  • Patent number: 11690725
    Abstract: A method for producing a tailor-made implant intended to be implanted at an implantation site of a damaged bone part, the method comprising a step in which a 3D representation of a standard implant is superposed on a 3D representation of a damaged bone part by positioning said standard implant on an implantation site of the damaged bone part, in order, if necessary, to modify the dimensions and/or to adjust the shape of said standard implant, and also, if necessary, to modify the outer surface of said standard implant, which may be either the impression or substantially the impression of the outer surface of said bone part in the state prior to superpositioning of said implant, when the geometry of the damaged bone part is intended to be retained, or a functional outer surface, when said tailor-made implant is intended to be used at the interface of two bone parts cooperating with each other.

  • Patent number: 10806019
    Abstract: A cyclotron for accelerating a beam of charged particles and extracting the beam. The cyclotron includes a vacuum chamber; a target support element sealed and coupled to the vacuum chamber and including a tubular channel leading to a target; first energy specific extraction kit including a first stripper assembly with a stripper located at a first stripping position for stripping charged particles at a first energy and a second energy specific extraction kit for driving modified charged particles of second energy along a second extraction path towards a target holder, wherein the energy specific extraction kit includes: a second stripper assembly with a stripper located at a second stripping position for stripping charged particles at a second energy and an insert for modifying an orientation of the tubular channel to match the second extraction path such that the modified charged particles of second energy intercept the target holder.

  • Patent number: 10383206
    Abstract: A cyclotron for accelerating charged particles includes: a first and second superconducting main coils arranged parallel to one another on either side of a median plane; and at least a first and second field bump modules arranged on either side of the median plane, and extending circumferentially over a common azimuthal angle for creating a local magnetic field bump in the main magnetic field. Each of the field bump modules includes at least one superconducting bump coil locally generating a broad magnetic field bump having a bell-shape defined by a first gradient of the z-component in a radial direction, r. Each of the field bump modules further includes at least one superconducting bump shaping unit positioned such as to locally steepen the first gradient produced by the at least one superconducting bump coil, when said at least one superconducting bump shaping unit is activated.
