Title: Asymmetric tibial components for a knee prosthesis
Inventor: WENTORF MARY S S
IPC: A61F2/38
Filed: 2011-07-22
Abstract: An orthopaedic tibial prosthesis includes a tibial baseplate with an asymmetric periphery which promotes proper positioning and orientation on a resected tibia, while also facilitating enhanced kinematics, soft-tissue interaction, and long-term fixation of the complete knee prosthesis. The asymmetric baseplate periphery is sized and shaped to substantially match portions of the periphery of a typical resected proximal tibial surface, such that proper location and orientation is evident by resting the baseplate on the tibia. The baseplate periphery provides strategically positioned relief and/or clearance between the baseplate periphery and bone periphery, such as in the posterior-medial portion to prevent deep-flexion component impingement, and in the anterior-lateral portion to avoid undue interaction between the anatomic iliotibial band and prosthesis components.

Title: Flat roof structure.
Inventor: KRAMER HUBERT CARL BERNFRIED
IPC: E04D11/00
Filed: 1985-05-17
Abstract: An improved flat roof structive is provided comprising a substructure and a plurality of insulating elements which are loosely positioned on the substructure. A corrugated cover member of a substantially rigid material is positioned on the insulating elements at least in an area adjacent the outer perimeter of the roof. The corrugated cover member has downwardly facing channels which extend in a direction generally from an outer perimeter towards the center of a roof. The channels are open at their ends facing the perimeter of the roof and are closed or sealed at their ends facing toward the center of the roof. A strong air flow will create a vacuum under the cover member in wide areas which reduction is greater than the vacuum on the upper surface of the cover member whereby the cover member is pressed downwardly against the insulating elements. Due to the nearly uniform vacuum under the cover member, i.e. on the upper surface of the insulating elements, the resultant force which acts in the direction of lift-off on the insulating elements is nearly zero.

Title: Transonic wing design procedure.
Inventor: BOPPE CHARLES W
IPC: B64C3/00
Filed: 1987-05-29
Abstract: The conventional steps of defining performance requirements of an aircraft wing and conducting general sizing of the wing are followed by the new steps of determining the aerodynamic sweep angle of the wing with respect to an actual location of a shock wave on the wing. A two dimensional Mach number for the wing airfoil is calculated by multiplying the three dimensional Mach number by the cosine of the aerodynamic sweep angle. A two dimensional lift coefficient for the wing airfoil is calculated by dividing the three dimensional lift coefficient by the square of the cosine of the aerodynamic sweep angle. Airfoil shape in two dimensions is determined on the basis of the two dimensions is determined on the basis of the two dimensional Mach number and the two dimensional lift coefficient. The shape of the wing in three dimensions is then defined by placing the airfoil in the wing along an arc constructed by skewed chord lines perpendicular to local sweep lines of the wing at a series of locations along a chord of the wing.

Title: Reconfirmation prior to shock for implantable defibrillation
IPC: A61N1/39
Filed: 1988-09-02
Abstract: A multiprogrammable, telemetric, implantable defibrillator contains a high energy shock system (24) to revert VT/VF's to normal sinus rhythm and a multi-programmable VVI bradycardia support system (28). When the apparatus is in an automatic shock sequence, there are two points of reconfirmation: at the programmed minimum time to shock (64) and after the full charge has been reached, or at thirty seconds (68), whichever comes first. Reconfirmation involves testing the tachycardia detection output (TDO). If the TDO is high, reconfirmation occurs. If the TDO is low, reconfirmation will not occur and the device will subsequently dump the discharge. Two reconfirmations must occur before a shock is delivered to the patient. If the TDO is low at either reconfirmation, the charge will be dumped.
