摘要： An intervertebral spacer is inserted between vertebral members in a compact configuration and expanded post-insertion to contact the adjacent vertebral members. The intervertebral spacer comprises a first member and a second member movable with respect to the first member between retracted and extended positions.

摘要： The application is directed to implants that are adjustable between collapsed and expanded orientations. The collapsed orientation includes a smaller height to facilitate insertion into the patient. The expanded orientation includes a larger height for spacing and/or supporting the vertebral members. The implants generally include three or more separate sections that are nested together in the collapsed orientation. The sections move outward away from each other in the expanded orientation. An expansion means may be operatively connected to one or more of the sections to move the implants between the orientations. Methods of use are also included for moving the implants between the collapsed and expanded orientations.

摘要： Vertebral implants that may be movable between collapsed and expanded orientations to space apart first and second vertebral members. The implants may include first and second contact surfaces to contact against the vertebral members. The implants may include nested struts. The implants may have a first height measured between the contact surfaces in the collapsed orientation with a first amount of overlap in the struts. The implants may have a second height in the expanded orientation with a lesser amount of overlap in the struts.

摘要： In general terms, embodiments of the present invention relate to fan assemblies and methods for installing the same. For example, some embodiments of the present invention include a fan assembly that includes: (a) a rotational member; (b) a connection member structured for connection to the rotational member and including a body portion and a head portion; and (c) a blade arm defining an opening therein, such that the opening includes an open end portion and a closed end portion. In some embodiments, the connection member and the blade arm are configured such that, (a) when the blade arm is positioned in a support state, the head portion of the connection member rests against the blade arm to support the blade arm relative to the rotational member, and (b) when the blade arm is positioned in a secure state, the head portion of the connection member at least partially bears against the blade arm adjacent to the opening defined in the blade arm. Also, some of these embodiments of the present invention may be characterized as “easy install” fan assemblies because they include an “easy install” blade arm to motor connection, as described above, and/or an “easy install” blade arm to fan blade connection.

摘要翻译： 一般来说，本发明的实施例涉及风扇组件及其安装方法。 例如，本发明的一些实施例包括风扇组件，其包括：（a）旋转构件; （b）构造成用于连接到旋转构件并且包括主体部分和头部部分的连接构件; 和（c）在其中限定开口的刀臂，使得该开口包括开口端部分和封闭端部。 在一些实施例中，连接构件和刀臂构造成使得（a）当刀臂位于支撑状态时，连接构件的头部抵靠刀臂支撑以相对于刀臂支撑刀臂 旋转构件，和（b）当刀臂位于安全状态时，连接构件的头部至少部分地抵靠与限定在刀臂中的开口相邻的刀臂。 此外，本发明的这些实施例中的一些可以被表征为“易安装”风扇组件，因为它们包括如上所述的“容易安装”的电机连接的叶片臂和/或“易于安装”的叶片臂到风扇 刀片连接。
