摘要： Methods and systems for controlling the operation of a tool are provided. These methods and systems may be used to control the operation of any tool, for example, a drill or a saw. The methods and systems employ at least one sensor to detect at least one operational parameter of the tool, for example, drill speed or acceleration. Instrumentation is used to process the data representing the parameter to determine characteristic values of the parameter, for example, amplitudes and frequencies. These characteristic values are used to control the operation of the tool, to determine one or more properties of the material being acted on by the tool, or to monitor the condition of the tool. Though aspects of the invention may be applied to a broad range of tools and machining processes, in one aspect, the methods and systems are used to monitor and control the operation of a surgical drilling process, for example, for the drilling of bone.

摘要： An iontophoretic drug delivery device storage apparatus and a method of using that device is disclosed. The device comprises a fluid reservoir, an electrode assembly and a tray apparatus. The fluid reservoir is capable of retaining a medicament and has a sealed fluid chamber defined by at least one seal. The seal includes a weaker region and a pinch-like configuration associated with that region such that application of pressure to the fluid reservoir breaks the weaker region of the seal, releasing the retained medicament. The electrode assembly comprises an active electrode, at least two passive electrodes a medicament carrying region, and a moat region around the medicament carrying region so that once fluid is delivered from the fluid reservoir to the electrode assembly the fluid is substantially retained in the medicament carrying means.
