Abstract: A device includes an acromion portion sized and shaped to replicate functions of the native acromion, and a fixation portion connected to the acromion portion, the fixation portion including a first arm portion and a second arm portion spaced apart from the first arm portion, wherein the first arm and second arm portions are positioned such that, when the device is positioned such that the acromion portion is in a native position of the absent native acromion, the first arm portion overlays a superior face of a scapular spine of the scapula and the second arm portion overlays an inferior space of the scapular spine of the scapula, wherein each of the first arm portion and the second arm portion includes at least one screw fixation point extending therethrough and configured to receive a screw therein so as to secure the device to the scapula.

Abstract: A device for cleaning a cosmetic brush that has bristles and a liquid sensitive section. The device includes an ultrasonic bath and a lid. The ultrasonic bath is capable of holding a cleaning liquid in a reservoir. It also has an upper surface on which the lid can be placed. The lid includes one or more slots capable of receiving the cosmetic brushes and positioning them in a substantially vertical position. The slots also serve to hold the bristles in the cleaning liquid while leaving the liquid sensitive sections of the brushes substantially dry.

Abstract: A generation apparatus for generating power from subsea currents is described. The generation apparatus includes a housing, at least one turbine, the/each turbine having an axis of rotation and an inlet, at least one guide vane adapted to guide an incoming flow of fluid towards the/each turbine inlet, the flow of fluid, in use, approaching the apparatus in a direction substantially perpendicular to at least one turbine axis and at least one generator for converting rotation of the/each turbine into power.

Abstract: Commercial titanium dioxide pigments to be used in paper laminates have been prepared by a method which involves calcining a coated pigment. A new pigment having an excellent stability to degradation by light when used in such laminates is produced without calcination of the coated pigment.The pigment comprises rutile titanium dioxide particles having an inner coating containing cerium and phosphate radicals and an outer coating containing aluminium and phosphate radicals and optionally hydrous alumina.The pigment preferably contains a surface stabilizer such as a fluoride, preferably calcium fluoride. Amounts of cerium phosphate are from 0.05% to 1% (as CeO.sub.2) and of aluminium phosphate between 0.05% and 5% by weight (as Al.sub.2 O.sub.3) on TiO.sub.2.
