Patent EP-1295577-A2 (EP)
Inventor: O'NEIL MICHAEL J
IPC: A61F2/46
Filed: 2002-09-18
Abstract: An alignment verification device (10) includes a spacer element (12) and an alignment
guide surface (40). The spacer element (12) has proximal and distal portions and an insert
engaging element (20) disposed on the distal portion. The proximal portion can be of such a
design so as to serve as a handle for the verification device. The alignment guide
surface (40) is affixed to the spacer element (12) and defines an alignment orifice (42). The alignment
orifice (42) is spaced apart from the insert engaging element (20). A prosthesis (102) is also disclosed
having an engaging element (50,70) and a visual indicator element (26). The engaging element (50,70) is
configured to releasably engage the prosthesis engaging element (20) of the alignment
verification device (10) so that, upon engagement, the alignment orifice (42) is spaced apart from
the visual indicator element (26). The engagement of the alignment verification device (10) with
the prosthesis (102) can thus be adapted to permit a sighting element (108) of an image obtaining
device (106) to be aligned with the alignment orifice (42) and the visual indicator element (26) so that
an image obtaining device (106) is aligned with the prosthesis (102) in a known orientation.

a command initiator and the library, passing through commands (307) that can be
carried out by the data transfer element to the data transfer element, and executing,
with the bridge, commands (308) addressed to the data transfer element that cannot
be carried out by the data transfer element.
Patent EP-1258944-A2 (EP)
Inventor: MIKKOLA JYRKI
IPC: H01Q5/40
Filed: 2002-05-06
Abstract: The invention relates to a multiband antenna which finds utility particularly in
mobile stations. The antenna structure includes a PIFA-type antenna positioned
inside the covers of a mobile station, which antenna includes a slot radiator (231).
In the planar element there is a second slot (232) so that, viewed from a feed point
(F), two radiating conductive branches (B1, B2) of different lengths are formed.
Each of the three radiators has a separate operating band of its own. The structure
also includes a whip element (211) movable with respect to the PIFA part. When
the whip element is pulled out, its lower end is galvanically coupled with the shorter
branch of the planar element, with its relatively narrow side branch (B12). The whip
enhances the operation of the antenna especially in the lowest operating band. The
influence of the pulled-out whip on the location of the uppermost operating band is
compensated for by a third slot (233) in the planar element. Matching for the whip
element is provided by shaping the conductive patterns existing in the planar
element in any case. The structure is relatively simple and economical to fabricate.
A good three-band planar antenna can be provided without a whip element as well.
