Inventors:  Genders: F=0, M=5
Abstract:
2000 char max
Surgical constructs, assemblies, kits and methods of tissue fixation are disclosed. A suture passing instrument includes a curved tip integral with a distal end of a shaft, a hand assembly mounted on a proximal end of the shaft, and a flexible strand attached to one or two needles and loaded through a cannulation of the shaft. The curve-shaped tip is adapted to engage dural tissue during repairs of the dura mater. The suture passing instrument can grasp and manipulate dura mater and can allow multiple suture passes through the dura mater without removal of the instrument from the durotomy site. The suture passing instrument is provided with a safety mechanism that prohibits the needle(s) to be fired into nerves, providing a safe, reliable, inexpensive, and speedy repair of a durotomy.

Counsel:  Firm: Brooks Kushman P.C.
1st Invent:  Brendan F. Diamond (Naples, FL)
Inventors:  Genders: F=0, M=5
Abstract:
2000 char max
A vehicle security system controls access to vehicle functions when a user triggers vehicle access while carrying a first portable wireless token. Stored attributes for the first token are retrieved from a memory which stores respective attributes for a plurality of wireless tokens. At least one of the portable wireless tokens is integrated with a portable object having a non-vehicular function. When the retrieved attributes for the first token identify the wireless token integrated with the portable object, then a security controller checks for the presence of that selected token. When the selected token integrated with the portable object is not detected, then a message is transmitted to the user indicating that the portable object integrated with the non-detected token is not present in the vehicle. The stored attributes may include a limitation wherein the access request is granted only when the presence of the selected other token is detected.
