Patent EP-0698458-A2 (EP)
Inventor: GRISLEY KENNETH M
IPC: B27F1/00
Filed: 1995-05-24
Abstract: The template (2) supports and guides a cutting tool (82) used to cut joint members in two workpieces (62,64) and comprises a support surface (20) and at least one set of guides (22-26) formed on the support surface (20) for guiding the cutting tool (82). The support surface (20) is movable with respect to the workpiece positioning member (14) at a predetermined distance between a first position to cut joint members in one workpiece (62) and a second position to cut complementary joint members in another workpiece (64). This arrangement permits accurate routing of rounded or square finger joints or other types of uniform, spaced joints as determined by the template (2) being used. Moving the template (2) with respect to fixed workpiece positioning members (14) means that no adjustment of the positioning members (14) or workpieces (62,64) is necessary between cutting of complementary joint members on separate workpieces (62,64) which tends to result in more accurate cutting of the joints. In addition, there is disclosed an adjustable guidebush assembly (85) for use with the template (2) to vary the tightness of fit of the joint members.

Abstract: A dynamically reconfigurable frequency division multiplexer and modulator (40) accepts multiple input signals (C 1 -C N ), each of which is individually time division multiplexed. Each input signal (C 1 -C N ) is used to modulate a carrier signal (42 1 -42 N ) having a unique frequency. Switches (66 1 -66 N ) are used to selectively form one or more groups from the modulated signals (C 1 -C N ), and the signals in each group are frequency division multiplexed by summing them together (70 1 , 70 2 ). In a Personal Communication Service environment, the output (IF 1 , IF 2 ) for each group may be fed to a respective antenna (52 1 , 52 2 ) and the switches (66 1 -66 N ) and carrier signals (42 1 -42 N ) controlled to selectively associate inputs signals (C 1 -C N ), carrier frequencies (42 1 -42 N ) and antennas (52 1 , 52 2 ) to implement antenna diversity operations and compensate for signal degradation due to multipath propagation effects.

Abstract: An augmentation system for an implantable bone prosthesis, such as a femoral component of a knee joint prosthesis, includes an augmenting block having an aperture disposed therein. A collet having an expandable distal end, extending beyond one surface of the augmenting block, is positioned within the aperture. The proximal end of the collet includes a threaded cavity that receives a set screw which is adapted to communicate with the collet to expand and contract the collet. The distal end of the collet is adapted to fit within a mounting cavity of ajoint prosthesis. With the augmenting block placed on the appropriate surface ofthejoint prosthesis, the distal end of the collet is positioned within the mounting cavity. Tightening of the set screw causes the distal end of the collet to expand, thus frictionally and/or mechanically engaging the interior walls of the mounting cavity to firmly secure the augmenting system to the prosthesis.

In one embodiment, the electronic recording and monitoring devices include one or more mechanized robots in human form designed to resemble hockey players. In one embodiment, the robots are suspended from a movable overhead track and power by motorized cars along a variety of controllable skating patterns. The robots are equipped with sensors which, when impacted by a skater, provide measurable data regarding the skater's performance. The overhead tracks from which the robots are suspended may be raised to a position far above the ice surface when robots are not in use. The invention also pertains to a tutorial and interactive computer system for self instruction. An image of a hockey player controlled by the player/student is juxtaposed to or superimposed upon or otherwise contrasted to the image of an "ideal" or "master" hockey player(s) on the computer display. The player/student manipulates the "controlled" image of a hockey player in an effort to emulate the movements of the ideal player.
