Title: Method and apparatus for replacing a damaged spinal disc
Inventor: ROSS RAYMOND S
IPC: A61B17/02
Filed: 2004-12-08
Abstract: A method for replacing a damaged spinal disc (10) between first and second vertebrae of a spinal column includes connecting a first mounting member (100) with the first vertebra of the spinal column. An artificial disc (10) is moved between the first and second vertebrae and into engagement with the first mounting member (100) to guide the artificial disc into position between the first and second vertebrae. The artificial disc includes a resilient core (90) having a first surface and a second surface, a first retaining member (20) connected to the first surface of the resilient core (90), and a second retaining member (60) connected to the second surface of the resilient core (90). The first retaining member (20) has an outer surface engageable with a first vertebra of the spinal column and an inner surface facing the first surface of the resilient core (90). The second retaining member (60) has an outer surface engageable with the second vertebra of the spinal column and an inner surface facing the second surface of the resilient core (90). An apparatus for replacing a damaged spinal disc in a spinal column includes a first retaining device (20) connected to the first surface of the resilient core (90). A second retaining device (60) is connected to the second surface of the resilient core (90). The second retaining device (60) has an outer surface engageable with a second vertebra and an inner surface facing the second surface of the resilient core (90).

Title: Method and system for modifying a used hydrocarbon fluid to create a cylinder oil
Inventor: DRAGSTED JORN
IPC: C10M175/00
Filed: 2004-12-07
Abstract: This invention relates to a method (and a corresponding system) of creating a cylinder oil, the method comprising modification of at least one initial fluid (101) by determining the TBN(s) of the at least one initial fluid, determining a desired TBN of a cylinder oil (102) and adjusting the TBN(s) of the at least one initial fluid (101) accordingly by blending the at least one initial fluid (101) with suited additive(s) (103).  In this way, a method (and system) for modifying initial fluid(s) to create a cylinder oil by adjusting TBN is obtained.  This provides significant economical benefits since lubricants that otherwise would have to be disposed of can be re-used as a total-loss cylinder lubricant, Further cylinder oil does not have to be purchased. The oil(s) used to blend the cylinder oil is/are of more consistent quality as it is replenished contrary to the traditional practice which reduces machinery wear, etc. Thus, the replenishment of the initial fluid(s) provides enhanced and consistent performance of the initial fluids resulting in greatly reduced component wear and equipment lifecycle cost. Even further, a more environmentally friendly method/system is provided since waste, in the form of spent oil(s) that is discarded after prolonged use, is reduced as it is converted into a cylinder oil.

Title: Selection of coding models for encoding an audio signal
Inventor: MAKINEN JARI
IPC: G10L19/14
Filed: 2005-04-06
Abstract: The invention relates to a method of selecting a respective coding model for encoding consecutive sections of an audio signal, wherein at least one coding model optimized for a first type of audio content and at least one coding model optimized for a second type of audio content are available for selection.
