Abstract: A hinge which can be included on a brace is disclosed. The hinge can include a first arm, a second arm, and a hinge plate. The first and second arms can be connected to the hinge plate for rotation about first and second axes, respectively. The hinge plate can include an internally threaded aperture. The hinge can also include a force application assembly and an adjustment assembly. The adjustment assembly can include an externally threaded lead screw engaged with the internally threaded aperture, and having a medial end connected to the force application assembly and a keyed bore. The adjustment assembly can include a drive key having a keyed shaft slidingly engaged with the keyed bore and a knob connected to the drive key such that rotation of the knob causes displacement of the force application assembly.

Abstract: A method for monitoring an optical lens manufacturing process at a first lens manufacturing side, the method including: a manufacturing data collecting, during which sets of manufacturing data indicative of at least a manufacturing process parameter and/or a manufacturing device parameters and/or an operator parameter and/or an environment parameter at the first lens manufacturing side are collected; a manufacturing information generating, during which at least one manufacturing information indicative of at least a manufacturing process parameter and/or a manufacturing device parameters and/or an operator parameter and/or an environment parameter at a second lens manufacturing side is generated based on the collected manufacturing data.

Abstract: A cosmetic product having a pH value of 3.0 to 5.2 is disclosed that is specifically suitable for treating aged skin and irritations occurring there. The cosmetic product is preferably a barrier-stabilizing lotion or a barrier-stabilizing cream that contains a dry extract obtained from lady's mantle (Alchemilla).

Abstract: A trocar comprises a retention cannula comprising an inverted or incised retention pattern disposed thereon. Embodiments of the incised cannula exhibit reduced tissue trauma compared with screw-threaded cannula, improved fixation and/or retention compared with an unthreaded cannula, and good sealing between the cannula and the incision.
