Abstract: The invention relates to a device for replacing vertebral bones. The device includes an interior hollow body and an exterior hollow body. These hollow bodies can slide into each other coaxially along a central axis and can be moved in relation to one another in the direction of the central axis. The interior hollow body is provided with a catch mechanism on its outer surface. The exterior hollow body includes a hole or bore extending along the central axis. The exterior hollow body also includes at least one elastic element that projects into the bore at its top end. This reduces the diameter of the bore so that the elastic element latches onto the catch mechanism of the interior hollow body, thereby fixing the length of the device in such a way that it is resistant to compression.

Abstract: A multi-carrier transmission system, such as a DMT system. A receiver must be able to recover a sampling clock that is very accurately synchronized to a transmitter sampling clock. Typically, synchronization is achieved by using a reserved carrier, the pilot carrier, which is transmitted with a fixed phase. The receiver sampling clock is then phase locked to the pilot carrier. Frame timing can be recovered by using a correlation technique. Thus an improved method of recovering a sample clock and phase locking the sampling clock to a pilot carrier is provided.

Abstract: Stereospecific catalysts and processes for the stereotactic polymerization of ethylenically unsaturated monomers, specifically C3-C4 alpha olefins involving a molecular sieve supported metallocene catalyst comprising a stereospecific metallocene catalyst component and a co-catalyst component. The metallocene catalyst component incorporates a metallocene ligand structure having two sterically dissimilar cyclopentadienyl ring structures coordinated with the central transition metal atom. Both the metallocene catalyst component and the co-catalyst component are supported on a molecular sieve having an average effective pore size which is less than the kinetic diameter of at least one of said ring structures. This supported catalyst is contacted in a polymerization reaction zone with an ethylenically unsaturated monomer which contains 3 or more carbon atoms or which is a substituted vinyl compound under polymerization conditions to produce stereospecific polymerization of the monomer. The supported catalyst incorporates a molecular sieve support having an average effective pore size within the range of 5-10 angstroms. The metallocene component can be an unbalanced metallocene having a ligand structure in which stereorigidity is imparted by means of a structural bridge extending between dissimilar cyclopentadienyl groups, for example, a fluorenyl group, a cyclopentadienyl group, of a ligand which exhibits bilateral symmetry. The specific zeolite supports are zeolite Y, zeolite X, mordenite, and zeolite  beta . Others include various zeolites of the ZSM substitutional series, including ZSM-5, ZSM-11, and ZSM-12.

Abstract: A method and a device for continuous or semi-continuous casting of metal. A primary flow (P) of hot metallic melt supplied into a mold is acted upon by at least one static or periodically low-frequency magnetic field to brake and split the primary flow and form a controlled secondary flow pattern in the non-solidified parts of the cast strand. The magnetic flux density of the magnetic field is controlled based on casting conditions. The secondary flow (M, U, C1, C2, c3, c4, G1, G2, g3, g4, O1, O2, o3, o4) in the mold is monitored throughout the casting and upon detection of a change in the flow, information on the detected change monitored flow is fed into a control unit (44) where the change is evaluated and the magnetic flux density is regulated based on this evaluation to maintain or adjust the controlled secondary flow.
