Abstract: A guide for use in determining the location of a plane for resecting one of the femoral condyles in a knee joint, relative to a reference surface on the tibia, to prepare the condyle for implantation of the femoral component of a unicompartmental knee joint prosthesis. The guide comprises a first limb which can be inserted between the femur and the tibia, in contact with the reference surface on the tibia, the first limb having a femoral surface which faces towards the femur and a tibial surface which faces towards the tibia. A second limb extends generally perpendicularly from the first limb so as to extend over the femur when the first limb is inserted between the femur and the tibia, which has at least two holes formed in it to locate fixation holes on the femur. The first limb is configured to fit between the reference surface of the tibia and the respective condyle. The tibial surface of the first limb has at least two generally flat portions when the limb is viewed in cross-section looking along its length so that the tibial surface is generally convex, the included angle defined by the flat portions being at least about 165 DEG .

Abstract: A method for manufacturing microneedle structures is disclosed using soft lithography and photolithography, in which micromold structures made of a photoresist material or PDMS are created. The micromold manufacturing occurs quite quickly, using inexpensive materials and processes. Once the molds are available, using moldable materials such as polymers, microneedle arrays can be molded or embossed in relatively fast procedures. In some cases a sacrificial layer is provided between the forming micromold and its substrate layer, for ease of separation. The microneedles themselves can be solid projections, hollow “microtubes,” or shallow “microcups.” Electrodes can be formed on the microneedle arrays, including individual electrodes per hollow microtube.

Abstract: A weaving machine includes two temples whose axis is parallel to the weft threads and which are located at the lateral edges of the cloth, a cylindrical cloth-deflecting bar on which the cloth presses around an arc of contact before winding around a haul-off roll on which one or more backup rolls press. The clothdeflecting bar has a central cylindrical portion which connects coaxially on either side with two terminal portions next to the areas where the temples are installed, the terminal portions having a cross section which varies in shape proceeding from their ends adjacent to the central portion towards the free ends, causing a variation in the tension transmitted to the corresponding areas of the cloth by the hauloff roll, such that it varies from a minimum value at the ends of the terminal portions adjacent to the central portion to a maximum value at their free ends.
