ABSTRACT: We investigated the clinical application of extended distal pancreatectomy in patients with pancreatic neck cancer accompanied by distal pancreatic atrophy. In this study, we have emphasized on the technical aspects of using the linear stapling device for a bulky target organ.01/2014; 18(3):77. DOI:10.14701/kjhbps.2014.18.3.77
Article: Transarterial chemoembolization versus surgery/radiofrequency ablation for recurrent hepatocellular carcinoma with or without microvascular invasion[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: Microvascular invasion (MVI) is a well-known prognostic factor of postoperative recurrence and of overall survival (OS) in patients with hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). We compared the treatment outcomes of transarterial chemoembolization (TACE) and surgery/radiofrequency ablation (RFA) according to the presence of MVI in patients with early or late recurrent HCC that presented as Barcelona Clinical Liver Cancer (BCLC) stage 0 or A after curative resection for HCC METHODS: A consecutive 68 patients with recurrent HCC of BCLC stage 0 or A at our institution between 1998 and 2012 were retrospectively enrolled. We compared the outcomes of patients treated by TACE or surgery/RFA. Tumor recurrence after curative resection was classified as early (≤12 months) or late (>12 months) recurrence. Median tumor size was 1.5 cm (range, 1-10 cm), and 67 (98.5%) had HCCs within the Milan criteria. Median post-retreatment follow-up duration was 27 months (range, 1-109 months). Of the 68 patients, 19 (27.9%) underwent surgery/RFA, 47 (69.1%) TACE, and 2 (2.9%) were lost to follow-up. After retreatment, TACE showed significantly higher OS and recurrence free survival rates than surgery/RFA in MVI-positive patients (P=0.03 and P=0.05, respectively), but not in MVI-negative patients (P=0.95 and P=0.98, respectively). In particular, in early recurred MVI-positive patients, TACE had a significantly higher OS rate than surgery/RFA (P=0.01). TACE may be the more effective treatment option for recurrent HCC of BCLC stage 0 or A than surgery/RFA in MVI-positive patients, especially in those that recur early after curative resection.Journal of Gastroenterology and Hepatology 12/2013; 29(5).

Article: Survival outcome of patients with spontaneously ruptured hepatocellular carcinoma treated surgically or by transarterial embolization[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: To evaluate clinical outcomes of patients that underwent surgery, transarterial embolization (TAE), or supportive care for spontaneously ruptured hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). A consecutive 54 patients who diagnosed as spontaneously ruptured HCC at our institution between 2003 and 2012 were retrospectively enrolled. HCC was diagnosed based on the diagnostic guidelines issued by the 2005 American Association for the Study of Liver Diseases. HCC rupture was defined as disruption of the peritumoral liver capsule with enhanced fluid collection in the perihepatic area adjacent to the HCC by dynamic liver computed tomography, and when abdominal paracentesis showed an ascitic red blood cell count of > 50000 mm(3)/mL in bloody fluid. Of the 54 patients, 6 (11.1%) underwent surgery, 25 (46.3%) TAE, and 23 (42.6%) supportive care. The 2-, 4- and 6-mo cumulative survival rates at 2, 4 and 6 mo were significantly higher in the surgery (60%, 60% and 60%) or TAE (36%, 20% and 20%) groups than in the supportive care group (8.7%, 0% and 0%), respectively (each, P < 0.01), and tended to be higher in the surgical group than in the TAE group. Multivariate analysis showed that serum bilirubin (HR = 1.09, P < 0.01), creatinine (HR = 1.46, P = 0.04), and vasopressor requirement (HR = 2.37, P = 0.02) were significantly associated with post-treatment mortality, whereas surgery (HR = 0.41, P < 0.01), and TAE (HR = 0.13, P = 0.01) were inversely associated with post-treatment mortality. Post-treatment survival after surgery or TAE was found to be better than after supportive care, and surgery tended to provide better survival benefit than TAE.World Journal of Gastroenterology 07/2013; 19(28):4537-44.

ABSTRACT: Clusterin is known to be expressed in many human neoplasms, and is believed to participate in the regeneration, migration, and anti-apoptosis of tumor cells. However, few reports have addressed the relationship between the manifestation of clusterin and clinicopathologic parameters in pancreas cancer patients. In the present study, the authors investigated the expression of clusterin and its clinical significance in pancreatic adenocarcinoma. Immunohistochemical staining was performed for clusterin in tumor tissues obtained from patients who received pancreatic resection with radical intent, and the associations of clusterin expression with various clinicopathologic parameters were analyzed in addition to the relation between its expression and survival. Immunoreactivity for clusterin was observed in 17 of the 52 (33%) pancreatic adenocarcinomas examined. In addition, clusterin positivity was found to be associated with preoperative serum carcinoembryonic antigen level, perineural invasion, and, most strongly, lymph node metastasis. The survival analysis identified tumor differentiation and lymph node metastasis as the only significant prognostic factors. Although not an independent prognostic factor, clusterin immunoreactivity can be used in conjunction with lymph node metastasis to predict survival in cases of pancreatic adenocarcinoma.World Journal of Surgical Oncology 07/2012; 10:146.

Article: Prevalence and Characteristics of Major Vascular Diseases of Elderly Men in the Incheon Area[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: Purpose: As Korea is an aging society (WHO classification) and projected to be an aged society in 10 years, peripheral vascular diseases (PVD) in the elderly population has emerged as an important social and medical issue. But their prevalence was rarely reported in Korea. The purpose of this study is to define the prevalence of carotid artery stenosis (CAS), abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA), and peripheral arterial occlusive disease (PAOD) of lower limb in the Incheon area. Methods: Elderly men (>= 65 years) were referred randomly from the Incheon Federation of Korean Senior Citizens' Association (from Nov 2008 to Sep 2009) to lnha Univeristy Hospital, Incheon, Korea for a PVD screening program. The subjects were screened for CAS and AAA by duplex. CAS was defined as >= 50% internal CAS and AAA as >= 3 cm aortic diameter in minor axis. PAOD of lower limb was screened by measurement of ankle brachial index (ABI.); ABt of <= 0.9 was considered abnormal. Results: 1150 subjects were screened including 103 octogenarians (9.0%). Mean age was 72.3 +/- 0.2 years. Combined conditions were hypertension (54.3%), diabetes mellitus (25.2%), coronary artery disease (15.6%), dyslipidemia (18.9%), obesity (31.1%) and smoking history (71.7%). CAS was detected in 7.7% (89/1,150) subjects. Thirty-three (2.9%) were diagnosed with AAA. PAOD was detected in 50 subjects (4.4%). Conclusion: Prevalence of PVD in Korea is not lower compared to that of western countries, especially the USA and the UK. A nationwide program for timely detection and treatment for IND should be developed. (J Korean Surg Soc 2010;78:305-313)Journal of the Korean Surgical Society 05/2010; 78(5).

ABSTRACT: To analyze the risk factors of pancreatic leakage after pancreaticoduodenectomy. We retrospectively reviewed 172 consecutive patients who had undergone pancreatico-duodenectomy at Inha University Hospital between April 1996 and March 2006. We analyzed the pancreatic fistula rate according to the clinical characteristics, the pathologic and laboratory findings, and the anastomotic methods. The incidence of developing pancreatic fistulas in patients older than 60 years of age was 21.7% (25/115), while the incidence was 8.8% (5/57) for younger patients; the difference was significant (P=0.03). Patients with a dilated pancreatic duct had a lower rate of post-operative pancreatic fistulas than patients with a non-dilated duct (P=0.001). Other factors, including clinical features, anastomotic methods, and pathologic diagnosis, did not show any statistical difference. Our study demonstrated that pancreatic fistulas are related to age and a dilated pancreatic duct. The surgeon must take these risk factors into consideration when performing a pancreaticoduodenectomy.World Journal of Gastroenterology 01/2009; 14(45):6970-4. · 2.43 Impact Factor
Article: Effect of preoperative biliary drainage on surgical results after pancreaticoduodenectomy in patients with distal common bile duct cancer: focused on the rate of decrease in serum bilirubin.[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: To examine if the rate of decrease in serum bilirubin after preoperative biliary drainagecan be used as a predicting factor for surgical complications and postoperative recovery after pancreaticoduodenectomy in patients with distal common bile duct cancer. A retrospective study was performed in 49 consecutive patients who underwent pancreaticoduodenectomy for distal common bile duct cancer. Potential risk factors were compared between the complicated and uncomplicated groups. Also, the rates of decrease in serum bilirubin were compared pre- and postoperatively. Preoperative biliary drainage (PBD) was performed in 40 patients (81.6%). Postoperative morbidity and mortality rates were 46.9% (23/49) and 6.1% (3/49), respectively. The presence or absence of PBD was not different between the complicated and uncomplicated groups. In patients with PBD, neither the absolute level nor the rate of decrease in serum bilirubin was significantly different. Patients with rapid decrease preoperatively showed faster decrease during the first postoperative week (5.5 +/- 4.4 micromol/L vs -1.7 +/- 9.9 micromol/L, P = 0.004). PBD does not affect the surgical outcome of pancreaticoduodenectomy in patients with distal common bile duct cancer. There is a certain group of patients with a compromised hepatic excretory function, which is represented by the slow rate of decrease in serum bilirubin after PBD.World Journal of Gastroenterology 03/2008; 14(7):1102-7. · 2.43 Impact Factor

ABSTRACT: To evaluate the efficacy of a new nuclear imaging Infecton (Tc-99m ciprofloxacin) for the diagnosis of acute cholecystitis. Sixteen patients thought to have acute cholecystitis were included in this study. The diagnosis of acute cholecystitis was made based on clinical symptoms and ultrasonographic and pathologic findings. The 16 patients were composed of 12 acute and 4 chronic cholecystitis patients. Twelve patients with acute cholecystitis were image-positive, including one false-positive. Four patients with chronic cholecystitis were image-negative, of whom three were true-negative. This nuclear imaging had a sensitivity of 91.7%, a specificity of 75%, a positive-predictive value of 91.7%, and a negative-predictive value of 75%. Tc-99m ciprofloxacin imaging is easy to perform and applicable for the diagnosis of acute cholecystitis.World Journal of Gastroenterology 07/2007; 13(23):3249-52. · 2.43 Impact Factor
Article: Gasless Endoscopic Thyroidectomy via an Anterior Chest Wall Approach Using a Flap-Lifting System[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: Endoscopic thyroidectomy (ET) requires a proper working space for adequate visualization of anatomical structures and proper instrument manipulation. The purpose of this prospective study was to estimate the feasibility and safety of ET using an anterior chest wall approach without gas insufflation. The working space was created under a direct and endoscopic view through a 3-cm incision on the anterior chest wall. A retracting device was then inserted to establish the working space, and subsequent procedures were performed endoscopically. All data were reviewed using a prospective database. We performed 30 ETs in patients with benign thyroid tumors from December 2003 to December 2005. The procedures were completed successfully in 29 patients (mean operative time: 160.6 min; range: 90-345 min). One patient with ET was converted to open thyroidectomy secondary to substernal extension of the tumor. None of the patients developed permanent postoperative hypocalcemia or recurrent laryngeal nerve paralysis. Three patients exhibited some degree of transient recurrent laryngeal nerve palsy. These data suggest that gasless ET using an anterior chest wall approach is safe and feasible in selected patients for treating benign thyroid tumors. This technique may offer good operative working space when performed by surgeons with relatively low-volume ET practices.Yonsei Medical Journal 07/2007; 48(3):480-7.

Article: Surgical clips found at the hepatic duct after laparoscopic cholecystectomy: a possible case of clip migration.[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: Surgical clip migration and subsequent stone formation in the common bile duct is a rare but well-established complication after laparoscopic cholecystectomy. There are some suggestions about the mechanisms of the migration process, but the details are still unclear. We report here a case in which common bile duct stones were formed around surgical clips, and other clips were found to have penetrated into the common hepatic duct, which we believe were in the process of migration after laparoscopic cholecystectomy. The patient required a laparotomy to retrieve the bile duct stones due to the distal stricture, and another laparotomy was necessary to remove the penetrating clips, which were deeply embedded in the bile duct wall. Although a variety of endoscopic and percutaneous interventional procedures are available in this era of modern medical technology, it is sometimes impractical to apply these procedures in such cases as ours, and exploratory laparotomy is sometimes required to correctly treat the patient. This case shows that the metallic surgical clips can penetrate into the intact bile duct wall through serial maceration, and we believe that careful application of clips may be the only way to prevent their migration after laparoscopic cholecystectomy.Surgical laparoscopy, endoscopy & percutaneous techniques 10/2005; 15(5):279-82.

They were first held in an abandoned fort, where they ate moderately well and were allowed to keep some of their fine clothing and books. Conditions steadily deteriorated, and the family was eventually transferred to a remote desert prison, where they suffered a decade of solitary confinement, torture, starvation, and the complete absence of sunlight. Oufkir's horrifying descriptions of the conditions are mesmerizing, particularly when contrasted with her earlier life in the royal court, and many graphic images will long haunt readers. Finally, teetering on the edge of madness and aware that they had been left to die, Oufkir and her siblings managed to tunnel out using their bare hands and teaspoons, only to be caught days later. Her account of their final flight to freedom makes for breathtaking reading. Stolen Lives is a remarkable book of unfathomable deprivation and the power of the human will to survive. --This text refers to an alternate Hardcover edition.

Access Your Apps and Docs Remotely with FreeNX
Productivity Sauce
The ability to control your primary machine remotely can come in rather handy when you need to access your documents and applications using your netbook or laptop. While you might be tempted to go with a solution based on the popular VNC protocol, you should keep in mind that it has two serious limitations: it's both insecure and slow. A much better solution is to use the FreeNX server and an NX client, which offers a secure connection that works well even with a slow modem link -- a boon for users on the move.
The first order of business is to install the FreeNX server software on your primary machine. To do this on Ubuntu, you have to add the FreeNX Team PPA repository to the sources.list file. Open the file for editing using the sudo nano /etc/apt/sources.list command and add the following lines to it:
deb http://ppa.launchpad.net/freenx-team/ubuntu VERSION main deb-src http://ppa.launchpad.net/freenx-team/ubuntu VERSION main
Replace the VERSION string with the actual Ubuntu version installed on your machine (e.g., "jaunty" for Ubuntu 9.04). Save the modifications and close the file. Next, add the public key of FreeNX PPA using the following command:
sudo apt-key adv --recv-keys --keyserver keyserver.ubuntu.com 2a8e3034d018a4ce
Update the repository info and install the FreeNX server:
sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install freenx
Run then the nxsetup utility to install and configure the server:
sudo /usr/lib/nx/nxsetup --install
The setup procedure automatically starts the FreeNX server, but you can always stop and start the server manually using the following commands:
sudo /etc/init.d/freenx-server stop sudo /etc/init.d/freenx-server start
Once the server is up and running, it's time to install NX client software on your netbook or laptop. To do this, use the sudo apt-get install qtnx command which installs the QtNX NX client.
Launch QtNX, and select Create new session from the Session drop-down list to set up a new session. Most of the fields in the configuration window are self-explanatory, so you shouldn't have any problems configuring the session. Press OK when you are done, enter your user name and password of the user account on the remote host, hit the Connect button, and you should see the remote desktop in all its beauty.

I Said SitRead MoreOffering everything from basic schooling to in-home private lessons, "I Said Sit!" is a one-stop shop for puppy behavior, and a place where dog owners can feel safe taking their four-legged loved ones for training. Tucked away on Robertson Boulevard near the 10 freeway, "I Said Sit!" offers both four week comprehensive behavioral instruction programs (including lessons for the owner) and more limited six-lesson small group classes. They even offer training for puppies, where they learn to socialize and are housebroken. All the in-facility programs take place at the 1,600 -square foot "I Said Sit!" training room space, with rubber floors (for paw comfort). Award winning founder Jonathan Klein is considered one of the best trainers in the city.3368 S Robertson BlvdLos Angeles, CA US
Oceans AquariumRead MoreGrowing up on the shores of the Mediterranean Sea, Golan Binder quickly developed a fondness for the ocean. That love of aquatic life didn't dissipate when he moved to Los Angeles. So after years of enjoying aquariums as a hobbyist, he decided to launch his own business, Oceans Aquarium. Today, Golan and his team design, install, and maintain saltwater aquariums of all sizes. Their approach is meticulous. They make sure that the tank's equipment can't be heard from across the room. They design layouts that draw attention to the fish. They minimize the presence of the equipment without even hiring a magician to make it disappear. Projects can range from a little 10-gallon tank for the office to an elaborate living-reef environment replete with fish, shrimp, starfish, snails, and coral.2812 Oakhurst AveLos Angeles, CA US

This is Butterick 5860, which is the perfect maternity dress. I made this up just in time for Easter, and have already worn it three times! While cutting out the large pieces on grain was a bit of a challenge for me (I am pretty meticulous about making sure my knits are cut correctly on the grain), sewing this up was a breeze. The only change I made to the pattern was adding some twill tape to stabilize the should seam, something I learned while sewing up Sewaholic's Renfrew.

A microphone shock-mount system utilizes an outer tubular shell having a diameter substantially greater than that of a typical microphone and having a length shorter than that of a typical microphone. The shell is attached to a microphone stand adaptor of a swivel type commonly utilized for attachment to the shaft of a stand or boom, and is configured with a pattern of through-holes into which round stretch-cord is laced to establish several runs extending across internally under tension, typically four runs: a pair at the front and a second pair at the rear of the shell. The stretch-cord runs are configured in a special offset pattern such that a typical microphone with cable attached can be mounted and retained in a concentric location within the shell by inserting the free end of the microphone to spread and engage the central region of each opposed pair of stretch-cord runs. For holding a small-sized region of a microphone, the center region of adjacent runs may be deflected inwardly in a manner to cris-cross each other, forming a double-X pattern that stretches the cord to greater tension, wraps further around the microphone and retains it more securely. The microphone shock-mount system of the present invention features simple construction, convenient installation and removal of a microphone, secure support and resilient cushioning for isolation against mechanical shock.
1. A shock mount system for resiliently supporting a microphone comprising:
a tubular shell having a central axis, an inside diameter substantially greater than that of a typical microphone and a predetermined length along the central axis, substantially less than length of a typical microphone;
fastening means for attaching said shell to a shaft of a conventional microphone stand; and
at least three elastic cord runs disposed within said shell, each said cord run made and arranged to stretch with a predetermined undeployed tension substantially diametrically across said shell orthogonal to the axis disposed at a predetermined offset distance from the axis and arranged in a pattern such that, in deployment, a microphone inserted generally along the axis amongst said cord runs becomes fully supported therefrom due to deflection in a central region of the cord run, causing further stretching thereof with tension increased beyond the undeployed tension, each adjacent pair of said cord runs engaging the microphone in one of two modes having opposite directions of cord deflection: a first mode, for relatively large microphone regions, wherein-the cord deflection is outwardly, spreading the adjacent pair apart, and a second mode, for relatively small microphone regions, wherein the cord deflection is inwardly, extending across the central axis and sufficiently beyond, such that deployment causes two crossings of the adjacent pair of cord runs, one crossing on each opposite side of the microphone.
2. The shock mount system as defined in
a first pair of said elastic cord runs that, in absence of a supported microphone, are made to be substantially parallel to each other and disposed symmetrically offset from the central axis near a first end of said shell;
a second pair of said elastic cord runs that, in absence of a supported microphone, are made substantially parallel to each other and disposed symmetrically offset from the central axis near a second end of said shell opposite the first end.
3. The shock mount as defined in
4. The shock mount as defined in
5. The shock mount as defined in
The present invention relates to the field of audio/acoustic technology and more particularly it relates to a system for shock-mounting a microphone that is to be deployed at the end of a boom or on a stand.
Microphones are usually made with some degree of internal shock mounting, often with the assumption that they may be hand-held. Where a microphone is attached solidly to a boom or stand, further shock-mounting may still be required to isolate against unwanted environmental noise conducted through the mounting, e.g. floor or other building structure vibration from heavy vehicles operating nearby, or direct impacts to the boom or stand
U.S. Pat. No. 4,194,096 to Ramsey discloses a MICROPHONE SHOCK MOUNT AND ASSEMBLY utilizing a pair of flat closed bands of elastomer material at each end of the assembly extending transversely around lower and upper frames of the assembly which are hinged together along one side to receive the microphone.
U.S. Pat. No. 4,514,598 to Plice discloses a MICROPHONE SHOCK-MOUNTING APPARATUS comprising a cradle that flexes when opening to receive the microphone then closes around the microphone body to hold it in place.
It is a primary object of the present invention to provide a microphone shock-mounting system of simple structure to isolate a stand- or boom-mounted microphone from noise that would otherwise be transmitted by the rigidly attached stand or boom.
It is a further object that a microphone suitable for handheld operation can be very easily mounted to and removed from the shock-mounting system without disconnecting the microphone cable.
It is a further object to make the shock mount system easy to manufacture from readily available materials, and to include hardware for attachment to conventional microphone stands and booms.
The aforementioned objects have been met by the invention of a microphone shock-mount system in which the main element is an outer tubular shell substantially greater in diameter and shorter in length than a typical microphone. The tubular shell is fitted externally with a swivel adaptor for attachment to a regular microphone boom or stand, and internally with several runs of readily available stretch-cord extending diametrically across the tubular shell member in a special offset configuration that accommodates microphones of various sizes and shapes.
A typical microphone with cable attached can be retained in a concentric location within the tubular member by inserting the free end of the microphone to engage opposed pairs of the stretch-cord runs. For a larger microphone or a larger portion of a microphone the stretch-cord runs are simply deflected near their center region to spread apart as required to accept the microphone. For a small diameter microphone or portion thereof, at least one adjacent pair of stretch-cord runs are deflected in their central region in a manner to cris-cross each other, forming a double-X pattern that stretches the elastic cord and retains the microphone securely.
The microphone shock-mount system of the present invention features convenient installation and removal of a microphone and provides resilient cushioning for isolation against stock, while supporting the microphone securely.
The above and further objects, features and advantages of the present invention will be more fully understood from the following description taken with the accompanying drawings in which:
FIG. 1 is a perspective view showing a microphone shock-mount of the present invention deployed on an extension shaft of a microphone stand, holding a microphone in shock-mounted manner.
FIG. 2 is a front elevation view of the microphone shock mount of
FIG. 1 showing the location of the front pair of stretch cords.
FIG. 3 is a bottom view of the tubular surround shell of the microphone shock mount of FIG. 2.
FIG. 4 is a top view of the microphone shock mount of FIG. 2.
FIG. 5 is a front view of the microphone shock mount of FIG. 2 but with the microphone removed.
FIG. 6 is a perspective view of an alternative embodiment of the invention.
FIG. 1 is a perspective view showing a microphone shock-mount 10 illustrating a preferred embodiment of the present, invention. Microphone 12 is suspended resiliently within a tubular surround shell 14 by a stretched round elastic cord 16. Shell 14 is mounted to an extension shaft 18 of a microphone stand or boom via a swivel microphone stand adaptor 20 having an upper channel flange portion 20A attached to shell 14 by a bolt 22 and a lower portion threadedly attached to shaft 18, locked in place by a knurled lock nut 24.
This particular horizontal orientation for microphone 12 and vertical direction for shaft 18 is arbitrary and shown only as a basic example. As a boom or boom extension, shaft 18 could run in virtually any direction, and the orientation of microphone 16 would depend on its directivity and the location of the sound source. Some elongate microphones are intended to be operated in a vertical orientation: the purpose of swivel adaptor is to provide a wide range of adjustment to accommodate such variations.
Elastic cord 16 is laced through holes provided in shell 14 so that inside, the cord 16 traverses shell 14 in four substantially diametric cord runs: 16A-16D, Each pair of cord runs 16A,B and 16C,D is crisscrossed in two places as shown to suspend microphone 12 in a resilient shock-mounted manner that isolates microphone 12 from noise and/or vibrations picked up from the floor and from other disturbances that could reach shaft 18, e.g. via the microphone stand or boom.
FIG. 2 is a front elevation view of the microphone shock mount 10 showing the location of the front pair of stretch cords. 16A and 16B cris-crossed as shown to support microphone 12 in a central axis region of shell 14. For microphones or portions thereof having relatively small diameter, cri-crossing each pair of cord runs in this manner retains the microphone 12 centered in place more accurately and securely than if the pairs were merely co-located at their ends such that they could not be cris-crossed in the manner shown. Much larger microphones or microphone portions may be supported without cris-crossing the stretch-cords.
The elastic cord 18 is laced through eight holes drilled in shell 16 that are located in a manner that provides four parallel runs: a pair near each end of shell 16 running substantially diametrically across in the absence of a microphone (see FIG. 5).
The upper portion 20A of swivel adaptor 20 is attached to shell 14 by a machine bolt 22 engaging a nut 26 located inside the shell 14 at the bottom region.
FIG. 3 is a bottom view of the shell 14 with the adapter 20 removed; the location of the upper portion of the swivel adaptor is shown in the dashed outline 20A.
The two ends of elastic cord 16 are shown seized together by three fasteners 16E which may be crimped metal clips or equivalent. Alternatively the two ends of cord 16 could be tied together, or seized together in some other manner. The fastened ends become substantially concealed by the upper portion 20A of swivel adaptor 20.
FIG. 4 is a top view of the shell 14 of FIGS. 2 and 5, showing the two parallel transverse runs of elastic cord 16 on the top surface, each laced through holes provided in shell 14.
FIG. 5 depicts the subject matter of FIG. 2 but with the microphone removed, showing the two parallel vertical cord runs 16A and 16B spanning the diameter of shell 14 vertically. The total cord length is made such that under this condition the cord runs are only slightly stretched and thus are under relatively weak tension.
FIG. 6 is a perspective view depicting an alternative embodiment of the invention utilizing only a total of three stretch cord runs: 16A, 16B and 16C arranged in a staggered pattern and stretched horizontally across shell 14, laced through holes in shell 14 as shown and secured at each by a retaining ring 16F, or a functionally equivalent stop knot.
When the microphone 12 is installed as shown, the elastic cord runs are alternately opposed and form the double-X pattern of the present invention as described above; runs 16A and 16B are adjacent and opposed, similarly runs 16B and 16C are adjacent and opposed. The deployment of two end runs (16A and 16C) under the microphone 12 with the single central run (16C) on the top compensates for the weight of the microphone 12 by providing double tension on the underside. As with the previously described embodiment, larger microphones can be accommodated and supported by simply inserting the microphone by deflecting the stretch-cords apart rather than to the cris-crossed condition.
The shell 14, in the embodiments shown, is made from a 2 ⅜ inch length of molded plastic tubing such as ABS or PVC with 3.5 inches outside diameter and 3 inches inside diameter, making the shell thickness 0.25″. The elastic cord 16 is a commercially available round "bungee" type cord about {fraction (3/16)} inch diameter with a woven fabric jacket: it is dimensioned to provide a moderate tension in the condition shown in FIG. 5 so that the increased tension caused by stretching cord 16 to insert a microphone 12 as shown in FIG. 2 is made sufficient to adequately support the microphone 12, and yet to be easily installed and removed.
Mounting adaptor 20 can be made from commercially available microphone hardware with minimal modification required only in the upper portion.
As an alternative to utilizing a single total length piece of stretch cord 16 to form the four cord runs, these may be formed from individual single lengths of cord, and may be anchored by a knot or other constraint affixed at each end of each run to bear against the outside surface of shell 14, the length being dimensioned to set up the desired tension.
As an alternative to making the cord 16 bear against the outer surface of shell 14, the runs could be end-attached to, or laced through eyes or equivalent fastenings suitably located around the inner surface of the shell 14.
As an alternative to the orthogonal directions of the elastic cord runs shown in FIGS. 1, 2 and 5 and in FIG. 6, the invention can be practiced with pairs of cords directed at any other designated angle or angles. The two pairs of elastic cord runs do not need to be parallel to each other as shown: each pair could be directed to any designated angle independent of the other pair.
The invention can be made and practiced utilizing any of numerous suitable metal or plastic materials for the structural parts such as shell 14 and mounting adaptor 20, and could be made and practiced in various forms, shapes, sizes other than those shown and described as illustrative embodiments.
The invention may be embodied and practiced in other specific forms without departing from the spirit and essential characteristics thereof. The present embodiments are therefore to be considered in all respects as illustrative and not restrictive, the scope of the invention being indicated by the appended claims rather than by the foregoing description; and all variations, substitutions and changes which come within the meaning and range of equivalency of the claims are therefore intended to be embraced therein.
