Abstract: A quick-release fitting assembly (10) has a male fitting (12) and a female fitting (14). The male and female fittings are secured together by a retaining ring (20) that is at least partially received in aligned first and second retaining grooves (18,19) that are provided in the male fitting (12) and the throat (15) of the female fitting (14) respectively. A water tight seal is provided by an O-ring (17) that is retained in a sealing groove (16) of the male fitting (12) and radially compressed against the throat wall (24) when the male fitting (12) is inserted in the female fitting (14). The water tight seal remains substantially intact when the male fitting (12) is rotated relative to the female fitting (14). In a preferred embodiment, the male fitting (12) is removable from the female fitting (14) by first compressing the retaining ring (20) so that it no longer extends into the second retaining groove (19). In this embodiment, a locking ledge (30) may be provided in the first retaining groove (18) which prevents the retaining ring (20) from being compressed when the fitting is under pressure so that the male fitting (12) cannot be removed from the female fitting (14) under pressure. <IMAGE>

Abstract: A prosthesis for repairing a knee is made with an insert sandwiched between a femoral component and a tibial tray. The parts are shaped so that both the femoral component and the tibial tray will slidingly interface with the insert during motion of the knee. At regions where the femoral component interfaces with the insert during extension and during an initial range of flexion of the knee, the femoral component's radius of curvature (R1) for flexion rotation is larger than its radius of curvature (R3) for varus/valgus rotation. In a preferred embodiment, the surface of the tibial tray is convex and spherically curved, and the insert is free to move in both the posterior-anterior direction and the medial - lateral direction with respect to the tibial tray.

Abstract: A velocity and acceleration are measured ( 14 ) in a method for determining a vehicle reference velocity, said vehicle reference velocity being used for determining and selecting a suitable transmission ratio. If a measured acceleration (a<SUB>ist</SUB>) exceeds ( 16 ) a maximally possible acceleration (a<SUB>max</SUB>), a vehicle reference acceleration (a<SUB>ref</SUB>) is determined depending on said exceeding. For this purpose, an acceleration correction value (BKF) is calculated ( 22 ) by means of which acceleration correction value a vehicle reference acceleration is calculated ( 24 ). The vehicle reference velocity (v<SUB>ref</SUB>) is determined ( 26 ) by means of the vehicle reference acceleration (a<SUB>ref</SUB>). A gearbox transmission ratio is determined ( 20 ) by means of the determined vehicle reference velocity. This branch of the procedure represents the case in which at least one wheel equipped with sensors slips.
