Patent EP-1571368-A3 (EP)
Inventor: COPF FRANZ
IPC: F16F9/00
Filed: 2004-11-26
Abstract: A method for absorbing an impulse of force is defined by the steps: producing an impulse of pressure within a layer of a porous resilient fibrous material, which contains a fluid and is permeable to fluid; transferring the impulse of pressure to a first fluid layer; transferring the impulse of pressure to a layer of a nonporous resilient fibrous material, which contains the fluid and which is permeable to the fluid; transferring the impulse of pressure to a second fluid layer; transferring the impulse of pressure to a first permeable porous layer consisting of a plurality of compartments fastened to each other and filled up by the fluid and their membrane-like walls being deformable and their walls in any of the compartments being provided with at least two through-holes, shifted with respect to each other in the direction of the propagation of the impulse of pressure; transferring the impulse of pressure to a first layer of a plurality of springs, arranged next to each other and oriented along the lines of the propagation of the impulse of pressure, their high-pressure end leaning against the low-pressure surface of the first permeable porous layer and their low-pressure end leaning against the high-pressure surface of a second permeable porous layer and the space between the springs being filled up with the fluid; transferring the impulse of pressure through alternate further permeable porous layers and further layers of springs up to a last permeable porous layer, which has a construction similar to that of the first permeable porous layer, the linear size of its compartments being larger than in the penultimate permeable porous layer; and transferring the impulse of pressure to the fluid situated next to the low-pressure surface of the last permeable porous layer. 
     The method of the invention is distinguished for its gradual absorption of an impulse of force in a series of several steps, supposedly imitating such process occurring within the human bone structure when exposed to shock-like loads.

Abstract: An improved rongeur (10) for cutting bone or cartilage
comprising two shaft members (14, 20) capable of
reciprocating motion relative to each other wherein one shaft
member (14) terminates in a foot plate (16), and the other
shaft member comprises a combined cutting element and storage
member (50), is disclosed. The combined cutting element and
storage member (50) has a cutting edge at its distal end and
a storage chamber proximate the cutting edge for collecting
and storing cut pieces of bone or cartilage in an amount
greater than the maximum bone or cartilage capable of being
cut in a single full cut. The combined cutting element and
storage member is truly disposable, rather than merely
replaceable, and requires the use of no tools or special
assembly. The rongeur may be manually activated or activated
by a solenoid and powered by a battery.

Abstract: A path planning unit plans a travel path to a destination based on an estimated current travel position and outputs a travel command to a travel control unit to perform travel control so as to follow the travel path. A travel position prediction unit accumulates a travel distance, which is detected by a wheel turning-angle sensor, to the estimated current travel position so as to predict the current travel position. A predictive image generating unit generates a plurality of predictive edge images which are composed of edge information and captured when a camera is virtually disposed at the predicted current travel position and candidate positions in the vicinity of it based on layout information of the environment, and an edge image generating unit generates an actual edge image from the actual image captured by the camera (18). A position estimation unit compares the edge image with the plurality of predictive edge images, estimates the candidate position of the predictive edge image at which the degree of similarity is the maximum, and updates the travel position of the path planning unit and the travel position prediction unit.
