  • Patent number: 4614181
    Abstract: A hinge for knee joint bandages comprising two elongated flat links (3,4) connected for mutual pivoting. At the end portion of one link (4) there are four holes (19-22) distributed along a circular arc symmetrically in relation to the longitudinal axis. A stop pin (16) is inserted in one of the holes to limit the end position of the pivoting movement of the links. The stop pin cooperates with a circular arcuate slot of the other link (3). The slot is greater than 180.degree. and is symmetrically located in relation to the longitudinal axis of the link (3), whereby the hinge can be used either on the inside or the outside of the knee for the adjustment of the desired maximum angular pivoting of the knee.

  • Patent number: 4521966
    Abstract: The invention relates to a method and apparatus for determining the position of the center of a circular object. The object has a known diameter and is placed on a preferably flat surface. A sensor for indicating presence of an object proximate it is moved over the surface in a predetermined path comprising a number of line portions extending over the surface. The greatest distance between two adjacent line portions being less than the radius of the object. The position of the sensor in the path is measured at two points where the line portion intersects the outer contour of an object. The center of the object is determined on the basis of the two points.
