Abstract: Various implementations described herein relate to a minimally invasive auxiliary tool for knee surgery. The tool comprises a handle in proximal position, a shaft defining an axis, and a shaped tip in distal position. In the tool: the handle, the shaft, and the shaped tip define a channel that connects the proximal end with the distal end of the tool; and the perimeter of the shaped tip comprises a plurality of sectors, wherein each sector is defined by a respective circular arc centred on the axis and wherein the circular arcs that define the various sectors have respective radii that are different the one from the others. Various implementations also include a kit comprising a tool and a bone reamer.

Abstract: Systems and methods for planning location-sensitive probabilistic behavior based evacuation paths, in a building, from source nodes to sink nodes in a network of routes including a plurality of vertices and edges are disclosed. For example, input parameters including layouts, number of evacuees at each source node, transit time, predetermined time period and maximum capacity associated with each edge and vertex are received. Further, weak evacuation schedules at a state of the evacuees are defined based on the layouts of the building, number of evacuees, transit time and predetermined time period. Furthermore, a strong evacuation schedule is defined based on the weak evacuation schedules and maximum capacity associated with each edge and vertex. Moreover, a mapping is defined from the strong evacuation schedule to the weak evacuation schedules to obtain a probabilistic behavior model. Also, an evacuation path is planned, in real-time, based on the probabilistic behavior model.

Abstract: The plant is intended for performing the plasma surface treatment of an alveolar sheet (10) of plastic material having a first and second outer face surface (12, 14) and an inner alveolar surface (16). The plant comprises means able to allow the simultaneous and independent treatment of each of said outer surfaces (12, 14) and inner surface (16) with a respective plasma (96, 98, 100) with which a process fluid is associated, said fluid being deposited on one of said surfaces (12, 14, 16).
