Abstract: The method involves taking an x-ray image without a patient with a calibration instrument, registering the image in a navigation system using localization structures on two carriers, removing one carrier from the calibration instrument, making an x-ray image of a patient, comparing the calibration information from the images of the structures on the remaining carrier for both x-ray images and correcting the calibration if there is poor agreement.  The method involves taking an x-ray image without a patient with a calibration instrument (C) in the beam path of an x-ray device and that can be positioned and tracked in a medical navigation system, registering the x-ray image in the navigation system using localization structures on two carriers (3,4), removing one carrier with its localization structures from the calibration instrument, making an x-ray image of a patient, comparing the calibration information from the images of the structures on the remaining carrier for both x-ray images and correcting the calibration if there is poor agreement. Independent claims are also included for the following: a calibration instrument for navigation calibration of x-ray image data, a program for implementing the inventive method and a program storage medium.

Abstract: Various enhancements are provided to a pushbutton lock to enhance its security. One is the provision of button tips that are mounted on the ends of the button assemblies and spring-loaded to protrude from the face of the lock, regardless of whether the underlying button is "in" or "out". By this arrangement, a bystander cannot readily see the button combination by the pattern of depressed buttons. This arrangement also reduces tactile feedback between the underlying button assembly and the externally available button tips, increasing resistance to pick attacks. A further enhancement is the provision of button bars between adjacent pairs of button tips. Whenever any of the button tips is manually depressed, the corresponding button bar is pressed into engagement with, and prevents movement of, a member that must be moved in order to unlock the lock. This arrangement further increases lock security by preventing an attacker from experimentally pressing buttons and judging the tactile effect thereon in attempted unlockings of the lock. <IMAGE>

Abstract: The present invention relates to a punch (30) and punch assembly (2) for use in a tool (1) for joining ductile materials, such as metal sheets (7,8), in a lance joint or a clinch joint. The punch (30) has a punch body (31) formed around a punch axis (5). Two punch tips (34,34') extend in opposite directions from the punch body (31) along the punch axis (5). The punch body has one or more load engagement features (41,41') by which a punch force for joining the ductile materials (7,8) is imparted to the punch body (31). When one punch tip (34) becomes worn, the punch (30) can be removed from a punch holder (25), inverted and rejoined to the punch holder (25) so that the other of the punch tips (34') can be used to join ductile material (7,8) <IMAGE>

Abstract: A wrapping apparatus for wrapping a continuous elongated article (26), such as a continuous stack of interfolded paper towels, includes a web supply section (22) that supplies a pair of continuous webs of wrapping material, and a wrapping section for applying the continuous pair of webs about the article. The web supply section (22) includes a pair of web supply stations (28a,28b) for each web of wrapping material (30), and a source of wrapping material, such as a supply roll, is located at each web supply station. The web supply section includes a splicing mechanism (62) for each pair of web supply stations, for splicing together the trailing end of a web from an exhausted supply roll of wrapping material with the leading end of a web from a fresh supply roll of wrapping material, to provide a continuous web of wrapping material to the wrapping section (24). The web supply section includes a festoon-type web storage mechanism in which the web downstream of the splicing mechanism is trained about a series of rollers in a serpentine path. The rollers are movable toward and away from each other, e.g. by mounting one set of rollers to a movable frame, to enable the web to be continuously supplied to the wrapping section during the splicing operation, which maintains the web ends stationary during splicing. The webs (30,34) of wrapping material are applied to the elongated article (26) such that side areas of the webs overlap each other, and adhesive such as hot glue is applied between the overlapping areas of the webs. A pressure application assembly (186) applies pressure to the overlapping areas of the webs (30,34) to even out the adhesive, and the wrapped elongated article is discharged from the wrapping section through a discharge passage (150) which includes a cooling assembly (204) for extracting heat from the seal between the overlapping webs. The wrapped elongated article is then discharged from the wrapping section for subsequent processing. <IMAGE>

Abstract: A valve system including an aortic valve (10) and a holder. The holder includes a holder body (40), which has a central portion, engageable with a holder handle (20), and downwardly extending leg portions (42A, B, C) that engage the valve in the areas between the commissure posts (16, 17, 18). The central portion of the holder further includes a spool located between the commissure posts, rotatable by an attached handle. Rotation of the spool draws in a tensile member (26) passing through the commissure posts, drawing the commissure posts inward toward the spool. The tensile member passes through guides formed in the holder, configured such that they define the maximum available inward deflection of the commissure posts at the point at which the portions of the tensile member between the commissure posts assume straight configurations.
