Title: Fixation de fracture femorale proximale a verrouillage hybride
Inventor: WAISMAN MARC
IPC: A61B17/64
Filed: 2004-03-23
Abstract: La présente invention concerne une nouvelle fixation interne permettant de fixer une fracture intracapsulaire du col de fémur à l'aide d'une nouvelle technique non effractive. La fixation comprend un élément tubulaire ayant une extrémité affûtée et une extrémité émoussée qui se prête à l'implantation tout en traversant légèrement la ligne de fracture. Trois vis à tête hexagonale sont destinées à traverser les passages pratiqués dans l'élément tubulaire et à s'étendre vers l'extérieur sous l'extrémité affûtée alors que le filetage pratiqué dans les vis à tête hexagonale permet la compression des fragments de l'os. Dans les fractures extracapsulaire et subtrochantériennes, la fixation interne peut être intégrée au moyen d'un appareil de fixation de verrouillage externe comprenant des vis à broche conçues pour être insérées à travers des orifices ménagés latéralement sur l'élément tubulaire de manière à verrouiller l'élément tubulaire et des vis à broche assemblées par clous dans un fragment fémoral distal. Un élément de connexion est conçu pour fixer les vis à broche ensemble et permettre la réduction, la correction et la fixation de celles-ci lors de l'intervention chirurgical et après.

Abstract: A safety needle device for protecting a user against a needle-stick injury. This needle device includes a needle housing having a distal housing opening. A needle is disposed within the needle housing and has a distal needle portion which extends away therefrom through the distal housing opening. An elongate sheath assembly surrounds the needle within the needle housing. A trigger member retains the sheath assembly within the needle housing against a force urging the sheath assembly towards the distal housing opening. The trigger member is sized and configured to release the sheath assembly from retention to allow the sheath assembly to transition towards and out of the distal housing opening via the force. This causes the sheath assembly to enclose the distal needle portion and protect the user against the needle stick injury.

Abstract: A first packaging strip(2) forming a cover film(6) is sealed onto a second packaging film strip(3) with product-filled naps. Both film strips pass between a feed roll(7) and a heated sealing roll(8). A preheater(10) for the first packaging strip upstream from the sealing roll has an electromagnetic radiation source in a radiation chamber(12) of a heating housing(11). The first packaging strip passes the radiation chamber. A sensor(15) monitors the atmosphere in the radiation chamber and the radiation chamber is closed in response to a sensor signal. The radiation chamber(12) is closed by a plate(16) moving in a straight path between the first packaging strip(2) and heating housing(11), in front of the radiation chamber. On the other side of the film there is a reflector(17) which also closes off the radiation chamber. Adjustment of the cooled reflector is in a plane perpendicular to the plane of the first packaging strip in front of the radiation chamber. The first strip passes through the housing at an angle to the vertical, preferably 15-45[deg], and the housing is parallel to the strip. A cylinder operated clamp(18) upstream from the radiation chamber holds the alignment of the first film strip. One or more venting channels(14) link the sensor(15) to the radiation chamber and the channels are connected to a vacuum unit. A pyrometer(20) is located downstream from the radiation chamber and is incorporated with the sensor in a control circuit governing the radiation source. The closure plate(16) and/or reflector operation are also included in the control circuit. The heating housing and feed roll(7) are connected to a cooling unit. Radiant heat is provided by a near infra-red lamp(13).

Abstract: A control system for an array of qubits is disclosed. The control system according to the present invention provides currents and voltages to qubits in the array of qubits in order to perform functions on the qubit. The functions that the control system can perform include read out, initialization, and entanglement. The state of a qubit can be determined by grounding the qubit, applying a current across the qubit, measuring the resulting potential drop across the qubit, and interpreting the potential drop as a state of the qubit. A qubit can be initialized by grounding the qubit and applying a current across the qubit in a selected direction for a time sufficient that the quantum state of the qubit can relax into the selected state. In some embodiments, the qubit can be initialized by grounding the qubit and applying a current across the qubit in a selected direction and then ramping the current to zero in order that the state of the qubit relaxes into the selected state. The states of two qubits can be entangled by coupling the two qubits through a switch. In some embodiments, the switch that is capable of grounding the qubits can also be utilized for entangling selected qubits.
