Abstract: A prosthesis (10) for a joint of the human body, such as the metacarpophalangeal, knee, or other joint. The prosthesis (10) includes at least a pair of elongated stem members (12, 14) adapted to be inserted into and bonded on two bones (13, 15) which meet to form the joint. The adjacent surfaces of the two stem members (12, 14) form an interface with each other to present the prosthetic joint interface. The two members (12, 14) are interconnected by a pivot mechanism comprised of a rotatable element (30) in a slot (26) in a first of the stem members (12), and an L-shaped pin (46) pivotally coupled to the element (30) and to the second stem member (14) so that the second stem member (14) can pivot relative to the first stem member (12) about three different axes. The mechanism is made so that the pivotal movement of the second stem member (14) relative to the first stem member (12) about any one of the axes can be accomplished without imparting significant torsional or bending loads to the first stem member (12). This assures that the first and second stem members (12, 14) remain implanted in the respective bones at all times.

Granted: 1987-03-18
Abstract: When programming a radio and/or television receiver for future transmissions, problems may occur due to overlapping of the programmed transmissions. For this purpose the individually programmed transmissions are provided with priority data which control the sequence in the event of overlapping transmissions. In the same way given transmissions can also be provided with blocking data which block the reception or reproduction, respectively, thereof. The use of the priority data is particularly efficient when the transmissions are controlled in addition or exclusively by transmitted identification numbers and consequently are only received during the actual transmission time, as then shifts with respect to the planned transmission times cannot be foreseen. Additional possibilities are derived from the storage of data characterizing the type of the transmission, when these data are transmitted simultaneously with the relevant transmission.
