A dynamic stabilization, motion preservation spinal implant system includes an anchor system, a horizontal rod system and a vertical rod system. The systems are modular so that various constructs and configurations can be created and customized to a patient.

Disclosed is a dynamic rod assembly for intervertebral stabilization that allows for load sharing across vertebrae by providing predetermined compression, distraction and bending. The dynamic rod is based on a first and second rod having a flexible union. The flexible union includes a retaining element for securing the rods in position and a bearing element interposed between a first and second bearing seat permitting the compression, distraction and bending.

Disclosed herein is a plexus of filaments which is composed of paired filaments which travel extensively around one another to form a double helix structure, where each pair of filaments belongs to a group of filaments, traverse at crossing angles to other filaments which belong to at least another group of filaments, thus repetitively crossing the paths of the filament pairs in at least another group of filaments. Also defined within the specifications and claims herein is the linking of the filaments between the different paired groups of filaments, which facilitates the distribution of tension between the filaments within a plexus of filaments. Herein described are plexuses which exhibit greater conformal and constrictive qualities in comparison to the prior art. Also disclosed is a method of producing filament structures for a variety of uses including composite structures, with enhanced structural properties, including but not limited to; tension displacement properties, for use in applications requiring conformal load distribution with minimal weight.

A photovoltaic (PV) module framing and coupling system enables the attachment of PV modules to a roof or other mounting surface without requiring the use of separate structural support members which attach directly to and span between multiple PV modules in a formed PV array. The apparatus provides a parallel coupling for securely interlocking the outside surfaces of parallel frame members together in a side to side arrangement to form an array with improved structural load distribution. The coupling may attach to a slot in the frame at substantially any position along the length of the frame thereby enabling the interconnection of adjacent PV modules along both an x and y axis. The apparatus may further provide a rotating portion and locking portion, mounting brackets for direct connection to a mounting surface, grounding teeth, and a twist-lock engagement means for interlocking and aligning PV modules in the array.

A one-way clutch with an outer race and an inner race is disclosed. One of the races includes at least one pawl and an engagement member for holding the at least one pawl in engagement with ratchet teeth on the other race. The contact surface of the at least one pawl or the ratchet teeth is an arcuate shape for improved load distribution. The arcuate contact surface has a radius of curvature that is greater than a radius of curvature at corners adjacent to the arcuate contact surface.

A suspension system for the main frame of a large dump truck having laterally spaced frame members (10) each associated with a wheel mounting hub (12) the system comprising, for each hub (12), a hollow forward attachment arm (20) supported by a bearing block (21) having a longitudinal journal (23) and a transverse journal (22), the longitudinal journal (23) receiving the attachment arm (20) and the transverse journal (22) receiving the ends of a shaft rigidly secured to the frame members (10) and extending therebetween to define a cross member and a vertically compliant suspension strut comprising a cylinder (41) rigidly attached to a support (28) secured to the frame member (10) and receiving a piston (40) attached to a rear extension (42) from the hub (12) via a bearing which allows each hub (12) to rotate about longitudinal and transverse axes relative to the respective frame member (10). Also disclosed is dump truck body (B) having side walls (61), a floor (62) and an end wall (63), the floor (62) being reinforced by longitudinal reinforcing beams and by only one transverse beam (72). The side walls (61) slope inwardly, the floor (62) slopes downwardly and forwardly and the width of the floor (62) increases towards the rear of the body (B).

In a method for establishment of a connection in a radio communication system, a user terminal selects an operator, based on information on at least one operator of a radio communication system in a country-specific pilot channel, selects a radio communication system based on information on at least one radio communication system in an operator-specific pilot channel for the selected operator and carries out an access to the selected radio communication system for establishment of a connection.

A multi-stage load distributing apparatus is constituted of a preceding stage load distributing apparatus connected to a network, a plurality of latter stage load distributing apparatuses connected to the preceding load distributing apparatus, and one or plural servers connected to each latter stage load distributing apparatus, where, after a request from a client is distributed from the preceding stage load distributing apparatus to either of the latter stage load distributing apparatuses, the request is distributed to either of the servers. The latter stage load distributing apparatus is provided with a load status transmitting unit that transmits a status of the server connected itself to the preceding stage load distributing apparatus, and the preceding stage load distributing apparatus is provided with a dynamic distribution control unit that determines a status of the server based upon transmission information from the load status transmitting unit of the latter stage load distributing apparatus to perform allocation control on a request from the client.
