Patent DE-69519863-T2 (DE)
Inventor: JAMES ANTHONY
IPC: A61B17/88

Abstract: A modular intramedullary nail includes three connectable sections that are connectable end to end. The three sections include an upper proximal nail component having an open ended bore. The second section is a central nail section that is an elongated curved nail component having an open ended longitudinal bore. The third section is a lower distal nail component having an elongated open ended longitudinal bore. The nail components are connected and the end using corresponding conical socket and conical projecting end portions of adjoining end nail components that can be fitted together and secured upon impact. Upon assembly, the connections are self orienting, providing corresponding tooled "flat" portions adjacent the respective conical socket and conical projecting end portions of the nail components. This interlocking tooled flats align and abut upon assembly so that the adjoining nail components only align in one relative rotational position. The assembled nail thus provides an elongated continuous open ended bore that receives a cannulated fastener. The fastener extends the full length of the longitudinal bore of the assembled three nail sections. An upper enlarged head portion of the cannulated fastener grips the proximal nail component. The distal end portion of the cannulated fastener has external threads which engage corresponding internal threads within the bore of the distal nail component.

Abstract: The invention relates to a coloured polymer composition with strongly improved colour properties. This improvement is achieved by masking groups in the polymer that are reactive with respect to the colorant with the aid of an effective quantity of a compound suitable for this purpose. The invention is particularly suitable for polyamides, the amino end group content being reduced to less than 20, preferably less than 5 meq/kg, with the aid of acetyl lactam. The thermostability of e.g. CI Pigment Red 209 coloured nylon-6 is improved by a factor of 9. The brightness of the colour also increases to a surprising extent.

Abstract: A circuit is provided for controlling charge (or discharge) of an auxiliary battery using an auxiliary battery charge control circuit of improved design. The auxiliary battery charge control circuit is coupled between an auxiliary battery and a main battery for regulating charge and discharge of the auxiliary battery. The auxiliary battery control circuit includes a pair of voltage dividers coupled between ground potential and the main battery, and a pair of comparators having a mutually connected output. The inputs of the pair of comparators are connected to a reference voltage and the pair of voltage dividers. The output of the comparators is connected to a switch transistor, and the switch transistor modulates a battery connected transistor coupled between the main battery and the auxiliary battery. When the main battery voltage exceeds a maximum voltage level or is less than a minimum voltage level, then the comparators turn off the switch transistor, and the switch transistor correspondingly turns off the battery connected transistor causing disconnect of the main battery from the auxiliary battery. Conversely, if the main battery voltage is between the upper and lower voltage limits, then comparator output will cause switch transistor and battery connect transistor to turn on thereby connecting main battery to the auxiliary battery. A reference voltage and resistor values within voltage divider networks are chosen according to user-defined application for setting the upper and lower voltage limits necessary for connecting or disconnecting auxiliary battery from main battery.

Abstract: A method is provided for roll-forming an I-beam structure having a web and a pair of opposing flanges at each end of the web. The method includes the steps of providing a flat blank having a thickness generally equal to a thickness of the web of the I-beam to be formed. The blank has a longitudinal axis, a central portion and opposing ends. Each of the blank ends is split along the longitudinal axis to form first and second flange portions at each of the ends. Each of the first and second flange portions has an edge directed away from the central portion. The flange portions are then bent about the longitudinal axis by moving each of the edges in a direction towards the central portion to form a mass of material at each of the blank ends. The mass of material is compacted at each of the blank ends to define the flanges. Each flange is disposed generally transverse with respect to the longitudinal axis and has a thickness generally equal to the thickness of the web.

Abstract: A round conventional parachute is shown with a small auxiliary canopy for controlling the inflation characteristics of the main canopy, especially large generally axisymmetrical canopies for heavy payloads. The main canopy has a central vent at the apex, and suspension lines descend from the lower edge or skirt of the canopy to risers or harness. The small auxiliary canopy is slidably attached to the suspension lines between the main canopy and the harness. The auxiliary canopy includes a generally hemispherical central inner section made of a low air permeable material and a generally annular flat outer section made of a high air permeable material, preferably one offering little or no resistance to air flow therethrough. The outer section is provided with spaced fittings around the periphery to slidably receive individual suspension lines therethrough. When packed, the auxiliary canopy is located near the mouth of the main canopy to control the shape of the mouth of the main canopy during opening but slides down the suspension lines as the main canopy fully inflates thereby controlling the opening sequence. By controlling the inflation characteristics of the parachute with the auxiliary canopy, the opening forces and/or the time to full open can be reduced, or increased, for a given speed.

Abstract: A nucleic acid sequence encoding Mammastatin, a specific mammary cell growth inhibitor. Mammastatin is encoded by a single nucleic acid sequence and has an approximate molecular weight of 44 kDa in its inactive, non-phosphorylated form. Normal mammary cells express functional phosphorylated forms having approximate molecular weights of 53 kDa and 49 kDa. Metastatic mammary cells either do not express Mammastatin at all, or do not express the 53 kDa or 49 kDa, phosphorylated forms. Mammary cancer cells are inhibited in their growth by the administration of phosphorylated mammastatin.

Abstract: An electrolytic process for the production of an aqueous sodium hydroxide solution uses an oxygen reduction cathode and a cation exchange membrane. The electrolytic cell comprises a cation exchange membrane dividing it into anodic and cathodic compartments. The cathode is placed directly against the membrane and the compartment is supplied with a moist gas containing O2. To obtain a weight concentration between the cation exchange membrane and the cathode of less than 38.8% of NaOH (a higher concentration reduces the life of the membrane), aqueous solutions of NaCl (anolyte) with a weight concentration of NaCl less than 200 g/l are electrolyzed. The O2-containing gas contains water vapor.

Abstract: The invention provides systems and methods that operate to provide seamless roaming to a prepaid subscriber in as many markets as possible. To that end, the systems of the invention include a location register (LR) that can determine the type, or class, of serving market with which the roaming subscriber is registering. Once the class of the serving market is identified, the LR can modify a subscriber's profile as a function of this class, and return to the serving market a profile that will allow the serving market to employ the prepaid platform that services the subscriber and thereby provide services to the roaming subscriber. In optional embodiments, the LR may also respond to location requests from the prepaid platform. The location information may be employed by the subscriber to determine a rate structure for a call, and thereby decrement the subscriber's balance as a function of, at least in part, the location of the roaming subscriber.
