摘要:
A knee prosthetic including a tibial component defining medial and lateral concavities shaped to receive medial and lateral femoral condyles of the femur. The concavities have first portions for contact with the condyles during normal knee flexion and second portions for contact with the condyles during deep, or high, knee flexion. The medial concavity can include a conforming boundary that encompasses at least the first and second portions, wherein an area inside the conforming boundary has a generally flat surface. The flat surface allows the medial femoral condyle to slide and rotate posteriorly during high knee flexion. The conforming boundary can have a generally triangular shape with an apex extending anteriorly and a relatively wider base extending posteriorly, wherein the apex includes the first portion and the base includes the second portion. The relatively wider base portion advantageously allows additional area for posteriorly directed articulating contact during high knee flexion.
摘要:
A femoral caliper having one or more anatomical referencing members for placement against portions of the femur, such as the anterior cortex and posterior portion of the femoral condyles, to measure the femur for sizing of the femoral component. A reference mark positioning guide of the femoral caliper is connected to the anatomical referencing member and is capable of guiding placement of a reference mark on the femur that facilitates positioning of the femoral component. The femoral caliper includes an adjustment mechanism capable of displacing the reference mark positioning guide relative to the anatomical referencing member. This allows adjustment of the position of the reference mark (and hence the femoral component) on the femur to account for the up or down sizing of the femoral component. Preferably, the adjustment mechanism adjusts the reference mark positioning guide in the anterior-posterior direction to allow balancing of the tightness or laxity of the selected component.

Multiple information is extracted from an unknown recording and information associated therewith. Associated information includes the filename, if the recording is a computer file in, e.g., MP3 format, or table of contents (TOC) data, if the recording is on a removable medium, such as a compact disc. At least one and preferably several algorithmically determined fingerprints are extracted from the recording using one or more fingerprint extraction methods. The information extracted is compared with corresponding information in a database maintained for reference recordings. Identification starts with the most accurate and efficient method available, e.g., using a hash ID, a unique ID or text. Fingerprint matching is used to confirm other matches and validation is performed by comparing the duration of the unknown and a possibly matching reference recording.
摘要:
An improved process for producing ceramic thick film array elements is provided. In this regard, ceramic elements are formed on a temporary, or printing, substrate by screen printing or other forming methods. The temporary, or printing, substrate is advantageously provided with a release layer. This makes it possible to release the printed and soft-baked ceramic elements from the temporary substrate and transfer the ceramic elements to the sintering substrate. The contemplated release technique takes advantage of the phase transition of a liquid, e.g. water, to transfer the elements to a sintering substrate. After sintering and electrode deposition, the ceramic element array is bonded to a target substrate. Then, the sintering substrate is removed to make the array available for implementation in a variety of suitable environments.

A method, apparatus, system, and signal-bearing medium that in an embodiment select a simulator input fragment, characterize an I/O model using a set of simulator input fragments, create a set of behavioral models based on the characterization and compare the set of behavioral models to the I/O model. In an embodiment, the set of behavioral models is compared to the I/O model by creating simulator input decks that include net topology for the I/O model and the set of behavioral models, simulating the decks, and comparing the output from the simulating.

A method, apparatus and program product generate package files that are separately stored and selectively combined to generate a net file suited for system simulation and analysis. Selective combination of the package files using respective reference connections of each package enables focused and efficient modeling of design performance characteristics.

An aircraft modal suppression system which recognizes that the frequency and phase of the body bending mode varies when the weight of the aircraft differs from the design gross weight. An active damper notch filter which is tabulated as a function of aircraft gross weight is utilized, thereby enabling not only the frequency, but also the width and depth of the notch filter to vary according to the gross weight of the aircraft.

This invention provides compositions and methods for identification of carriers of Hereditary Equine Regional Dermal Asthenia (HERDA) in equine species. In particular, this invention identifies a single nucleotide polymorphorism (SNP) in cyclophlin B that can be used to identify carriers of HERDA and individuals affected by HERDA.
