    摘要: A medical cross connector, a corresponding matching torque wrench, and a corresponding medical product set that includes the medical cross connector in combination with at least one bone implant and/or other matching surgical accessory. The medical cross connector includes a cross strut for connecting two longitudinal rods that can be brought into operative engagement for orientation of vertebrae of a spinal column, and at least one clamping head mounted pivotably on the cross strut in an angular bearing. The clamping head has a rod receptacle and a clamping screw. A clamping tooth applies a clamping force to one of the longitudinal rods when the rod is inserted into the rod receptacle. The clamping tooth is mounted pivotably about a pivot axis via a floating bearing. The floating bearing permits a pivoting movement and a lateral movement of the pivot axis of the clamping tooth.

    摘要: Systems, methods, and non-transitory computer readable mediums including processes to correct for distortion in images introduced by eyewear (i.e., where the facial region surrounding the eye has a boundary that doesn't match the boundary of an uncovered facial region). The correction includes segmenting images to detect eyewear covered facial regions and facial regions not covered by the eyewear and altering the covered facial regions to match the covered facial boundary to the uncovered facial boundary. Alterations include processing using a machine learning model, applying anti-refraction algorithms, scaling the covered facial region to match boundaries of the uncovered facial region, or a combination thereof.

    摘要: An oxygenator unit adapted for the use in an extracorporeal blood treatment device. The oxygenator unit includes an oxygenator having a gas inlet and a supply line for conducting a gas provided at the gas inlet, the supply line being connectable to a source of a pressurized gas containing oxygen, wherein the oxygenator unit further includes a pressure relief valve provided in the supply line upstream of the oxygenator, the pressure relief valve being adapted to release pressure exceeding a predetermined pressure value from the supply line, thereby preventing a critical overpressure in the oxygenator.

    摘要: A power supply unit for a surgical instrument operated by an electric motor includes a battery-receiving housing separate and spaced apart from the surgical instrument. A fastening means or retainer fastens or retains the power supply unit to a body part of an operator. At least one power supply unit supplies power to at least one motor system. A control and monitoring device performs and/or monitors at least one function. A cable connection connects a cable for electrically coupling the power supply unit to a surgical instrument for operating the motor system thereof and/or for transmitting data and/or operating parameters.

    摘要: A compact projector for eyewear including a refractive lens to achromatize an image and to reduce the size of the projector. The compact projector includes two total internal reflection (TIR) prisms, a polarizing beamsplitter, a quarter-wave plate, and the refractive lens combining refractive and reflective power, referred to as catadioptric. In one example, a light source generates light that is directed through a collector, into a first TIR prism, to the polarizing beamsplitter, and to a display panel. The display panel modulates the light and creates an image. The image is directed through the beamsplitter, into a second TIR prism, through a quarter-wave plate, and then to the refractive lens. The refractive lens reflects the image back into the second TIR prism, and which image then exits to a waveguide. In a second example, the display generates an illuminated image which is then processed as in the first example.
