Patent CA-2381501-A1 (CA)
Inventor: RIEGER HARTMUT
IPC: B23Q11/10
Filed: 2000-07-28
Abstract: The invention relates to a method for cutting- or non-cutting shaping of metals using two cooling lubricants. A first cooling lubricant in the form of an oil or a first emulsion with an oil content of at least 10 weight % is applied to the tribozone and a second cooling lubricant which is an oil-free cooling lubricant or a second emulsion, representing an oil-in-water-emulsion having an oil content of less than 10 w.- %, applied to the workpiece at the level of the tribozone. Depending on the processing techniques used, a two-component nozzle is preferably used to apply the first and the second cooling lubricant. The jet of the second cooling lubricant surrounds the jet of the second cooling lubricant in a concentric manner. Alternatively, it is possible to introduce the first cooling lubricant directly into the tribozone via channels in the tool. The second cooling lubricant can be applied at the periphery. Drip-off cooling lubricants are collected together in a container where phase separation into a first and a second cooling lubricant occurs. The invention also relates to an apparatus for performing the above-mentioned whereby said apparatus consists of two containers. The phase which is separated off from the first cooling lubricant in the first container is added to the second container to enable complete phase separation.

Title: Rotating, locking intervertebral disk stabilizer
Inventor: PISHARODI MADHAVAN
IPC: A61F2/28
Filed: 2001-04-30
Abstract: A middle expanded, removable disk implant for stabilizing adjacent vertebrae.  The implant is substantially rectangular in cross-sectional shape with a minimal height and a width greater than the height. The implant is detachably mounted to an applicator for insertion into the space between two adjacent vertebrae from which a portion of the intervertebral disk has been removed.  Once inserted, the implant is positioned by anterior-posterior movement in the disk space to the position in which both the expanded, larger width middle portion and the smaller end portions engage the bodies of the adjacent vertebrae and the implant is then rotated to bring the sides of the rectangularly-shaped implant defining the width of the implant, with its larger dimension, into engagement with the bodies of the vertebrae. A locking piece is then inserted into the disk space adjacent the rotated implant. The locking piece includes a surface for bearing against the bodies of the adjacent vertebrae to resist rotation of the locking piece along the longitudinal axis thereof and an implant bearing surface for engaging one of the sides of the implant defining the width of the implant to resist rotation of the implant relative to the locking piece. Both implant and locking piece are comprised of bone, the locking piece being preferably comprised of both cortical and cancellous bone, or the implant is comprised of metal, bio-compatible polymer, or other suitable material. The implant may also include a flared end for maintaining proper spinal curvature of the patient.
