Patent EP-1095639-A3 (EP)
Inventor: WEBSTER VINCENT A
IPC: A61F2/38
Filed: 2000-10-16
Abstract: An orthopaedic knee component for implanting within a proximal tibia includes a tibial
tray with a proximal tibial plateau and a distally extending stem. The tibial tray also includes a
recess extending into the tibial plateau. The recess is configured to define a first rotational stop
and a second rotational stop. The tibial tray further includes a generally cylindrical post
positioned within the recess. The post extends generally orthogonal to the tibial plateau and
defines an axis of rotation. A bearing is carried by the tibial tray and has an articular bearing
surface for engagement with a femoral component. The bearing has an opening in which the post
is disposed. The opening and the post allow pivotal movement of the bearing relative to the tibial
plateau about the axis of rotation. The bearing further has a projection extending into the recess
of the tibial tray. The projection is configured to abut the first rotational stop when the bearing is
at a first rotational limit and is configured to abut the second rotational stop when the bearing is at
a second rotational limit.

Abstract: A cathode ray tube (CRT) socket provides for improved performance by
increasing the creeping distance between high and low voltages associated with
a correspondingly connected CRT. The CRT socket includes a socket body with
a cylindrical central hole extending through its front and rear faces, signal
connecting means arranged on a concentric circle about the cylindrical central
hole, the signal connecting means engaging with signal terminals from the CRT,
and an insulating cover portion arranged on the same concentric circle as the
signal connecting means, the insulating cover portion having a high voltage
connecting means for engaging with a focusing terminal of the CRT. The signal
connecting means is constructed by forming a recessed signal contact portion in
the front face of the socket. A plurality of signal contact holes are formed in the
recessed signal contact portion of the front face. Each of the plurality of signal
contact holes are spaced apart at a predetermined interval. The high voltage
connecting means includes a recessed high voltage contact portion which is
formed by recessing a front face portion of the socket and a high voltage contact
hole formed on the recessed face. The holes formed in the recessed portions of
the high voltage connecting means and the signal connecting means engage the
terminals on the neck of the CRT. The recessed signal contact portion and the
recessed high voltage contact portion are separated from each other by a groove
portion which extends to the front and rear faces of the socket body. Creeping
distance is increased by separating the high and low voltage (signal) portions of
the socket by the groove portion.

Abstract: Style sheets which define the expression form, etc.,
of documents in a meta-language (for example, XML) format
in which tags which can be defined arbitrarily are used are
managed appropriately. A style sheet is given a unique
style ID. Since a receiving system (10) is capable of
storing style sheets (90) separately from XML documents
(80) and managing them, it is unnecessary to add a style
sheet to each XML document body and to transmit it, and
thus the amount of the data to be transmitted can be
reduced. Also, it is possible to protect the style sheets
from unauthorized use by attaching key data to the XML
document body, so that the style sheets can be managed as
authored works. Furthermore, by specifying the other party
or by providing a device for performing authentication,
limited use of the style sheet becomes possible.

Abstract: The technique of the present invention sets two
reference voltages, that is, a minimum reference voltage
and an operation inhibiting reference voltage, as the
criteria for detecting the conditions of power supply of
a low voltage power source system including a low voltage
battery. The operation inhibiting reference voltage is
lower than the minimum reference voltage and represents a
threshold value ensuring the normal operation of an
apparatus that establishes the power source of a high voltage
power source system. In a first range where the power source
voltage of the low voltage battery is lower than the minimum
reference voltage but is not lower than the operation
inhibiting reference voltage, a converter is activated to
charge the low voltage battery, so as to recover the power
source voltage of the low voltage battery to the minimum
reference voltage. The whole system of, for example, a
vehicle or an apparatus then functions normally. In a
second range where the power source voltage of the low
voltage battery is lower than the operation inhibiting
reference voltage, on the other hand, operation of the whole
system is inhibited. This arrangement brings outs the best
performance of the low voltage battery while assuring safety
of the whole system.

Abstract: There are provided a positioning-controlling apparatus
with improved accuracy and durability and a positioning-controlling
method, which are free from abnormal noises and
pulsating velocity caused by changes in torque which occur
while a subject is being moved after the completion of the
subject's origin returning operation. 
     The rotary encoder (2) should detect the Z phase in
advance before the subject (4) is returned to the origin
which is the position of the Z phase detected by the linear
encoder (5). The driving mode of the servo motor (1) is
switched from rectangular waveform pulse driving to sine
waveform pulse driving upon the detection of the Z phase by
the rotary encoder (2). Thus, after the subject (4) has
returned to the origin, the subject (4) is moved by always
driving the servo motor (1) according to sine waveform
pulses. Otherwise, such arrangement is also possible in
which the subject's moving direction for returning to the
origin is previously specified, and in which the detection
of the ON state of the origin sensor (11), the detection of
the Z phase by the rotary encoder (2), and the detection of
the Z phase by the linear encoder (5) are done in this
order, while the subject (4) is being moved in the above
specified direction. Alternatively, the rotary encoder (2)
may detect the CS phase instead of the Z phase.
