Abstract:
A surgical instrument is provided for engaging a bony part of the human body and guiding a drill bit into a specific location in the bony part comprising, in combination, a pair of lever arms pivotably attached at a point intermediate their ends; locking means for locking the arms together in a fixed position with respect to each other; means on each arm on the same side of the pivot attachment for manipulating the arms in a swinging movement about the pivot; each arm on the other side of the pivot attachment being shaped so that the pair of arms can embrace the bony part during an operation; one of the arms carrying on one end on said other side a guide head having at least one through passage to guide a drill bit and the other arm carrying at one end on the said side an engagement head, the inner facing surfaces of the guide head and engagement head being shaped to fixedly engage said bony part, the through passage in the guide head being aligned along an axis which in the operating position of the instrument with the guide head and the engagement head engaging said bony part is directed towards and within the dimensions of the engagement head, so as to direct the drill bit to the selected specific location in the bony part.
Abstract:
A tool of the nature of scissors, tongs, pliers or pincers is provided having a pair of lever arms pivotably attached together by a pivot pin, each having holder means at one end and tool-functional means at the other end on opposite sides of the pivot pin, for pivotable manipulative engaging movement of the tool-functional means by the holder means, comprising first and second lever arms, the first lever arm having a through slot receiving the second lever arm; the second lever arm having a central portion extending within the slot and a pivot pin immovably fixed to and extending through the central portion thereof and projecting outwardly on each side of the central portion; the projecting portions of the pivot pin defining pivot points for the pin; the pivot points of the pivot pin being cold-pressed into the walls of the first pivot arm within the slot, thereby defining in the walls cold-formed pivot sockets conforming in shape to the pivot point in a manner to pivotably mount the second lever arm on the first lever arm in the slot, for free pivoting movement with respect thereto guided and constrained by the walls of the slot.A process is also provided for assembling such a tool, first inserting the second lever arm into the through slot of the first lever arm, and then cold-pressing the walls of the slot inwardly against the pivot points of the pivot pin so as to force the pivot points into the walls of the slot, and define the pivot sockets therein.

Abstract:
Embodiments are disclosed for adjusting alignment of a near-eye optic of a see-through head-mounted display system. In one embodiment, a method of detecting eye location for a head-mounted display system includes directing positioning light to an eye of a user and detecting the positioning light reflected from the eye of the user. The method further includes determining a distance between the eye and a near-eye optic of the head-mounted display system based on attributes of the detected positioning light, and providing feedback for adjusting the distance between the eye and the near-eye optic.
Abstract:
Performing primitive composition within a user interface thread, enhancing the ability to scale a user interface framework to computing devices having limited resources. In one or more embodiments, a user interface thread walks a user interface hierarchy that describes elements of a program's user interface and directly generates static Graphics Processing Unit (GPU) data structures representing at least a portion of the user interface hierarchy. The user interface thread passes the static GPU data structures to a composition thread, which uses these static GPU data structures during generation of a plurality of video frames. This includes the composition thread, based on the static GPU data structures, sending GPU data and GPU commands for the plurality of video frames to a GPU for rendering.
Abstract:
In the preparation of accounting data for transactions involving money on at least one money transfer system, in particular on an automated teller machine, data is exchanged using the so-called SWIFT code, for example. The management system normally produces the accounting data in a standard form for all transaction following a format such as this. For flexible preparation of accounting data for different financial institutes, it is now proposed that the system comprise a conversion device (PTSIA) which is connected to the management system (CCMS) in order to prepare the accounting data in different ways for different financial institutes (B1, B2, . . . ) through the conversion device (PTSIA) for the respective financial institute (B1) converting the first accounting data items (D-IN) into second accounting data items as a function of presets (TMPL), wherein the presets (TMPL) indicate at least one format (DTA) desired by the financial institute (B1) for the second accounting data items (D-OUT).
Abstract:
The reference air channel of a gas sensor or a lambda probe having a laminate body produced by printing technology is provided. The laminate body is produced by printing a suitably structured layer onto a neighboring layer, for example, by screen printing.
Abstract:
The present invention relates to an arc-quenching device for circuit breakers having double-break contacts for use in low-voltage distribution systems. Provided around a prechamber (41) is a magnetic shield (91) for the purpose of intensifying the magnetic blowing action on an arc formed between the arc guide rails (51, 61) of the prechamber. In addition, a blowing loop (81) is inserted in the arc-quenching circuit and extends in sections parallel to an arc guide rail (61). Prechamber insulation having a bulge constricting the arc area likewise serves the purpose of optimizing the arc run.
Abstract:
An apparatus for supporting a substrate is described that has a ball adapted to minimize damage between the substrate support and the substrate supported thereon. In one embodiment, an apparatus for supporting a substrate includes ball disposed on an inclined ball support surface. The ball support surface is adapted to bias the ball toward one side of the ball support surface thereby providing space for the ball to roll as the substrate supported thereon changes in length when exposed to thermal influences. In another embodiment, the apparatus further comprises a cage adapted to capture the ball to the ball support surface.
Abstract:
A media integration layer including an application programming interface (API) and an object model allows program code developers to interface in a consistent manner with a scene graph data structure in order to output graphics. Via the interfaces, program code adds child visuals to other visuals to build up a hierarchical scene graph, writes Instruction Lists such as geometry data, image data, animation data and other data for output, and may specify transform, clipping and opacity properties on visuals. The media integration layer and API enable programmers to accomplish composition effects within their applications in a straightforward manner, while leveraging the graphics processing unit in a manner that does not adversely impact normal application performance. A multiple-level system includes the ability to combine different media types (such as 2D, 3D, Video, Audio, text and imaging) and animate them smoothly and seamlessly.
