Abstract: A semiconstrained prosthetic knee for surgical replacement of a dysfunctional knee includes a tibial platform, a movable bearing element, and a femoral component. The femoral and tibial components are typically constructed of a cobalt-chromium alloy and each includes an extension for securing the component to the bone. The femoral component includes a polycentric convex bearing which slidably engages a movable bearing, typically constructed of high molecular weight polyethylene. The superior surface of the bearing element is designed to congruently slidably engage the inferior surface of the bearing portion of the femoral component throughout the flexion/extension range of the knee. The inferior surface of the femoral component is generally convex with two or more offset portions of varying radii of curvature matching complimentary superior surfaces of the bearing element. The inferior surface of the femoral component may have more than one radii of curvature at different points along the convex surface. The superior surface of the tibial platform is generally flat and includes at least one protrusion for controlling the movement of the bearing element.

Title: Method and apparatus for treatment of ground, crop or the like dependent on distance travelled
Inventor: BENEST ENGINEERING LIMITED
IPC: G01B3/11

Granted: 1997-05-28
Abstract: A method and apparatus for measuring distances comprises a supply of a discardable line and means for detecting the length and rate of dispensing of the line. In use, one end of the line is fixed to a reference location and the other end is transversed along the distance to be measured. The distance is instantaneously calculated from the movement of the line as it is dispensed. Related quantities such as speed and area can be derived therefrom. A sign derived from the distance measurement can be used to control apparatus requiring precise input relating to distance or speed of travel, such as agricultural or horticultural spraying apparatus. After completion of a given measurement, the dispensed line is discarded. Detection of length or rate of dispensing of the line may be effectd by reference to markers on the line.

Abstract: In an autonomous radio clock (11) whose receiver (23) for pulse-length-modulated binary-coded absolute time information (28) is in any case switched on only from time to time for receiving time messages and comparing the latter with the instantaneous time display in order to reduce the load on the operating power source (22), the aim is to reduce the energy consumption further in order, for example, also to be able to operate clocks - even wrist-watches - from a solar-fed store. For this purpose, the receiver does not remain switched on over the sequence of the coding periods of a time message, but is switched off for the remainder of a coding period when no further binary information is to be expected, and is switched on again for the next coding period. As a result, by contrast with being continuously switched on over the entirety of the coding periods of a message it is possible to save over 80% of the energy requirement for operating the receiver (23). <IMAGE>
