Title: Humerus nail
Inventor: HARDER HANS E
IPC: A61B17/72
Filed: 1993-04-08
Abstract: Abstract The humerus nail according to the invention comprises a shaft to be proximally inserted into the medullary canal of the humerus, wherein the entire length of the shaft is straight. The shaft includes a pair of cross bores in the proximal region thereof. Furthermore, axis parallel slots are provided at the distal shaft end. Due to the straight extension of the shaft, the humerus nail may be proximally inserted into the medullary canal of the humerus In an appropriate position, wherein the position of the cross bores is not yet fixed since the straight shaft can be rotated about the longitudinal axis after being inserted. The appropriate position of the cross bore is selected such that the screw to be inserted into the cross bore in anchoring the nail cannot hurt a nerve path. The position of the cross bore may be detected by a target means of known structure.

Inventor: RICHARDSON C DOUGLAS
IPC: H04L69/40
Filed: 1993-05-17
Abstract: A digital communications system with fast facility protection is disclosed.  The system includes at least one digital   cross-connect   which   is   in   bidirectional communication with east and west routes of the network via east and west transmit ports and east and west receive ports.  The cross-connect broadcasts a facility over both the east and west routes, and receives the return facility over one of the routes.   The cross-connect monitors the error  status  of  the  received  facility  for  hard  error conditions  and  excessive  error  rates,  by  way  of  a distributed processor in communication with the port.  In the event of an error, the cross-connect blind switches the facility to the inactive port by way of a receive-end switch,  according to a first embodiment.   According to another embodiment, a head-end switch is performed, thus allowing for improved flexibility for port assignment in the cross-connect.

IPC: C12N15/09
Filed: 1992-04-16
Abstract: Disclosed herein are genetic markers for pig litter size, methods for identifying such markers, and methods of screening pigs to determine those more likely to produce larger litters. The markers are based upon the presence or absence of polymor-phisms in the pig estrogen receptor gene. Preferably, the polymorphism is a restriction fragment length polymorphism (RFLP). A 4.3 kilobase fragment obtained by digesting pig genomic DNA with the restriction endonuclease Pvu II and detecting the frag-ments with a probe comprising a delectably labeled human estrogen receptor gene is associated with increased litter size.

Title: Analytical cartridge and system for detecting analytes
Inventor: SUBRAMANIAN KUMAR
IPC: B01L3/00
Filed: 1993-04-07
Abstract: A diagnosis system, which comprises a monitor, comprising means for detecting multiple reflectance readings in an array of individual locations, means for registering an analytical cartridge in the monitor at a fixed location and orientation relative to the array, and means for determining and displaying analytical results from reflectance readings; and an analytical cartridge, comprising a liquid impervious housing, a sample application site in the housing located outside the monitor when the cartridge is registered in the monitor by the means for registering, one or more reflectance reading sites in the housing that register with one or more of the locations in the array, a capillary pathway in the housing leading from the sample application site to each of the reflectance reading sites, and a reflectance matrix located in at least one of the reflectance reading sites. In some embodiments of the invention, control features that optimize accuracy of measurement by controlling when and if sample reaches reflectance reading sites and by drawing excess sample away from undesirable locations in the cartridge are present. One control element balances the liquid-holding capacities of the application site, the sample-transporting capillary passageway that leads to the reflectance reading site, and the porous matrices from which the reflectance reading will be made, so that excess sample is excluded from entry into the cartridge while sample volumes that are below the minimum necessary for accurate operation do not reach the matrix, thereby avoiding false readings.

Title: Surgical instrument for cone-shaped sub trochanteric rotational osteotomy
Inventor: SIOUFI GEORGES
IPC: A61B17/17
Filed: 1994-01-11
Abstract: SURGICAL INSTRUMENT FOR CONE-SHAPED SUB   TROCHANTERIC ROTATIONAL OSTEOTOMY                   ABSTRACT OF THE DISCLOSURE           A surgical instrument and kit including it, for use to carry out a cone-shaped sub trochanteric rotational osteotomy.  The instrument  has a guide that is fixed to a cervical screw which has been previously inserted into the femoral head along the axis of the cone to be cut. A drill bit driven in rotation about its own axis passes through the guide in an oblique hole extending at an angle equal to half the angle of the cone to be cut.   The drill bit penetrates the lateral wall of the femur as close as possible to the cervical screw.   Cutting of the cone is achieved by lateral displacement of the drill bit in a circular motion, which is progressively enlarged as the bit moves forward.   In addition to the instrument, the kit contains a chisel with cutting wings, which is insertable in the cervical screw to allow the wings to make slits in the bone.  once the bone is cut and the guide and drill bit have been removed,  the ill weight-bearing zone of the patient's femoral head is rotated   and replaced   by a healthy zone of the femoral head.   This kit also has a compression plate which is insertable on the cervical screw and simultaneously in the slits done by the cutting wings of the chisel.  This compression plate is used to fasten the femoral head to the femur in its new position.  Also included is a compression screw which rigidly ties the compression plate to the cervical  screw and a set of stabilizing  hooks,  which  are  anchored  to  the  great trochanter and fastened by compression to the compression plate.    The  kit  allows  for  an  early  and  efficient rehabilitation.

Inventor: MARINELLI DAVID J
IPC: H04M3/50
Filed: 1994-10-13
Abstract: A substantially-universal detector (FIG. 2) of far-end call disconnect-indicative tones detects the foreseeable forms of tone-based signalling of remote-end call disconnect that are likely to be employed anywhere in the world, without reconfiguration orreprogramming for different tones or countries. Implemented in the digital signal processor (DSP) of port circuits of switching systems or adjunct processors, the detector determines parameters of signals carried by the call to the near end and uses them, along with already-present linear predictive coding (LPC) predictor coefficients and indications of energy in the signals, in a multivariate classification of call progress tones from other tones. When presence of any call progress tones is thus detected substantially without interruption for a predetermined minimum time in the received signals, the call is considered to have been disconnected at the far end. In response, a voice messaging system (VMS) adjunct processor deletes any recording of the call progress tones from the end of the recorded message.
