Abstract: There are provided tracker coupling apparatus for coupling an optical tracker to a patient anatomy. An apparatus comprises a body having a bone coupling interface located at a first end of the body, for coupling the apparatus to the bone, and a second end that comprises a tracker coupling interface to couple to the tracker. The second end is connected to the first end by an extension member to laterally space the tracker coupling interface from the bone coupling interface, e.g. to move the tracker away from an incision. In a resection guided embodiment, an apparatus comprises a body having a tracker coupling interface on an upper surface and a plurality of bone engaging projections extending from an under surface. Some projections are configured for positioning the platform in a same repeatable mounting position. The mounting position is defined by a cut line and an impression defined by the platform.

Abstract: The present invention is a method and apparatus by which power is controlled in a hybrid electric vehicle such that high levels of performance and efficiency are realized. The present invention includes a method and apparatus developed to optimize the use of energy in a hybrid vehicle application from the hybrid energy storage device. The method and apparatus of the present invention is particularly useful with energy storage devices there the energy state, such as the state of charge, is readily determined by an easily measured attribute. Ultracapacitors and hydraulic storage cylinders are examples of the types of energy storage devices to which the present invention may be applied.
