    摘要: A device and method for achieving load-bearing living-tissue-to-living-tissue coupling comprises a myriad of fine fibers extending directly from within the substance of one tissue to within the substance of the other tissue. Fibers are similar in cross-sectional area to, or smaller than, host tissue cells. This enables fibers to provide a scaffolding into which proliferating cells of each tissue may grow to form a collagenous matrix enveloping individual fibers and transferring mechanical loads between each tissue's extracellular matrix and the fibers. Also taught are devices and methods (1) for delivering bundles of independent fibers into soft or hard tissue, (2) for transiently reducing tissue drag during insertion, (3) for temporarily stabilizing position during tissue ingrowth, and (4) for spatial distribution of fiber bending stress in the event of a hard tissue.

    摘要: The corrosion monitor system facilitates the detection and monitoring of material corrosion in remote areas. Sensors, which react to a corrosive environment similar to the material to be monitored, are placed in isolated areas and connected to a central control system via shielded cables. The system consists of a controller board, multiple dual preamp boards, a battery pack, sensors, and corresponding cables. The controller board consists of a microcontroller, memory, data conversion, and other control circuits. The dual preamp boards contain multiple precision instrumentation amplifiers, filtering, and voltage conversion circuits. The system operates on the principal that corrosion of a metallic conductor will cause a corresponding increase in the cross-sectional electrical resistance of that conductor. This change in resistance can be detected and monitored by passing a known constant current through the conductor and comparing the voltage across the conductor with that of a controlled reference conductor. The reference conductor is not exposed to the corrosive environment. As the sample conductor corrodes, small increases in the voltage across the element are measured with respect to the reference material. The resultant signals are multiplied and filtered to a detectable level and processed by the controller as data points stored in memory.
