Abstract: An apparatus and method of fabricating a replacement prosthesis component for implantation into a patient by receiving a diagnostic scan of an implanted prosthesis component in the patient. A controller converts the diagnostic scan into a three-dimensional model of the implanted prosthesis. The controller automatically matches the three-dimensional model with a selected replacement part model that mates with the implanted prosthesis. The controller prepares a three-dimensional printing model of the selected replacement part model to a three-dimensional printer for fabricating a matching replacement part.

Abstract: A tethered flight control system for a small unmanned aircraft. The tethered flight control system can have a mobile base, a tether arm, a tether spout, and a remote-controlled winch that can hold a tether line, which can be connected to a small unmanned aircraft. By controlling the tether line using the winch, the small unmanned aircraft can be prevented from flying out of range or out of control. The winch can have a high-speed motor configured to remove substantially all slack from the tether line while the small unmanned aircraft is in flight. The winch can be controlled from a hard-wired winch remote, which can take the form of a foot pedal device having one or more foot pedals. The tether line can be attached to the small unmanned aircraft through a tether attachment apparatus, which can have a travel bar, two or more rotor protectors, and a mounting section.

Abstract: The present invention concerns a device for use in an aircraft fuel pressure sensor line. More particularly, but not exclusively, this invention concerns a fuel pressure sensor line connecting an aircraft fuel pump to a pressure sensor. The invention also concerns a fuel pressure sensor line reservoir for use with a sensor line connecting an aircraft fuel pump to a pressure sensor. An aircraft fuel pump system comprises an aircraft fuel pump and a pressure sensor connected the aircraft fuel pump via a sensor line. The sensor line includes a reservoir located between the aircraft fuel pump and the pressure sensor. The reservoir acts to prevent liquid contacting the pressure switch when the fuel pump is not active.

Abstract: A load control system controls an electrical load provided in a space and comprises a load control device and a first occupancy sensor mounted to a movable structure (e.g., a door) and a second occupancy sensor mounted to a fixed surface (e.g., a wall or a ceiling). The load control device controls the load in response to the wireless control signals received from the occupancy sensors. The first occupancy sensor transmits an occupied wireless control signal to the load control device in response to detecting the movement of the movable structure. The second occupancy sensor transmits an occupied wireless control signal to the load control device in response to detecting the occupancy condition. The load control device turns on the load in response to receiving the occupied control signal from the first occupancy sensor, and turns off the load in response to receiving vacant control signals from both of the occupancy sensors.

Abstract: A load control system controls a lighting load provided in a space and comprises a load control device and one or more occupancy sensors. The load control device controls the load in response to the wireless control signals received from the occupancy sensors. Each occupancy sensor transmits an occupied control signal to the load control device in response to detecting an occupancy condition in the space and a vacant control signal to the load control device in response to detecting a vacancy condition. The load control device adjusts the intensity of the load to a first intensity in response to receiving the occupied control signal from at least one of the occupancy sensors, and adjusts the intensity of the load to a second intensity less than the first intensity (e.g., a non-off intensity) in response to receiving vacant control signals from both of the occupancy sensors.

Abstract: Aspects of efficient signal compression format schemes are described. In various embodiments, samples are grouped into one or more blocks. One or more scaling factors are determined for the samples in the one or more blocks. In some cases, a block scaling factor is determined for each block. Further, in some embodiments, if a unique scaling factor exists among samples in a block, the position of the sample is identified. In turn, sign extension bits are scaled from the one or more blocks, and samples in the one or more blocks are quantized. In one embodiment, based on a number of sign extension bits scaled from the block and whether the unique scaling factor exists, a scaling code word is encoded for the block. In other embodiments, implicity, adaptive scaling, and/or adaptive quantization, for example, are used to increase the performance of the compression schemes.

Abstract: A two-wire load control device such as a dimmer switch for controlling the amount of power delivered from an AC power source to an electrical load such as a high-efficiency lighting load may be provided. The load control device may include a bidirectional semiconductor switch coupled between the source and the load and a controller operable to control the bidirectional semiconductor switch. The load control device may also include a front accessible trimming actuator to adjust a low end intensity setting of the load control device. The trimming actuator may be coupled to the controller such that the controller may control the bidirectional semiconductor switch appropriately. Additionally, the trimming actuator may include indicia to help a user readily identify the proper low end intensity setting.

Abstract: A dual mobility femoral head construct has a secure acetabular shell received within an acetabular recess formed in a pelvis. An implantable prosthetic device is implantable after a failure of an originally installed articular head insert of an acetabular cup assembly. A hemispherical liner is formed from a cast cobalt-chromium alloy for thinness and elasticity. At least three spacers are annularly displaced about an outer diameter of the hemispherical liner to define a uniform cement thickness with the secure acetabular shell. Web shaped depressions are formed circumferentially in the outer diameter of the hemispherical liner to receive cement to resist lever out forces and to secure the cement bond with the secure acetabular shell. A replacement articular head insert is then received for dual mobility rotational movement in an inner diameter of the hemispherical liner. A femoral head implant is received for articulating movement in the articular head insert.
