed to form a selected radius of curvature prior to implantation. At least one mounting connection is configured to connect said spinal implant to a mounting mechanism, said mounting mechanism being configured to attach said spinal implant to a degenerate spinal segment.

International Classification:

A61B 17/88

US Classification:

606279

Abstract:

A method of surgically implanting a spinal implant comprises obtaining at least one spinal implant configured to apply a torque to a degenerate spinal segment. Said spinal implant includes: a plurality of contiguous segments in which said contiguous segments form an angle at a location in which two adjacent contiguous segments of the plurality of contiguous segments intersect, said contiguous segments configured to apply a torque to said degenerate spinal segment; and at least one mounting connection configured to connect said spinal implant to a mounting mechanism, said mounting mechanism being configured to attach said spinal implant to said degenerate spinal segment. A minimally invasive surgical technique is used to attach said spinal implant to said degenerate spinal segment.

Appl. No.:

13/011209

Inventors:

Eric M. Stratton - Granite Bay CA, US

International Classification:

F16C 11/04
B23P 11/00

US Classification:

403119, 29428

Abstract:

A cross-flexural pivot includes a first structure with a first longitudinal axis; a second structure with a second longitudinal axis; an inner flexure member, and an outer flexure member. The inner flexure member includes a face disposed obliquely to the first and second longitudinal axes and is coupled to the first structure at a first side and the second structure at a second side opposing the first side. The outer flexure member includes a tubular face surrounding the inner flexure member, the tubular face being disposed obliquely to the first and second longitudinal axes. The outer flexure member is coupled to the first structure at the second side and to the second structure at the first side.

Eric P. Stratton - Portland OR, US

Assignee:

Rockwell Collins, Inc. - Cedar Rapids IA

International Classification:

G02B 27/01
B64D 43/00

Abstract:

A compact see-through head up display (HUD) for a vehicle such as an aircraft implemented as a fixed display positionable forward of a user (e.g., pilot), a head worn display, a helmet mounted display, etc. The HUD may be provided as an integrated stack including a see-through emissive display positioned between a predetermined number of first and second optical pairings each including a waveplate coupled with a polarization directed lens. The first optical pairing is configured to collimate display light emitted from a display side of the see-through emissive display and the second optical pairing provides an equal and opposite focal vergence effect to counter the focal vergence effect of the first optical pairing such that the see-through emissive display does not affect the focal distance of the outside environment as viewed through the see-through emissive display.

B64D 10/00

Abstract:

A display system includes an interface unit, a head worn display in wireless communication with the interface unit, and a first tracker sensor remote from a head of a user and configured to wirelessly sense a head pose and provide first head tracking data to the interface unit. The interface unit is remote from the head worn display. The display system also includes a second tracker sensor associated with the head of the user and configured to provide second head tracking data associated with the head pose to the head worn display. The interface unit is configured to receive the second head tracking data from the head worn display via at least one wireless link and provide video information for display on the head worn display via the at least one wireless link.
