    摘要: Unicompartmental tibial components are described herein. A first unicompartmental component (10) comprises a plate (12) having a bearing surface (18) and an opposing surface (22) that is configured to be secured to a proximal end of a patient's tibia, wherein the plate further comprises an anterior end (24), an outer side (25), a posterior end (26) and an inner side (27), wherein a mediolateral width W of the plate is defined between the outer and inner sides, and a longitudinal anteroposterior axis (28) extends between the anterior and posterior ends approximately one third of the width of the plate (i.e. 1/3 W) from the lateral side, and defines a longitudinal axis length L of the plate. A first elongate peg (14) protrudes from the opposing surface in the anterior portion, the first elongate peg defining a first peg axis (32). A second elongate peg (16) protrudes from the opposing surface in the anterior portion, the second elongate peg defining a second peg axis (34). The first and second peg axes are disposed at an angle of 45-70 degrees with respect to the longitudinal anteroposterior axis and are substantially parallel to one another such that the first and second pegs protrude posteriorly as well as distally with respect to the plate. An anterior portion of the plate comprises a part of the plate defined by an anterior 60% or less of the longitudinal axis length L, whilst a posterior portion of the plate comprises a part of the plate that is defined by the remaining posterior 40% or more of the longitudinal axis length L. The posterior portion of the opposing surface is free from pegs or other fixation devices, and the first and second elongate pegs are located more than half of the mediolateral width W of the plate from an outer edge of the plate. The component is configured for cementless fixation using an interference fit. Also described is a method of installation and a tool suitable for use in installation.

    摘要: A ligament assembly (2) comprising a resilient element (20) connected to a bone anchor (4) and a ligament (18), the resilient element (20) acting m a cantilever and resisting toads transmitted between the bone anchor (4) and the ligament (18) by virtue of the resistance to bending of the resilient element. The ligament (18) may comprise an artificial ligament (18) which is adapted to replace a human or animal ligament. The resilient element (20) may comprise a spiral spring and may act as a biasing element/shock absorber operatively coupled to the artificial ligament (18) to control the effective stiffness of the artificial ligament (18). Consequently, the resilient element (20) enables an effective stiffness of the artificial ligament (18) to be achieved that more closely approximates the stiffness of a natural ligament.

    摘要: Disclosed is a pivotable signpost support device. The device includes a signpost support that is vertically aligned with a ground post support, wherein the signpost support is disposed above the ground post support that is affixed to a ground post. The signpost support and the ground post support are secured between first vertical support and a second vertical support. The signpost support is pivotally secured to the first and second vertical supports by means of a pivot bolt having a die spring at an end thereof, so that it can pivot forward and backward relative to the first and second vertical supports. The pivot bolt can tighten the die spring so as to keep the signpost support in an upright position but allowing the signpost support to fall into a collapsed position.

    摘要: The present invention provides a method of predicting pregnancy outcome in a subject by determining the amount of an early pregnancy associated molecular isoform of hCG in a sample. The present invention further provides a method for determining the amount of early pregnancy associated molecular isoforms of human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG) in a sample. The present invention also provides a diagnostic kit for determining the amount of early pregnancy associated hCG in a sample. The present invention additionally provides an antibody which specifically binds to an early pregnancy associated molecular isoform of human chorionic gonadotropin. Finally, the present invention provides methods for detecting trophoblast or non-trophoblast malignancy in a sample.

    摘要: A cooling system for an electronics chassis includes a plurality of centrifugal blowers arranged to motivate cooling air through the electronics chassis. The centrifugal blowers are arranged in one or more sets, each having blowers oriented with respective inlets in mutual facing relationship. The orientation, positioning, and alignment of the centrifugal blowers facilitates a compact arrangement of the plurality of blowers that achieves increased aerodynamic efficiencies to reduce noise output and energy consumption.
