Abstract: Bone reduction forceps provide both continuous and discrete adjustment of force. A worm gear rotatably attached to one arm of the forceps engages a rack attached to another arm of the forceps to provide both the continuous and discrete force adjustment. Buttress threads on the worm and/or the rack allow for rapid closure by squeezing the handles of the forceps. Rotating the worm gear allows for fine adjustment of closing force. A five-bar linkage provides increased mechanical advantage and an extra degree of freedom, compared to conventional forceps. Interchangeable tips provide flexibility, allowing a user to customize the forceps to a task or the user's preferences.

Abstract: A method or corresponding apparatus in an example embodiment of the present invention relates to penetrating a particulate substrate using a compact, lightweight, low-energy, reversible, and dynamic device for burrowing through particulate substrates. In one preferred embodiment, the apparatus includes at least one vessel and a displacement module coupled with the vessel. The actuation of the displacement module fluidizes the particulate substrate proximate to the vessel and thereby reduces resistance of the particulate substrate to movement of the vessel and causes further penetration of the apparatus through the particulate substrate. The example embodiment utilizes volume contraction and localized fluidizing to efficiently move through substrates.

Abstract: Nonlinear spring. In one embodiment, the spring includes two opposed curved surfaces curving away from one another. A flexible cantilever member is disposed between the two opposed curved surfaces and a mass is attached to a free end of the cantilever member wherein the flexible cantilever member wraps around one of the curved surfaces as the cantilever member deflects to form a nonlinear spring. Energy harvesting devices and a load cell are also disclosed.
