Counsel:  Firm: XSENSUS LLP
1st Invent:  Jose S. Rivera, Jr. (Naples, FL)
Inventors:  Genders: F=0, M=1
Abstract:
2000 char max
An implant removal tool used to remove a femoral implant from a femur bone by providing a substantially U-shaped body having a substantially rectangular-shaped opening located thereon that allows the substantially U-shaped body to be placed over a neck of a femoral implant so a sharpened front edge of the substantially U-shaped body makes direct contact with an inner surface of the stem of the femoral implant. The U-shaped body may have front side edges that extend beyond a front edge to allow the front side edges to cut anterior and posterior surface of the implant.

Counsel:  Firm: Allen D Hertz, P.A.
1st Invent:  Jeffrey Bonner (Naples, FL)
Inventors:  Genders: F=0, M=1
Abstract:
2000 char max
A constant rake planar cutting edge fluted drill bit and a method of manufacturing the same. The drill bit includes a planar cutting face formed at the tip end of the bit by a motion of a rotating machining wheel respective to a stationary blank in a first step. Once the cutting face is formed, the blank is rotated and translated in a direction parallel to an elongated axis, during which the rotating machining wheel creates a flute. Upon completion of the first flute, the bit is rotated accordingly and the processes are repeated to create each subsequent planar cutting face and respective flute. The process can also be completed in a slightly modified version of a reverse process, fabricating a flute prior to formation of the planar cutting face of the bit.

Assignee:  Seagate Technology (Fremont, CA) with total patents of: 6087 (since 2005)
Counsel:  Firm: Mueting Raasch Group
1st Invent:  Mark A. Gaertner (Fort Myers, FL)
Inventors:  Genders: F=0, M=6
Abstract:
2000 char max
A failure of a head is detected, the head reading from and writing to an affected surface of a disk of a disk drive. The failure prevents the head from writing to the affected surface but does not prevent the head from reading from the affected surface. In response to detecting the failure, a remediation is performed. The remediation involves determining spare capacity blocks on other surfaces of the disk drive different than the affected surface, and copying data from the affected surface to the spare capacity blocks via an internal copy function within the disk drive. The spare capacity blocks in place of the affected surface for data storage and retrieval subsequent to the failure.
