Encased magnetic bone growth stimulating devices and methods of use are provided herein. An example device includes a magnet and a biocompatible means for enclosing the magnet. The biocompatible means for enclosing the magnet further comprises a means for releasably coupling with the medical implant and a means for coupling the enclosing means to an implantable medical device.

Encased magnetic bone growth stimulating devices and methods of use

Bone structure coupling devices and methods are provided herein. An example method includes positioning a tubular retraction guide body into a patient, the tubular retraction guide body having two prongs that are positioned in a joint between two adjacent bone structures, creating a hemispherical groove on each of the two adjacent bone structures using a drill bit passed through the tubular retraction guide body, incising out the hemispherical grooves with a broach passed through the tubular retraction guide body, and inserting a graft body having a generally rectangular cross sectional area into the angular grooves to couple the two adjacent bone structures together.

Bone structure coupling systems and methods of use

A longitude finder for locating the longitude on the earth of a defined location at which the user of the device is positioned. The device includes a reflective surface for viewing an image of one body in the solar system, such as the moon or a planet, while directly observing another body such as the north star. One specific form of the device is a mirror having side panels secured perpendicular to the mirror in parallel spaced relation to permit the user to directly view the north star above an image in the mirror of the moon or a defined planet. The other form of the device includes a sphere such as made of glass with side panels and handles for supporting this sphere whereby the first body in the solar system such as the north star is observed directly and a first reflection of the moon or a planet is seen in the outer surface of the sphere and a second reflection from the inner surface of the sphere while directly observing the north star in vertical alignment with the reflections. The exact Greenwich mean time is determined at the location of the user and a nautical almanac is consulted to establish the exact longitude of the user based upon whether the moon or a defined planet is used.

Longitude location device

The present invention relates to improvements in firing and cocking mechanism of a breach loading firearm. This invention utilizes a substantially massive pin block disposed in a horizontal track between two counter biasing springs, the main spring and the counter spring. A firing pin extends from the chamber end of the pin block. When the cocked pin block is released, the main spring drives it toward the chamber and the momentum of the moving pin block carries the extended firing into contact with the primer of the cartridge despite the resistance of the counter spring. Lowering the breechblock allows a spring loaded ejector plate to spring backward and pull the spent cartridge casing from the chamber. In addition the ejector plate strikes a projection of the pin block and drives the pin block back to the cocked position. An extension of a lever which operates the action returns the ejector plate to the chamber so that the breechblock is able to rise unobstructed. Lost motion pivots connecting this lever to the breechblock provide the timing whereby one return stroke of the lever sequentially seats the ejector and raises the breechblock. The trigger release mechanism for this firearm is simply constructed from a very limited number of ruggedly manufactured parts.

Firing pin mechanism

Disclosed is a repeating firearm having a vertically slidable block mounted behind the barrel. The upper portion of the block carries a firing pin, and one or more cartridge holding chambers are provided in the lower portion. A cartridge ejector is mounted at the rear of the barrel. The block is slidable between a lower position permitting operation of the ejector, an intermediate position aligning the firing pin with the barrel, and one or more upper positions aligning said cartridge holding chambers with the barrel for transferring cartridges from the chambers to the barrel for firing. In one embodiment a tubular magazine is provided beneath the barrel for holding additional cartridges end-to-end and means are provided for transferring cartridges from the magazine to a cartridge holding chamber in the block, for ultimate transfer therefrom into the barrel.
