Title: Modular humeral prosthesis
Inventor: DEWS PAUL M
IPC: A61F2/02
Filed: 1998-04-03
Abstract: A modular humeral prosthesis for replacement of the humeral head of a humerus. The prosthesis generally comprises a stem to be fitted to a resected humerus; a head sized and configured to approximate the humeral head; and an intermediate connecting member for connecting the stem to the head. A first engagement/mounting portion is provided on the intermediate connecting member for mounting the intermediate connecting member on the stem, and a second engagement/mounting portion is provided on the intermediate connecting member for mounting the head on the intermediate connecting member. The first engagement/mounting portion has an axis about which the intermediate connecting member can be rotated through 360° relative to the stem and thereafter secured at a selected relative orientation. The second engagement/mounting portion has an axis about which the head can be rotated through 360° relative to the intermediate connecting member and thereafter secured at a selected relative rotation. The axis of rotation of the first and second engagement/mounting portions are not coincident, whereby the first and second engagement/mounting portions allow the head to be given a desired offset relative to the stem. Also disclosed is a modular humeral prosthesis kit comprising a variety of different intermediate connecting members that may be selected to fit the prosthesis to the patient, and a method of replacing a humeral head in a patient.

Title: Cordless computer assembly
IPC: G06F1/00
Filed: 1987-05-12
Abstract: An expansion unit (24) that adds functions to a main computer unit (12) connects to it without cabling. The main unit (12) rests on the expansion unit, and electrical connections between the two units are thereby made automatically by complementary connectors (36, 134) on the upper surface (22) of the expansion unit and the lower surface (20) of the main unit.

Title: Method and apparatus for ionizing fluids utilizing a capacitive effect
Inventor: IBBOTT JACK KENNETH
IPC: C02F1/48
Filed: 1991-04-09
Abstract: The present invention relates to a method and apparatus for treating electrically conductive fluid. In one embodiment, positive (1) and negative (2) electrodes of electrically conductive materials having different electrochemical potentials are spaced apart. At least one of the electrodes has a covering of electrically insulative material (3,4) extending substantially therearound. Thus, the only electroconductlve connection that develops an electrochemical potential between the electrodes is established by a capacitive effect through the fluid to be treated, which fluid is passed between the electrodes (1,2). In another embodiment of the present invention, first and second electrodes (6,7) of electrically conductive material are spaced from one another, and at least one of the electrodes is provided with a covering of electrically insulative material (8,9) extending substantially therearound. An external source of energy (12) is connected to the first and second electrodes. Accordingly, when a body of electrically conductive fluid to be treated is interposed between the electrodes, an electroconductive connection between the electrodes is established through the body of fluid by a capacitive effect and the fluid is ionized. In each case, by providing at least one of the electrodes (1,2; 6,7) with a covering of electrically insulative material (3,4; 8,9), current flow between the electrodes is inhibited which contributes to the efficiency of the apparatus in ionizing fluid, even fluid having a high degree of electroconductive capability. <IMAGE>
