Abstract: A fracture fixation system, particularly for a fracture at the distal end of the radius, in which a buttress pin is secured to a stable bone fragment by a bone screw and washer, and distal ends of the buttress pin are bent out of the plane of the buttress pin to engage and support a distal bone fragment. The legs of the buttress pin are spaced apart more narrowly at a U-shaped bend of the buttress pin where the buttress pin can be engaged by a conventional washer and bone screw and more widely where the bent ends engage the distal bone fragment. The washer has tabs for counter bearing against the legs to prevent spinning of the washer when the bone screw is installed. The washer can also support a fixation element which can be engaged in the distal fragment to provide additional support therefor.

Abstract: In a data processing system for determining intersections between geometric objects, the work is split between a CPU and a stream processor. The intersection determination is controlled by the CPU. Data processing intensive parts of intersection algorithms, such as checking possible overlap of objects, checking overlap of normal fields of objects, approximating the extent of an object, approximating the normal fields of an object, or making conjectures for intersection topology and/or geometry between objects, are run on the stream processor. The results of the algorithmic parts run on the stream processor are used by the part of the algorithms run on the CPU. In cases where conjectures for the computational result are processed on the stream processor, the conjectures are checked for correctness by algorithms run on the CPU. If the correctness check shows that the result found is incomplete or wrong, additional parts of the algorithm are run on the CPU and possibly on the stream processor.
