Abstract: Methods, devices and compositions for fusing adjacent vertebrae, and otherwise localizing bone growth, are provided. In one form of the invention, a method for fusing adjacent vertebrae includes preparing a disc space for receipt of an intervertebral disc implant in an intervertebral disc space between adjacent vertebrae, inserting the implant into the intervertebral disc space and providing an osteoinductive composition that includes an osteoinductive factor in a pharmaceutically acceptable carrier. The carrier is advantageously substantially impermeable to efflux of the osteoinductive factor and is released as the carrier is resorbed or biodegraded. Preferred carriers include a hardened, resorbable carrier, such as a calcium phosphate cement that retains at least about 50% of the osteoinductive factors greater than about 2 days. Preferred osteoinductive factors are growth factors and include bone morphogenetic proteins and LIM mineralization proteins. In alternative forms of the invention, the method may be performed without utilization of a load-bearing spinal implant by disposing the osteoinductive composition in the disc space. The method is advantageously performed on lumbar vertebrae by a posterior approach. Intervertebral fusion devices and methods for their preparation are also provided.

collar (3) of the hub dynamo (30) is formed out of iron, and members other than
an ordinary magnetic circuit contributing to generating power are
formed out of a nonmagnetic material. It is possible to easily
manufacture the hub dynamo (30), to dispense with a yoke which is required
in the conventional hub barrel (4) formed out of aluminum alloy and to
decrease material cost and the number of assembly steps accordingly.
Further, it is possible to prevent a disadvantage, i.e., to prevent a
magnetic circuit other than the ordinary magnetic circuit from being
formed if the entire hub body is made of iron, to prevent the decrease of
a magnetic flux carried to the ordinary magnetic circuit and the decrease
of power voltage, to reduce cost and to make the hub (30) dynamo small in

Abstract: Method for generation of a database with images of the irises of a number of experimentees, whereby the iris images are scanned in using optoelectronically with pixels having defined colors in a preset pattern. The scanned images are converted to corresponding data files that are normalized and used to form a normalized file from the normalized average values. The files can then be used in illness identification. The method allows illnesses to be identified by comparison of a patient's iris with that of the irises of patients that were known to be suffering from various illnesses and conditions when their irises were scanned and stored in a normalized format in a reference database.

Abstract: Disclosed is a diving mask (1), wherein the mask body (2)
shows, in cross section, a substantially truncated-conic shape
with diverging walls starting from the glass (3) area towards the face-supporting
edge and without undercuts. This allows, to considerably approach the lenses (3) to the face
so as to guarantee a wide visual angle. Moreover
the inner air volume is decreased with consequent less problems caused
by the water pressure, when diving at a certain depth. 
     The walls show preferably two pieces having a different thickness, with a
first piece near the glasses (3), having a greater and substantially uniform
thickness which supports the face and which connects to a second piece,
which is thinner and has a thickness decreasing up to the extreme edge,
to guarantee watertightness, without the need to resort to edges, tongues
or complex embodiments which would involve the need to resort to
complex moulds. 
     This purpose is reached by a diving mask (1), wherein the flat glasses (3) are
positioned sloping with the outer edges placed backwards. 
     By choosing in an appropriate way the glass (3) angular position it is possible
to obtain a view wherein the objects appear with the real sizes and
therefore to have a correct perception of their distance.

Abstract: A system for controlling use and distribution of digital works. The present invention
allows the owner of a digital work to attach usage rights (1450) to their work. The usage rights
define how the individual digital work may be used and distributed (1451). Instances of usage
rights are defined using a flexible and extensible usage rights grammar. Conceptually, a right
in the usage rights grammar is a label associated with a predetermined behavior and conditions
to exercising the right. The behavior of a usage right is embodied in a predetermined set
(1452) of usage transactions steps. The usage transaction steps further check all conditions
(1453-1457) which must be satisfied before the right may be exercised. These usage transaction
steps define a protocol for requesting the exercise of a right and the carrying out of a right.

Abstract: A balloon catheter and stent delivery system for medical treatment of a patient includes a balloon having a pattern of ridges in an initial deflated state. The ridges may cooperate with structural elements of a stent crimped onto the balloon, to increase and enhance longitudinal retention of the stent while the catheter system is advanced or withdrawn. Upon inflation, the balloon recovers to an inflated shape having a cylindrical working portion. The balloon catheter thus provides for uniform expansion of the stent when the balloon is inflated. The present invention also tends to protect the leading or distal end of the stent during advancement, and tends to protect the proximal end of the stent during any withdrawal of the catheter system.
