Abstract: La présente invention concerne une agrafeuse chirurgicale comprenant un ensemble d'outils, ou sur laquelle peut être monté un ensemble d'outils; laquelle agrafeuse est conçue pour déformer une multitude d'attaches chirurgicales à travers un tissu et pour attacher un tissu. Cette agrafeuse chirurgicale comprend un logement présentant une poignée fixe et une poignée de serrage pouvant être montée sur le logement. La poignée de serrage peut être déplacée sélectivement par rapport à la poignée fixe depuis une première position espacée par rapport à la poignée fixe vers une seconde position plus près de la poignée fixe, pour assurer le serrage du tissu. Une fourche adaptatrice est conçue pour se translater à l'intérieur du logement à l'actionnement de la poignée de serrage. La fourche adaptatrice coopère mécaniquement avec une vis-mère pour actionner l'ensemble d'outils afin de serrer le tissu. L'agrafeuse chirurgicale comprend également un ensemble de commande pour faire pivoter une tige qui s'engrène mécaniquement dans la vis-mère. Lors de l'activation sélective de l'ensemble de commande, la tige fait pivoter la vis-mère pour faire avancer un écrou de galet et enfonce un piston de mise à feu dans l'ensemble d'outils pour déformer les attaches chirurgicales à travers le tissu et pour attacher le tissu.

Abstract: The use of biologic and/or biologically reabsorbable materials to provide temporary stability after a surgical joint procedure is provided. Exemplary embodiments of the invention provide biologic and/or biologically reabsorbable cam and/or post linings mounted to respective knee prosthesis components. Such linings are reabsorbed after a time sufficient for patient tissue formation to provide permanent stability. Likewise, the invention has application in any joint reconstruction where the integrity of the stabilizing tissue has been compromised by injury or as a result of the surgical procedure itself. Further aspects of the present invention include using biologic and/or biologically reabsorbable materials loaded with agents that may promote tissue formation, fight infection, and promote clotting. Still further aspects of the present invention are directed to the use of biologically reabsorbable snaps or other fasteners to attach a lining to the femoral component and/or the tibial component.

Abstract: Methods and apparatus for removing blocking effect in a motion picture decoder. Boundary pixel values of a current block and corresponding adjacent block are extracted. A mean value for the resulting difference values between the extracted pixel values of the current and adjacent blocks is calculated. The calculated mean value is limited between - 1/2 and 1/2 quantization step size. The limited mean value is added to the each pixel values of the current block to generate a resulting output. In another aspect, absolute values for the resulting difference values between extracted pixel values of the current and adjacent block is calculated. The calculated absolute values are compared with the respective difference values and threshold level to determine whether the current block contains an edge. The current block without the edge is selected, filtered, and outputted, in which the blocking effect due to a quantization error is removed without having distortion to the original data. <IMAGE>

Abstract: A method for calculating total left ventricular (LV) volume during a cardiac cycle includes estimating the LV volume using only endocardial contours in a cardiac 3D image that was acquired at end diastole (ED), i.e. the moment at which the heart is fully relaxed. These contours are manually specified or (semi-)automatically derived. Based on these contours and on the pixel intensity in all other images, the LV volume is estimated based on intensity variations within the area enclosed by the contours (ED LV blood pool) . These variations are proportional to the change in size of the ventricle. Hence ventricle volume and other derivable cardiac functionality parameters as well as the phase in the cardiac cycle are derived.
