Abstract: An orthopaedic method and anchor assemblies for anchoring a linkage such as a rod or cable used for fixation or reduction. One assembly includes an anchor plate (102a,102b) and a slotted anchor bolt (12) that captures the plate in a one-piece assembly for convenient installation. The base of the anchor bolt lies below the plate, and a cap or nut tightens down to secure a linking member, e.g., a rod or cable, in the slot, simultaneously clamping the bolt to fix both its position and its orientation on the plate. One occipital plate has lateral arms (112,114) that hold the anchor bolts, and a Y-shaped embodiment is mounted in an inverted orientation to position the anchor bolts well down in soft tissue for more effective wound closure. A cable connector (200) is used together with an anchor plate, vertebra anchor screws and fixation rods to secure ends of a cable at the level of one or more vertebrae, providing a versatile and highly stable system for alignment, fixation and fusing of the cervical and thoracic spine. The cable connectors have an open-sided channel that fits onto and securely clamps to an already-positioned fixation rod, with an eyelet or other structure providing a rigid and fixed securing point for a cable that is threaded about the vertebrae under tension. Methods of fixation are described.

Abstract: A first valve (14) controlled according to the amount of through-flow and a second valve (18) controlled according to the temperature of the water thus drawn off are arranged in a known device (3) in order to connect a heat exchanger (1) in a domestic device (WWW) for drawing off hot water and,optionally, a domestic heating device (2), to a long-distance energy network (FW). Both valves (14, 18) are serially connected between the long-distance energy network (FW) and the primary side of the heat exchanger (1). The secondary side (9) of the heat exchanger (1) is connected to the device (WW) for drawing off hot water . In said serial connection of two valves, the kv value of the valve which is controlled according to temperature constitutes a large part of the overall Kv value, whereby the proportionality range between the temperature and through-flow of the first valve has to be wide enough to achieve stable regulation for small amounts of water drawn off. According to the invention, both valves are connected in parallel. The advantage thus provided is that regulation is stable for small amounts of drawn off water and the proportionality range of the temperature control valve can be smaller than for a serial connection.

Abstract: The invention relates to a method for displaying three-dimensional images. In the method light beams (L<SUB>e</SUB>) are associated to several different screen points (P) of a screen ( 20 ). The light beams (L<SUB>e</SUB>) produce different views associated to different emission directions (E). The emission directions (E) are associated to the individual screen points (P). The light beams (L<SUB>e</SUB>) are generated by projecting light beams (L<SUB>d</SUB>), according to the angle of the adjacent emitting directions. According to the invention, light beams (L<SUB>e</SUB>) without viewing direction information are generated, essentially simultaneously, with pixels (C<SUB>d</SUB>) having different co-ordinates. These pixels (C<SUB>d</SUB>) are pixels of a two-dimension display ( 50 ), and they are associated to different emitting directions (E) of the appropriate screen points (P). The light beams (L<SUB>e</SUB>) produced by the pixels (C<SUB>d</SUB>) of the display ( 50 ) with different co-ordinates are imaged simultaneously in different deflection directions (D), as a function of the co-ordinates of the pixels (C<SUB>d</SUB>) producing the light beams (L<SUB>e</SUB>). The subject of the invention is an apparatus implementing the above method.

Abstract: Station for forming stacks of layers of articles includes a horizontal supporting surface (50), featuring a window (20), which allows a layer (S) to pass freely therethrough. First means (10) drive the layers (S) along the support surface (50). A stationary descending ramp (25) starts from the initial part of said window (20) and extends downstream. A second horizontal lower surface (60) is situated in cascade at the downstream end of the ramp (25) and under a upper surface (50A), and forms the part of the support surface (50) situated downstream of the window. An additional conveyor (30) is connected to the window (20) to restore cyclically the continuity of the support in correspondence to the window for the odd layers (SA), and consequently to send each of the odd layers (SA) toward the upper surface (50A), and to allow the even layers (SB) to pass cyclically through the window (20). The even layers (SB) are consequently directed, due to gravity, onto the ramp (25). Second means (40) move each even layer (SB) to the ramp (25) and convey it to the lower surface (60). Third means (70) move each even layer (SB) on the lower surface (60), situated below. The even layer (SB) moves with the same speed as the corresponding odd layer (SA), pulled by the first moving means (10) on the upper surface. <IMAGE>
