Abstract: An apparatus comprising vertebral anchoring elements, e.g. a bone screw (1) or a hook (2), with a threaded cylindrical portion (5) and a locking plate (7). A nut (8) may be screwed onto the threaded cylindrical portion (5) to tighten the tightening portion of a slide (4) on a rigid connecting rod (3) with a circular cross-section. The rod (3), the slide (4) and the anchoring element (1, 2) may be sufficiently rigidly connected by means of non-slip projections on the engaged side of the locking plate (7), on the corresponding side of the slide (4), and on the surface thereof which surrounds the rod (3). The stiffness of the apparatus may thus be enhanced, whereby improved support of the vertebrae and easier fitting and adjustment of the apparatus may be achieved.

Abstract: This invention is a modernisation tool during a changeover installation to maintain optimum service to a building by providing evenly distributed hall call routing to old and new controllers (5,7; 13,16). 
     The re-eqipment of the elevators (A,B,C,D,E,F) takes place step by step individually or in groups with minimum intrusion into the old system and with full maintenance of the safety functions that are present. During the time an elevator (D) to be re-equipped is shut down the original not yet re-equipped elevators (N1) as well as the already re-equipped elevators (N2) respond as a single bank, one car per call. 
     To this end, an Interim Traffic Manager (ITM) is placed between the pushbutton fixtures (8) and the old and new controllers (5,7;13,16). When a floor pushbutton (31) is pressed, the microprocessor-based Interim Traffic Manager (ITM) uses an routing algorithm (RA) to decide, whether to send the call to the old or to the new system, in dependence on traffic loading. 
     The Interim Traffic Manager (ITM) is an inexpensive, re-usable unit, which resides on the job site temporarily, and therefore adds no additional costs to the modernisation of an elevator group. Technical knowledge required for its installation is restricted to fixture wiring.

Abstract: An image processing technique especially useful in processing digital radiographic images. A method for finding a histogram region of interest for improved tone scale reproduction of digital radiographic images includes the following steps. A digital radiographic image is randomly sampled (38) with a sample having an appropriate size to delineate an object of interest. Each sample is processed (40) using texture analysis techniques to extract a plurality of texture features. Using the extracted texture features, each sample is classified (42) with a previously trained neural network classifier to determine its class. Last, the pixel values belonging to the same class are accumulated (44) to form separate histograms for each class. Each of the histograms are then used to optimize tone scale reproduction (46).

Abstract: This invention provides for the angular and lateral adjustment of a pair of fixator rods in an infinite number of planes. The angular adjustment member (10) may be rotated about a center axis of the connector such that the connected fixator rods may be angled relative to one another in any plane called for. Similarly, the lateral adjustment (12) may be rotated about the center axis of the connector (10) such that the two fixator rods may be shifted laterally relative to one another in any direction. The adjustable connector (10) provides for the adjustment of the fixator rods after the rods have been connected to the bone pins. Therefore, after a surgeon has reduced and stabilized the fracture, minor adjustments can be carried out to fully align the bone fragments without disconnecting the fixator rods or the bone pins. After all adjustments have been made, a series of locking bolts or pins (20,44,132,116) can be engaged to hold the adjustable connector in a fixed position.

Abstract: A traffic control system comprising video cameras, being positioned above or along a traffic roadway for monitoring a predetermined road or lane segment, is provided with means for continuously recording road images and with selection means for selectively recording images when a vehicle is within sight. 
     The road segment to be monitored is provided with a cross strip, contrasting clearly with the road surface within the viewing sight of the camera(s), and the video cameras are connected to a processor capable of distinguishing this cross strip even when a shadow or light from the headlights of a vehicle is incident on it. A blocking function blocks the selection means when the cross strip is distinguishable, and releases them only when the cross strip, for at least across a section of its length, is indistinguishable. In this manner it is ensured the only images recorded are of an actual vehicle.
