  • Patent number: 12290411
    Abstract: A retractor assembly may include a retractor removably coupled with a retractor handle. The retractor may include a handle connection feature, a retractor shaft, an arcuate projection having a convex retractor surface and a cutting shield surface, and a guide projection having an aperture shaped to receive at least a portion of a femoral condyle therein to position the retractor relative to a tibial plateau. The retractor handle may include a handle portion and a retractor connection feature. The retractor may be placed on a lateral side of a medial collateral ligament of a knee joint to retract the medial collateral ligament away from a tibial plateau of the knee joint and protect the medial collateral ligament during a tibial plateau resection procedure.

  • Patent number: 12226108
    Abstract: A gap gauge is disclosed for facilitating an arthroplasty procedure on a first bone and a second bone of a patient. The gap gauge may include a first plate positionable in contact with the first bone, a second plate positionable in contact with the second bone. The second plate may be displaced from the first plate by a displacement. The gap gauge may further include a separator connected to the first plate and the second plate, a separation indicator coupled to the separator and configured to indicate the displacement, and a balance indicator connected to at least one of the first plate and the second plate. The balance indicator may indicate a balance status between the first plate and the second plate. The separator can be actuated to adjust the displacement.

  • Patent number: 11276997
    Abstract: The present disclosure relates to a method of integration and compensation in a protection relay. The method may include the protection relay: receiving a measured signal from a Rogowski coil and converting the measured signal to digitized samples, where the measured signal is a differentiated current signal over time; iteratively computing integrated current data from the digitized samples using a first digitized function to obtain integrated value; iteratively computing a compensated current data from the integrated current data using a second digitized function to remove a DC component in the integrated current data; evaluating the compensated current data to identify a fault condition; generating a trip signal on identification of a fault condition to operate a switch to electrically disconnect to protect the power equipment. The steps of integration and compensation may be performed in time window that is within the time period of the measured signal.
