  • Patent number: 10695110
    Abstract: A bone fracture internal fixator for repairing a bone fracture of a femoral neck that allows load to be applied to the associated bone parts evenly, and increases the connecting strength between the femoral head and femoral shaft while minimizing the risk of the femoral head being torn apart by the inner connecting member by increasing the diameter of the inner fixing member. The central axial line of the femoral head is offset from the central axial line of the intramedullary nail placed in the medullary cavity of the femoral shaft. In order to bring the inner fixing member such as a lag screw configured to be inserted through the femoral neck close to the central axial line of the femoral neck, the central axial line of the through hole for receiving the inner fixing member is offset from the central axial line of the intramedullary nail.

  • Patent number: 4628268
    Abstract: A test device for testing an actuator circuit without operating an actuator in the circuit to determine whether the circuit is operating normally comprises a relay input and a relay output which are electromagnetically coupled or optically coupled. The relay input is connected in series with a test circuit power supply for initiating the test and operating the relay output which is connected with an actuator power supply and an actuator. A voltage limiting device is connected in series with the relay output for limiting the magnitude of the voltage supplied to the actuator at testing time so that the actuator is not operated. The test circuit power supply further includes a pulse generating circuit for generating a signal pulse having a pulse width less than a predetermined pulse width normally required to operate the actuator.
