Abstract: Provided are a bending method and a bending apparatus for bending a medical suturing needle into different curved shapes by using one bending top. The bending apparatus comprises a reciprocally rotatable bending top, and a belt having such a flexibility as can be wound on the outer circumference of the bending top. The bending method curves a medical suturing needle by sandwiching and constricting a material for the medical suturing needle between the bending top and the belt and by rotating the bending top reciprocally in the winding direction and in the rewinding direction. In the bending method, the curved shape of the material is changed by changing the winding angle of the belt to be wound on the outer circumference of the bending top thereby to change the area for constricting the material. The bending apparatus (B) comprises a reciprocally rotatable bending top (11), and a belt (12) having such a flexibility as can be wound on the outer circumference of the bending top (11), and is constituted such that a winding angle (θ) for the belt (12) to be wound on the outer circumference of the bending top (11) is changed.

Abstract: A system for calculating a position and orientation of an acetabular cup in computer-assisted surgery comprises a first trackable reference secured to a pelvis, with a frame of reference being associated with the first trackable reference. A device is positionable between a femoral neck and the acetabulum of the pelvis in a known relation, the device having a second trackable reference. Sensors track the trackable references for position and orientation. A position/orientation calculator calculates a position and orientation of the frame of reference and of the device and for determining an orientation of the neck axis with respect to the frame of reference from the known relation at a desired position of the femur. An implant position/orientation calculator provides cup implanting information with respect to the orientation of said neck axis as a function of the tracking for position and orientation of at least the first trackable reference.

IPC: A01N25/06
Filed: 2008-10-29
Abstract: L'invention concerne des assainisseurs d'air et des désodorisants améliorés à vaporiser en aérosol à une seule phase. L'ingrédient actif préféré pour l'assainissement de l'air est du triéthylèneglycol (TEG) à haute concentration, dans une formulation d'aérosol à une seule phase qu'il est possible d'obtenir en utilisant de l'éther diméthylique (DME) comme propulseur. La combinaison du TEG et du DME permet d'utiliser des concentrations élevées de TEG dans une formulation d'aérosol à une seule phase, sans obligation d'utiliser de l'éthanol ou de l'eau comme co-solvants. La formulation permet d'assainir l'air et d'en éliminer les bactéries et autres substances malodorantes et d'obtenir des taux de destruction des bactéries plus élevés que ceux obtenus par les formulations existantes d'assainissement de l'air, grâce aux concentrations élevées de TEG. La formulation en aérosol de TEG à haute concentration étant une formulation à une seule phase, elle peut être utilisée dans des systèmes de vaporisation ou de distribution automatiques et il n'est pas nécessaire de la secouer ou de l'agiter avant utilisation. Les formulations de l'invention ne laissent que peu ou pas de résidu visible sur les surfaces dures lorsqu'elles sont administrées dans l'air d'une pièce.

Abstract: A phase-control switchgear (50) includes a circuit breaker (30), a phase difference detection unit (41), a storage unit (42), and a circuit breaker control unit (44). The phase difference detection unit (41) detects a phase difference between voltages of a specific phase (U-phase) of buses (11, 21) to which three-phase generators (10, 20) are respectively connected, at a plurality of time points. The storage unit (42) stores the detected phase differences. When the three-phase generators (10, 20) are out of synchronization, the circuit breaker control unit (44) estimates a breaking time point at which the phase difference between the voltages of the U-phase of the buses (11, 21) will be in the range of not less than -80° and not more than 80°, based on the phase differences at the plurality of time points stored in the storage unit (42). The circuit breaker control unit (44) opens the circuit breaker (30) to break a current at the estimated breaking time point. This makes it possible to suppress a transient voltage generated between electrodes of the circuit breaker (30) after the current is broken.
