Abstract: A method for guiding a bone removal device to form a socket in the human spine and for inserting a cortical bone implant into the socket. The method includes placing a guard against the posterior aspect of the spine, the guard having a passage therethrough, inserting the bone removal device into the passage, removing a portion of a facet joint with the bone removal device to create the socket having a maximum height, and inserting the cortical bone implant into the socket. The cortical bone implant has a leading end, a trailing end, a mid-longitudinal axis through the ends, and a height transverse to the mid-longitudinal axis, the height of the cortical bone implant being greater than the maximum height of the socket.

Abstract: Methods and apparatus are presented for implementing an improved Control-Hold Mode that reduces the load of the reverse link and reduces the battery consumption of remote stations. While a remote station is in the improved Control-Hold Mode, the circuitry that monitors the forward packet data channels and the associated control channels are turned off. Since the forward packet data channels and their associated control channels are not monitored, the operations of the reverse channels can be gated off to predetermined duty cycles, or set on intermittent transmission modes, or shut down completely. Transitions from the Control-Hold Mode to the Active Mode can be initiated by the remote station or by a base station. When a transition is initiated by a remote station, the remote station transmits a signaling message to a serving base station and then starts operating the feedback channels before actually receiving forward link signals.

Abstract: In a FLIR/laser based targeting and imaging system, the ability to recognize, detect, locate, and/or track targets in an area of interest is significantly improved by reducing the fixed and dynamic alignment errors between the IR LOS and the laser LOS. Fixed alignment errors are reduced with an improved internal boresight module and corresponding boresight method. Dynamic alignment errors are reduced with an opto-electric subsystem that employs a single pitch bearing and a common pitch/yaw afocal for both the laser energy and the IR energy. A segmented window in the system housing includes a circular EMI grid pattern which significantly reduces the amount of off-axis EMI entering the optical pathways, and improved signal processing techniques are employed to enhance the quality of the IR image after the image has been digitized.

Abstract: The present invention relates to an arrangement in a wheel lifting mechanism designed to lift at least one wheel ( 1 ) running on an underlying surface so that it is capable of negotiating an obstacle (h) rising above the underlying surface. The arrangement comprises an element ( 7 ) which is formed with a contour convexly curved towards the underlying surface and is moveably supported in relation to the axle of the wheel ( 1 ). The said element is designed, when the contour of the element ( 7 ) engages with the obstacle (h), to bring about the said lifting of the wheel ( 7 ) as the element ( 7 ) is rotated about its point of engagement with the obstacle (h). The arrangement further comprises a chassis ( 4 ), to which the wheel axle is firmly connected. Between the chassis and the element ( 7 ) there is an operative connection designed, when the element ( 7 ) engages with the obstacle (h), to allow the chassis ( 4 ) firstly to undertake lifting of the wheel ( 1 ) from a home position of the element ( 7 ) during a displacing movement relative thereto in the direction of movement of the wheel, and secondly to bring about a return to the home position once the wheel ( 1 ) has been lifted to the level of the obstacle (h).
