An artificial replacement disk assembly comprised of a core in between two endplates. The endplates have outer surfaces that match the surface morphologies of the corresponding vertebral endplates. The endplates may have textured inner surface to form a strong fusion with the core during the fabrication process. The thick solid endplates strongly fused to the core create a very resilient implant. Gripping structures on the endplates may permit easy manipulation of the assembly during surgical procedures.

A clicker toggle mechanism for a game controller is disclosed. The clicker toggle mechanism comprises a lever arm member and a barrel guide system. A screw member is threaded and affixed at a top portion of the lever arm member for adjusting and controlling the pull distance. The barrel is connected and extends through the bottom portion of the lever arm member. A clicker or toggle device is disposed underneath the device and locked in place with snaps. A toggle or clicker stopper screw barrel stopper pin at another end which is affixed to an armature to limit trigger or button pull distance. A clicker toggle connects to a bottom portion of the lever arm member, wherein the clicker toggle is pressed downwards to create a rotational force on the cam which locks in more than one position. The mechanism can be turned on and off during gameplay to allow unrestricted or restricted motion as needed. The barrel stopper pin guide, screw and clicker toggle mechanism can be completely removed as required by the user. The arms activate buttons located on the top of the controller when extending in the opposite direction. This eliminates the need for the user to use their thumbs to activate the buttons located on the top of the device.

Clicker mechanism for a video game controller

A clicker mechanism for a game controller is disclosed. The clicker mechanism comprises a taper-shaped member and a barrel. A screw member is threadably affixed at a top portion of the taper-shaped member for adjusting the pull distance. The barrel is removably extends from a bottom portion of the taper-shaped member. A cam is disposed at an inner portion of the taper-shaped member with snaps at one end and a cam stopper pin at another end. A clicker connects to a bottom portion of the taper-shaped member, wherein the clicker is pressed downwards to create a rotational force on the cam which locks the snaps to the screw member to hold the adjustable levers in position, and wherein the clicker is released to create a rotational force on the cam which unlocks the snaps from the screw member and allows movement of the adjustable levers.
