A plurality of differently configured bone spinal implants for insertion in a spine have a cylindrical bore for receiving an insertion head stud. A plurality of instruments are disclosed each of which have a first connection element which is either a male or female member such as e.g., a ball and socket, a cylinder and socket and so on for forming either a stationary or articulating interchangeable joint for a plurality of disc processing heads or implant insertion heads. The plurality of disc space processing heads or implant insertion heads have a complementary second joint member for interchangeable attachment to the first connection element. The implant insertion heads or disc processing heads have different configurations for different shaped implants. Different instrument insertion or disc processing heads such as implant inserters, impactors, rasps, distractors, curettes, rongeur, and so on are disclosed as being interchangeable with a common instrument in which articulating or fixed joints are provided the interchangeable heads.
摘要:
Intervertebral implant system for intervertebral implantation, are disclosed. An intervertebral implant system according to the present disclosure includes a frame having a peripheral wall defining a space therein, and a settable material introducible into the space of the frame. The settable material is a biocompatible load bearing material including and not limited to bone, composites, polymers of bone growth material, collagen, and insoluble collagen derivatives. The settable material is injectable into the space defined by the frame. The settable material may have an initial fluid condition wherein the fluid settable material cures to a hardened condition.

The invention relates to a control cabinet monitoring device, comprising a control device which is connected via a field bus to various sensors and/or actuators for monitoring and controlling various control cabinet functions, such as climate control, moisture control and access control. Flexible adaptation possibilities for different applications of control cabinets are offered in that at least one part of the sensors and/or actuators are direct connection sensors and/or direct connection actuators, each having a dedicated bus coupling circuit and being coupled by same to the field bus, and the control device has an initialization unit or can be connected to such a unit, via which the direct connection sensors and/or the direct connection actuators can be initialized before startup and automatically addressed and are subsequently connected via the control device for the exchange of data for operating purposes on the basis of individually allocated addresses.

摘要:
Mixed-signal tester architecture and methods are provided which minimize transfer of data, offer parallel data post-processing within the analog channels, and allow flexible synchronization. Multiple analog channels each have a source digital signal processor (DSP), a digital source sequencer, digital source instrumentation, analog source instrumentation, analog measure instrumentation, digital measure instrumentation, a digital pin multiplexer, a digital measure sequencer, DSP-addressable multi-bank capture memory, a capture digital signal processor, and an inter-DSP feedback path for communication between the source DSP and the capture DSP. Each analog channel can be arranged in a feedback loop through either its analog and/or digital instrumentation using the inter-DSP feedback path. DUT response is processed in the channel, the result is used to define parameters for a subsequent test cycle, and a signal corresponding to these parameters is generated and applied to the DUT. This loop-back of the result of a test cycle within the analog channel to define the next test cycle speeds up the test process. The source DSP can synthesize signals in real time and apply these to the DUT through analog or digital source instrumentation, and can synthesize source sequencer memory addresses (pointers to waveform-data stored in memory which represent waveforms or waveform segments) in real time and apply these signals to the DUT through analog or digital source instrumentation. DUT response is written to capture-memory in the channel which is directly addressable by the capture DSP, avoiding transfer of data before processing and further speeding the test process. Multi-bank capture memory controlled by the capture DSP allows data representing DUT response to be written into one bank while previously-written data in another bank is processed. This interleaving of data capture and data processing allows simultaneous capture and processing, further speeding the test process.
