Abstract: A positioning block (10) for use in total knee replacement surgery, permitting five degrees-of-freedom movement relative to a bone element (39) to which it is fixed. The positioning block (10) comprises a rotational mounting element (14) that is removably engaged to the bone element such that the mounting element (14) is selectively rotatable relative to the bone element, about three substantially perpendicular axes of rotation. A guide body portion (12) is engaged with the mounting element (14) such that it is translatable relative thereto along a proximal-distal axis (43) and an anterior-posterior axis (47), while being rotationally fixed relative to the mounting element (14) such that the guide body portion (12) and the mounting element (14) rotate together relative to the bone element (39).

Abstract: The invention relates to a bipolar plate for a fuel cell, the plate being made up of two half-plates assembled one against the other via their inside faces, each half-plate including in its inside face at least a first groove and a second groove that are spaced apart from each other. The bottoms of said grooves each presenting a plurality of orifices distributed along each groove and opening out into the outside face of the half-plate. The outside face of each half-plate includes a plurality of distribution channels, each distribution channel connecting a respective orifice of the first groove to a respective orifice of the second groove.

Abstract: The tank for storing gas at high pressure, such as a tank for a vehicle running on gas, comprises a confinement volume accessible via coupling means and defined by a duct disposed in a spiral coil so that the substantially rectilinear main portions of the duct bear against one another. The forces exerted by the pressure of the gas on the main portions of a turn of the duct are then compensated by the forces exerted on the adjacent turns of the duct.
