Abstract: A fixation device for use in association with anterior lumbar interbody fusion procedures includes a couple of spaced plates (12,13) which may have integral spikes (19) on facing surfaces thereof for pressing into spinal processes of adjacent vertebrae. One of the plates (12) may have a spherical socket (17) which captures a spherical head (16) end of a post (14) whose other end is received through an aperture (19) in the other plate (13). The socket mounting is arranged to enable the post to pivot therein for at least two degrees of freedom to a limited extent, enabling angulation between the two plates so as to accommodate the different thicknesses and orientations of the spinal processes on adjacent vertebrae. The reception of the post in the second plate enables adjustment of spacing between the plates to accommodate effective installation of the assembly on the spinal processes by a compression instrument, and permanent reliable maintenance of that spacing following removal of the compression instrument. The cross-sectional configuration of the post and receiver aperture (19) in the plate (13) may inhibit rotation of the plate relative to the post about the post axis, and a set screw (22) in the apertured plate (13) may engage a flat (14F) on the post fixing the inter-plate space as adjusted.

Abstract: The aim of the invention is to produce complete high temperature fuel cells by means of thermal injection processes (e.g. atmospheric plasma injection, vacuum plasma injection, high speed flame injection). The production method is especially simplified and is economical by virtue of the fact that the carrier substrate is also produced on a base with the aid of a thermal injection method. The base or an intermediate layer placed thereon can be advantageously dissolved or decomposed such that the carrier substrate provided with layers arranged thereon can be separated in a very simple manner from the base which becomes unnecessary. Said method advantageously enables the production of all layers of a high temperature fuel cell, exclusively with the aid of a thermal injection method.

Abstract: Apparatus and methods sense or measure an input current (I in ), such as a current indicating a logic state of a memory cell (38). A sensing circuit includes an amplifier (412), a capacitor (422), a current source circuit (430), a clocked comparator (426) and a clocked counter (448). The current source circuit operates responsive to an output (444,445) of the comparator to supply or withdraw current to and from the capacitor during respective charging and discharging intervals. The count in the clocked counter results from periodic comparisons of the capacitor voltage with a reference voltage and is, therefore, related to the logic state of the memory cell. The magnitude of current supplied during charging is less than the magnitude withdrawn during discharging, allowing use of a smaller counter.
