Abstract: A technique for the arthroscopic delivery and fixation of an articular cartilage repair device or implant involves the use of a cannula tube that functions as both a cartilage cutter and a guide to pass instruments into the body arthroscopically. One such instrument is an end-cutting reamer that both prepares the subchondral bone by re-surfacing it down to a specified depth and also simultaneously drills a pilot hole in the subchondral bone to accept the cartilage repair device. A delivery device is utilized to hold and deliver the cartilage repair device to the delivery site.

Abstract: A package case is structured by a plurality of substantially identical and flat frames stacked on one another. Flat laminate cells (accumulator cells) are individually accommodated in the frames and stacked on one another, so that the number of flat laminate cells (accumulator cells) can readily be changed simply by increasing/decreasing the number of frames to be stacked to meet energy needs and the like. The accumulator device is segmented using the plurality of flat frames, so that externally applied impacts can readily be dispersed and the impact transmitted to the flat laminate cells (accumulator cells) can be reduced without reinforcing the accumulator device 1 with more than necessary strength.

Abstract: When an interruption of an AC power supply occurs, an interruption detection circuit (20) detects the interruption to output a detection signal (SI) ("H" level). In response to input of the detection signal (SI), a coupling unit (10) electrically couples power supply nodes (N0, N1). Accordingly, based on electric charge stored by capacitors (7, 8), a low voltage (VCCL) can be supplied for a predetermined period of time. Using the electrolytic capacitors already provided in the circuitry, supply of the voltage can be continued for a predetermined period of time and thus the occupied area can be reduced.

Abstract: Described herein is a humanized antibody to vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF). Also described herein is a method for rapidly producing and identifying framework mutations which improve the binding of humanized antibodies to their congnate antigens. In a preferred embodiment, non-human CDRs are grafted onto a human V 1   K I-V  H III framework. Random mutagenesis of a small set of critical framework residues is also performed followed by monovalent display of the resultant library of antibody molecules on the surface of filamentous phage. The optimal framework sequences are then identified by affinity-based selection. Optionally, the selected antibodies can be further mutated so as to replace vernier residues which sit at the V L -V H  interface by residues which match the non-human parent antibody. The methods described herein can be applied to any non-human antibody. Accordingly, humanized antibodies are provided.

Abstract: Fibre linear tensile elements 2 are strung between the floor slab 11 and the roof 12 of a building 1. Each fibre linear tensile element has a structural core 21 of polymeric fibres or filaments which can accommodate the tensioning of the fibre linear tensile element. The core 21 is covered by a sheath 22 of polymeric material. The fibre linear tensile elements 2 carry clamping devices 3 which enable glass panels 4 to be secured in position. Each clamping device 3 clamps in position the corners of four adjacent panels 4 at a particular connection node of the glass wall 80, as shown in Fig. 6. Gaskets 78 are applied to fill the inter-panel joints. 
     Each fibre linear tensile element 2 may include a central optical fibre 23 for detecting any reduction in the tension during use. The tension of the fibre linear tensile elements 2 is monitored by a monitoring device 81 which can produce an appropriate alarm signal. 
     Because of the polymeric structural nature of the fibre linear tensile elements 2, they will permit the curtain wall 80 to flex to some extent and their tensioning will only vary slightly in response to changes in ambient temperature. The polymeric material is also good at resisting surface corrosion. 
     The fibre linear tensile elements 2 with the clamping devices 3 prefitted are delivered to site on pallets 71, so as to reduce the amount of work required on site. A laser level 74 may be used to ensure that the clamping devices 3 are positioned at their correct heights, before the glass panels 4 are fitted.
