Inventor: LEITNER FRANCOIS
IPC: A61B17/15
Filed: 2003-09-13
Abstract: The invention relates to a method for determining the angle between the femur and the tibia during the implantation of a unicondylar knee prosthesis. The aim of the invention is to pre-determine the influence of the implantation position of the implant on the angle between the femur and the tibia. To this end, the position of the unchanged articulation surface on the tibia and/or on the femur is determined, the position of a bearing surface for a unicondylar implant on the tibia and/or on the femur is determined, and the angle between the femur and the tibia is calculated on the basis of said position data and the geometric data of the unicondylar implant.

Abstract: A functional molecular element whose functions can be
controlled by an electric field based on a new principle. A
Lewis base molecule (14) with positive permittivity anisotropy
or a dipole moment in the major axis direction of the molecule
is disposed, via a metal ion (3) that can act as a Lewis acid,
in a pendant-like form on a key molecule (2) in the form of a
line or film that has a conjugated system and exhibits
conductivity, thereby forming a functional molecular element 1
that can realize a function where the conformation changes due
to the application of an electric field. The conductive key
molecule (2) and the Lewis base molecule (14) form a complex
with the metal ion (3). When an electric field is applied in a
direction perpendicular to the plane of the paper in FIG. 1(b),
for example, the Lewis base molecule (14) performs a 90° "neck
twisting" movement with the up-down direction in the drawing as
the axis. Also, when an electric field is applied in the up-down
direction in the drawing as shown in FIG. 1(c), the Lewis base
molecule (14) performs a "see-saw" movement with the direction
perpendicular to the plane of the paper as the axis, thereby
switching the conductivity of the conductive key molecule (2).

Abstract: L'invention concerne un système et un procédé permettant de déterminer une composante de signal de capteur de courants de Foucault attribuable à un substrat. On place un substrat dans une première position par rapport au capteur, à une première distance du capteur. Le substrat peut comporter un film conducteur sur une première surface. On peut ensuite inverser sa position pour lui donner une second position par rapport au capteur, à une seconde distance du capteur égale à la première moins environ une épaisseur du substrat. On détecte un second signal de capteur pour la seconde position. Un signal de différence est alors déterminé. Ce signal équivaut à la différence entre un premier niveau de signal sur une courbe d'étalonnage pour le capteur et le second niveau de signal, lequel est décalé d'une distance environ égale à l'épaisseur du substrat. Une première composante de substrat du premier signal de capteur est alors calculée. Cette composante équivaut au produit de la première distance et du signal de différence, divisé par l'épaisseur du substrat.

Abstract: An object (5, 11) is detected using the radar sensor unit (6) which outputs measurement signals (M). The vehicle (1) velocity (v1), and the relative velocity (vr) of the object (5, 11) are determined. The object class (Oi), where i = a-g, is determined from the speed of the vehicle and the relative speed of the object. The radar (back scattering) cross section (RCS) of the object is determined from the measured signals, in the case that it is in a relevant object class (Od, Oe, Of). The profile over time of the measured radar cross section (RCS) of a succession of several objects of at least one relevant object class is determined. A failure characteristic of the sensor unit is ascertained by statistically-significant reduction of the RCS of the relevant object over time.
