A system and method for knee arthroplasty procedures, using a novel leg rotation fixture to enable the leg mechanical axis, the tibia and the femur to be mutually disposed such that the load bearing, mechanical axis of the leg runs through the center of the knee joint. A measurement gauge is provided for mounting on the tibia and for aligning a baseplate in a known position on the tibia. This baseplate supports an X-ray target plate in a known position relative to the tibia, used in determining the mechanical axis, and an optional surgical robot, used to perform tibial and femoral cuts. The position of the femur relative to the robot may be determined from X-ray imaging of the pelvic region after attachment to the baseplate of an additional target extending to the pelvic region. The system enables improvement in the accuracy of knee arthroplasty procedures.

A variety of improvements to the vibrating devices for dental remodeling are provided, including improved bite plate designs that accommodate common patient bite structure, a connector for a bite plate, a sizing tray for same, as well as better motors providing improved performance characteristics for an extraoral vibrator, and a completely intraoral vibrating dental plate with very thin cross section.

Described herein are guidewire positioning and support devices, method for using them, method of treating a subject using them, and systems including such guidewire positioning and support devices. These devices typically include a rotatable distal tip region that may include one or more wedges. The wedges may be extendable from the rotatable distal tip. The distal end of the device may be steerable, and may be steered while still rotating the distal end of the device. The wedges (which may include sharp forward-cutting blades and blunt lateral portions) can be extended from the distal housing and locked in any position (extended, partially extended or retracted) and rotated clockwise and/or counterclockwise while locked in a retracted, extended or partially extended position. The distal region of the device may also be controllable steered from the proximal end of the device. Systems including these guidewire support catheters are also described, as are method of using them, including methods of treating chronic total occlusions.

The present invention relates to immunological adjuvants comprised of the N-formyl methionyl peptide fMLP. FMLP, when used as an adjuvant in accordance with the present invention, provides for an immune response to suboptimal doses of recombinant antigens.

A method and apparatus for delivering intravenous drugs to a patient provides for remote loading and programming of IV pumps that may be shipped in a loaded and programmed configuration to a remote site for use with the patient. A special carrier may be provided for pneumatic delivery of the preloaded pump. Password enabled customizing of pump features according to specific user's need may be provided to prevent undesired changing of the pump parameters at the remote site.

An electrically-driven mobile body which can be given a boosting charge with electric power supplied by a single power supply apparatus together with other electrically-driven mobile bodies having different charging conditions and which can cool a charging system thereof without any coolant from the outside, as well as a boosting charge method for an electrically-driven mobile body for the same purpose.

An electrically-driven mobile body (50) which includes a power storing means (85) storing DC power supplied by an external power supply apparatus (10) and is driven with DC power stored in the power storing means (85), includes: a charge controlling means (80) for controlling DC power supplied by the power supply apparatus (10) in such a way that the DC power has a voltage and an electric current suitable for giving the power storing means (85) a boosting charge; and a cooling means (60) for cooling a charging system of the power storing means (85) forcedly with DC power supplied by the power supply apparatus (10).

A satellite signal splitter is proposed which can transmit a received signal of a desired polarized wave with one cable to each terminal side when transmitting to plural terminal sides the received signals from a satellite receiving antenna which emits the received signals of a vertically polarized wave and a horizontally polarized wave. The vertically and horizontally polarized-wave received signals transmitted to input terminals 22V and 22H are split into four by splitting circuits 26V and 26H, respectively. The four split signals are transmitted to switching circuits 28a to 28d. In the switching circuits 28a to 28d, in accordance with a voltage level (11V or 15V) of a polarized-wave switching signal transmitted from terminal units connected to output terminals 24a to 24d, either the vertically or horizontally polarized-wave signal is selected and emitted from the output terminals 24a to 24d. Also, the polarized-wave switching signal (11V or 15V) is transmitted via a voltage synthesizing portion 30, choke coils LV, LH and the like from the input terminals 22V and 22H to a corresponding receiving portion of a receiving antenna.

An IR laser bite plate for orthodontic remodeling is disclosed, and the device can be combined with vibrational forces.

A stream of process liquid is treated while flowing through in a horizontally elongated chamber having an open top. Longitudinally elongated electrode blades are aligned with the longitudinal dimension of the chamber. An overhead disbursement chamber supplies a sweeping air stream over the open top of the chamber for removing foam and gas reaction by-products. The electrode blades are separated and held at a desired spacing by small portable guides located below and above the blades.

A tractor comprises an electronic tractor controller. A baler comprises a crop receiving means, a baling chamber, a rear door, a rear door actuator, a bale size sensor associated with the baling chamber, and an electronic baler controller. The baler controller is operable to submit a halt signal to the tractor controller when a bale size signal provided by the bale size sensor indicates that a bale has reached a size corresponding to a predetermined size. The tractor controller then halts the tractor and the bale is wrapped. The rear door is opened automatically after the bale has been wrapped, but only if an obstacle sensor detects no obstacle in a detection zone behind the baler.

The present invention provides for the integration of a an infrastructure management software (IMS) asset tracking system, an IMS task manager (ITM) and an IMS virtual container or virtual container feature to alleviate issues such as personnel scheduling issues, lost asset issues and service outages within a data center.
