TL;DR: In this article, a system for stabilizing the vertebral column without requiring the excision of bone from the superior or inferior vertebrae or resection of the adjacent anterior or posterior longitudinal ligaments is described.
Abstract: A system for stabilizing the vertebral column without requiring the excision of bone from the superior or inferior vertebrae or the resection of the adjacent anterior or posterior longitudinal ligaments. The system includes a stabilizing device and a deployment system composed of first and second coacting tools. The stabilizing device is made up of an expandable threaded insert and an expansion screw. The threaded insert is a hollow cylindrical member having a central cylindrical threaded bore, and a self tapping helical thread extending about the outer periphery of the member. The member is split at its proximal end in communication with the bore to form a pair of slots extending parallel to its longitudinal axis. The expandable insert is arranged to be screwed by the first tool into the intervertebral space between the superior and inferior vertebrae to a desired depth and with the slots oriented in a plane generally perpendicular to the longitudinal axis of the vertebral column. The first tool includes a pair of extending fingers which fit into the slots to achieve that end. When screwed in, the self-tapping threads cut into the cortical bone of the superior and inferior vertebrae contiguous to the intervertebral space, but not substantially into the cancellous bone. The expansion screw is tapered and arranged to be screwed into the internally threaded bore in the expandable insert by the second tool. The second tool fits into the first tool. When the expansion insert is screwed into the expandable insert it causes the slots of the expandable insert to open and thereby spread the superior and inferior vertebrae apart, thereby stabilizing the being's vertebral column.

1 May 2008TL;DR: A vibrator mounting bracket may hold a vibrator in place within the housing and a threaded insert may be welded to the spring to attach the vibrator to the housing as discussed by the authors.
Abstract: A portable electronic device such as a handheld electronic device is provided. The device may have upper and lower portions. The upper portion may have clips that attach to springs on the lower portion. The device may have a housing with a bezel. A prong on the springs may ground the bezel. A vibrator mounting bracket may hold a vibrator in place within the housing. The vibrator mounting bracket may have an end that engages the housing. A threaded insert may be welded to the spring. A screw that passes through a hole in the vibrator mounting bracket may be screwed into the threaded insert to attach the vibrator to the housing. An elastomeric member may bias the vibrator towards the bracket. An acoustic module may serve as a subassembly for the device. Components such as an antenna, dock connector, microphone, and speaker may be attached to the acoustic module.

26 Apr 2001TL;DR: In this paper, an annular turbine frame including a first ring such as a radially outer casing disposed coaxially about an axial centerline axis and having a plurality of circumferentially spaced apart hollow struts are joined radially to the first ring by a corresponding plurality of collars.
Abstract: An annular turbine frame includes a first ring such as a radially outer casing disposed coaxially about an axial centerline axis and having a plurality of circumferentially spaced apart first ports. A plurality of circumferentially spaced apart hollow struts are joined radially to the first ring by a corresponding plurality of collars. Each strut has radially opposite first and second ends, and a through channel extending therebetween. Each of the collars is disposed between a respective one of the strut first ends and the first ring in alignment with a respective one of the first ports for removably joining the struts to the first ring. Each of the collars includes a base disposed against the first ring and has a plurality of mounting holes for receiving mounting bolts therethrough to removably join the base to the first ring. The base has a central aperture aligned with the first port. Each collar mounting hole has a hole counterbore through a radially outer portion of the collar mounting hole. A radially inner portion of the collar mounting hole is threaded to receive and hold a threaded insert which includes inner and outer threaded surfaces. A washer is disposed in the hole counterbore and the mounting bolts are disposed through first ring holes disposed through the first ring, the washer, and screwed into the threaded inner surface of the insert.

TL;DR: In this article, a threaded insert is designed to snap into a standard bone plate hole, and the insert has an upper section divided into sectors by slots, a lower section having deflectable tabs with external projections, and a central threaded hole.
Abstract: A threaded insert is designed to snap into a standard bone plate hole The insert has an upper section divided into sectors by slots, a lower section having deflectable tabs with external projections, and a central threaded hole When a standard bone screw is tightened in the insert, the insert rigidly fixes the screw to the plate by collapsing the threads of the insert onto the threads of the screw, and by expanding the sectors of the upper section to clamp the bone plate

11 May 1984TL;DR: A threaded insert for drywall having an externally threaded portion and an unthreaded drilling portion of generally equal length is described in this paper. But the insert is adapted to be installed in a single step with the use of a hand powered screwdriver.
Abstract: A threaded insert for drywall having an externally threaded portion and an unthreaded drilling portion of generally equal lengths. The insert is adapted to be installed in a single step with the use of a hand powered screwdriver. A low profile flange at the upper end spaced a distance from the threads allows the insert to be installed flush with the surface of the drywall. Two embodiments are disclosed, one of molded zinc and the other of plastic material. Both embodiments include a drilling portion which can be deflected laterally upon the insertion of a screw therethrough, allowing the use of a single moderate length screw for attaching articles of various thicknesses. The insert eliminates the need to pre-drill a hole with a separate tool.
