Abstract: The alignment device serves for the positioning and insertion of osteosynthetic fasteners, in particular locking screws or bolts, in the base part of an intramedullary nail implanted in a bone, with an alignment bracket detachably connected to the top end of the intramedullary nail, and with a longitudinal alignment bar attached to the bracket by means of a coupling unit, the bar having a first section and a second section. In the first section, the alignment bar is detachably and movably connected to a coupling unit. By way of the coupling unit, the alignment bar is also detachably and pivotably connected to the alignment bracket. The second section of the alignment bar is provided with at least one guide hole serving to permit the positioning of a bore for locking the base of the intramedullary nail in a bone.

Abstract: A logic module is disclosed for construction in an integrated digital circuit for promoting testing of the integrated circuit. A latch module is provided for functioning as a latch, as a back-coupled shift register, and in one embodiment of the invention as a linear shift register. The latch module is formed of a plurality of basic cells each of which has a flip-flop with associated logic gates, one of which is an exclusive OR gate. The latch module also has an input, parallel data inputs and parallel data data outputs. For functioning in the back-coupling mode, an exclusive OR gate is connected between at least one of the flip-flops and the input to the latch module.
