An improved vehicle rear-view mirror assembly of the type in which the mirror support arm is carried by means of at least one movable joint from the mounting part of the mirror assembly which is adapted to be secured to the bodywork of the vehicle includes a shroud of a resilient and flexible material mounted on the back of the mirror, and an extension having at least one movable joint with the end region of the extension in sealing relation with the mounting part, the extension enshrouded by a bellows-like tubular gaiter of flexible material. The shroud and the extension reduce the risk of injury to a person who may be accidentally hit by, or hit, the mirror assembly and the bellows-like gaiter also protects the movable joint or joints from dirt and moisture while readily flexing to allow the joint or joints to move or to be adjusted.

An orthopaedic hinge mechanism has a body with at least one pivot and at least one hinge arm mounted thereon and having two cam abutment stops which arise from the said hinge arm either side of and close to the pivot.Screw adjustment means are housed in threaded holes in the hinge body in the plane of the hinge arms and may be driven down to impinge on the cam abutment stops. The plane of the operating surfaces of the cam abutment stops is at right angles to the axis of the motion limiting screws. The mechanism provides limiting and locking possibilities over a clinically useful range.

A hip orthosis includes a hip engaging unit that can be secured to the contours of a human hip. An appendant orthotic member is formed to extend diagonally about and to be fixed to a human appendage. A connector assembly, with a support plate with a curved configuration at an anchor location to permit adjustment, interconnects the hip engaging member and the appendant member and includes an articulated joint member to control flexion, extension, abduction and adduction. The joint members can include an adjustable linkage system extending across and connected to both sides of the articulated joint. A first link member can be adjusted in length to control the movement of the articulated joint. An adjustable hinge member having a rotational axis which is offset by approximately 90° from a rotational axis of the articulate joint can be set to limit a range of flexion, while movement of the articulated joint provides either a controlled abduction or adduction movement Alternatively, the articulated joint can be formed by a roller and cam arrangement.

Methods and computer readable media generate a page file representing a compact disc label sheet having label blanks thereon for one or both of a compact disc case or a compact disc. The sheet may have a label for one or both of the compact disc case and the compact disc. The method provides such sheet, wherein the sheet supports the labels at any of a plurality of locations. The sheet with the labels supported at particular locations define a particular geometric layout configuration. One or more images may also be on the sheet. Operations of the method optically accent the particular configuration, and then scan the optically accented configuration to generate a digital representation of the sheet. All of the images are then excluded from the digital representation so that the remaining digital representation represents only the labels. The remaining digital representation is analyzed to determine the location on the sheet of the labels. A new page file is created to represent the compact disc label sheet having the labels. The page file includes data as to the location on the sheet of the labels. Using the method, and computer readable media having program instructions for performing the method, a user may buy such sheets for which the user's label printing software has no corresponding page file, yet the user need not manually measure the locations of the labels that are on the purchased new sheet to provide label location data, and the user need not enter any label location data into a page file provided by the software.

A surgical dressing adapted for fastening around orthopaedic fixator pins and similarly shaped surgical devices adjacent their sites of entry to and exit from the body, comprises a pad of resilient and absorbent material adapted to be folded around one or more fixator pins in apposition to the sites of entry and/or exit from the body; a friction member to be interposed between the pad and the fixator pins to inhibit movement of the pad along the fixator pins; and a clip adapted to be fastened around the fixator pins and at least a part of the resilient pad to clamp the pad in position around the pins.
摘要:
An orthopaedic and orthotic bi-pivotal hinge assembly having a hinge body and a pair of coplanar and independently-pivotal hinge arms. The proximal end portions of the hinge arms are disposed within the hinge body and have planar abutment surfaces that face in the same direction and are disposed immediately adjacent each other when the arms are in full extension. Continuously variable extension control is achieved by an adjuster screw carried by the hinge body that is engageable with both of said planar abutment surfaces of said arms.

Apparatus and method for implementation of an install system that provides for typical and custom installation and configuration of third party applications. The install system allows the user to choose between a typical or custom installation of third party applications. In typical installation, the install system creates a list of components to be installed. In the case of a custom installation, the install system collects and displays to the user all the parameters for the installation of the third party application. This allows the user to select those components from the component listing and creates a list of components to be installed. The install system also provides information to the user about each component available to be installed during the third party application installation process. This information provides the user with the ability to make an important decision as to whether or not to include particular components in a custom installation process.

An orthopedic hinge assembly for connecting an upper and lower portion of a brace, such as a knee brace, includes a hinge housing member with an abductor member movably mounted on the housing member. A pair of adjuster members are also mounted to the housing member and a stop member attached to the abductor member extends through arcuate apertures on the adjuster members. The adjuster members can have outer indentations and manually operable fastener assembly can fix or release the respective adjuster members so that they can be set to a desired position to define the limits of movement of the abductor member and thereby control flexion and extension of the patient's leg.
摘要:
A true bipivotal hinge for orthopaedic use having a hinge body and a pair of hinge arms with adjacent end portions pivotally connected to the side walls of the body for independent pivotal movement of each arm. A T-shaped insert element is removably secured within the hinge body and has a pair of stop portions with abutment surfaces engagable with the end portions of the arms for limiting the degree of extension of such arms. In a system for accommodating such a hinge to a patient's needs, a plurality of insert elements are provided, each being of substantially the same size and shape but having distinctive angularity of their abutment surfaces so that by interchanging one insert element for another, the hinge may be adjusted to provide the required degree of maximum arm extension.
摘要:
An orthopedic and orthotic bipivotal hinge assembly having a hinge body and a pair of coplanar and independently-pivotal hinge arms. The proximal end portions of the hinge arms are disposed within the hinge body and have at least one set of interdigitating end plates defining an arrangement of abutment surfaces that are coplanar with each other, face generally in the same direction, and are disposed in side-by-side relation, when the arms are in first positions of adjustment (e.g., extension). In one embodiment, a single set of interdigitating plates with one such arrangement of abutment surfaces is provided; in a second embodiment two sets of interdigitating plates with two arrangements of abutment surfaces for controlling both extension and flexion are provided. Continuously variable extension and/or flexion control is achieved by an adjusting screw, or a pair of adjusting screws, carried by the hinge body.
