An assembly for use in orthopaedic surgery, comprises a component (2, 34, 50) which is to be positioned within a body cavity to engage a bone. The component comprises a hollow shell which is open on one side to allow access to its interior and has a fastening formation (10, 12, 14, 16, 18, 20, 60) within it. The assembly includes a manipulator (36, 52) having a clasp (62) for engaging the fastening formation so as to fasten the component to the manipulator. The portion of the formation which is engaged by the clasp is located within the shell so that, when the component is fastened to the manipulator, the clasp is located at least partially within the shell.
摘要:
The present invention comprises an improved extruder die assembly and method for using same to improve the quality of dimensional design aspects of extruded, complexly shaped, direct expanded food products. The improved system includes an improved die assembly comprising a first die and a second die having at least one orifice. A majority of the total pressure drop occurs in the first die to pre-expand the dough prior to the dough entering the second die. The orifices in the first die can be individually configured to obtain differing dough flow speeds resulting in a desired flow pattern. A plurality of extruded dough ropes formed at each orifice exit of the first die can meld together in the bore and exit the second die. Color or flavor can be added at the first die to enhance the food product.
