摘要:
A light fixture includes first and second flexible materials coupled to first and second scrolling mechanisms that move the material in first and second directions to position a selected portion of the first and second flexible materials in first and second parts of a light beam from the fixture. A device coupled to the first and second mechanisms may move the first and second mechanisms in third and fourth directions so that third and fourth parts of the light beam do not pass through the first and second flexible materials. The third and fourth directions are different than the first and second directions. Different areas of the first and second flexible materials may produce different colors. The light fixture may also include a third scrolling mechanism coupled to a flexible diffusion material, to diffuse at least a part of the light beam by a predetermined amount.

An vehicle rooftop cooling system includes a radiator located outside of the engine compartment of a vehicle, the radiator having a liquid coolant inside the radiator; a fan coupled to the radiator and configured to extract hot air from the radiator; a first sensor proximate to the radiator configured to measure coolant temperature of the coolant in the radiator; and a controller communicably coupled to the first sensor, the controller configured to receive inputs from the first sensor, to make determinations based on the received inputs, and to communicate control signals across a controller area network (CAN) in response to said determinations, wherein the controller is further configured to communicate a first control signal to cool the liquid coolant upon determining that the first sensor has measured temperature above a threshold.
摘要:
A prosthetic joint kit, particularly well suited for an elbow, transmits load through the prosthetic joint through a pair of spherically shaped bearing surfaces so as to transmit load over a relatively large area rather than at a point or over a line of contact. The prosthetic joint kit may be configured in a modular manner wherein a plurality of interchangeable stem structures, bearing structures and/or bearing inserts of various types are available. Construction in this manner enables a surgeon to configure the prosthetic joint to best suit the needs of the patient. For example, the surgeon may employ a modular flange for compressing a bone graft, a tissue fastener for securing soft tissue to a portion of the prosthetic joint, a cam for limiting the amount by which the prosthetic joint articulates or a bearing insert for tailoring the degree of varus/valgus constraint.

摘要:
A system that provides a belt driven Power-Take-Off (“PTO”) mounting for a heavy-duty alternator onto a lighter duty automotive engine. The system provides additional torque support for the alternator and crankshaft pulley while allowing the alternator to pivot with engine movement on the motor mounts. A belt tensioner automatically tightens a serpentine drive belt. An alternator air intake and plenum draws cooling air through ducting from outside the engine compartment.
摘要:
An apparatus for passing a suture into a portion of the anatomy. The apparatus can include a handle and a suture advancement mechanism. The suture advancement mechanism can be disposed in the handle and adapted to advance a suture. The apparatus can also include a member coupled to the handle and in communication with the suture advancement mechanism to receive the suture. A cannula can be coupled to the member for receipt of the suture. The cannula can be operable to engage the anatomy. The suture advancement mechanism can contact the suture along a substantial distance of the suture to advance the suture into the member.
摘要:
An apparatus for repairing a separation in body tissue includes an elongated repair member having an intermediate portion extending between a first end and a second end. A first retaining portion is defined at the first end. A second retaining portion is defined at the second end. The elongated repair member is porous and adapted to allow vascularization through the body tissue while urging opposing portions of the separation together in an implanted position.
摘要:
A system and a method for supplying electrical energy to high-power vehicle braking resistors to generate heat for supplemental heating. Supplemental heat is transferred from the braking resistors to a desired use by means of circulating liquid or air, and heat exchangers at the desired location. The supplemental heat can be supplied external to the vehicle by circulating liquid or air and using appropriate external heat exchangers.
摘要:
An implantable interference screw for use in a soft tissue repair, the screw having a bioresorbable body comprising a plurality of interconnected pores, the body having an instrument interface in one end and a thread around an exterior of the body starting from distal end. The plurality of interconnected pores of the resorbable body are substantially filled with a bioresorbable polymer.
摘要:
A system for mounting and cooling energy storage cell canisters within a multi-cell energy storage module includes a plurality of inner interconnections to electrically connect the energy storage cell canisters end-to-end in strings of energy storage cell canisters; a plurality of bus bar interconnections to electrically connect the strings of energy storage cell canisters; and a plurality of cooling line separator inserts to position and support the plurality of inner interconnections for positioning and supporting the storage cell canisters.
