Abstract: An artificial disc implant includes an upper shell, a lower shell, and a spacer therebetween. The spacer preferably has properties similar to that of a natural spinal disc, while the upper and lower shells form a rigid interface between the implant and the adjacent vertebral bodies. The upper and lower shells can be configured to prevent expulsion of the spacer from the disc space. The implant upper and lower shells may further be configured into partially cylindrical shapes for ease of insertion through an insertion tube as presently known for interbody fusion devices. The devices may further be configured for insertion through a double-barreled insertion tube. Methods and instruments for inserting an artificial disc implant are also provided.

Abstract: Threads are wound onto a warping drum (3) at a constant winding tension by a warp creel (C) and via a deviating roller (1), forming a warp section (M). The increase in the winding diameter is preferably determined based on the ratio of rotations of the deviating roller and the warping drum. The advance of the coning slide is determined or continuously controlled or regulated after the first rotation of the warping drum according to the coning ratio and according to the current measured values of the increase in the winding diameter. The appropriate measured values are registered in a table and stored. As a result, it is possible to work without inputting data relevant to the advance. It is possible to work with or without the equalising roller in order to compensate material-specific properties.

Abstract: A leak in a fuel cell module (1) can allow hydrogen (H2) and/or oxygen (O2) to escape from the fuel cell module (1), hereby creating a high risk of fire or explosion. The invention addresses this problem by providing a fuel cell installation with a fuel cell module (1) that is enclosed in a gas-tight pressure container (3). Filling the pressure container (3) with a protective gas ensures that if the fuel cell module (1) does leak, no operating gas can escape from the module (1), protective gas entering the module (1) instead. A leak therefore no longer poses a risk. The leak can also be identified and located by a voltage drop in the cells affected by the leak.
