Abstract: A biocompatible surgical article is provided for cutting biological tissue or implantation in contact therewith. The surgical article has a composition of tungsten carbide-nickel with a percentage of additional metal carbides present. A typical composition in total weight percentages is WC 85 to 95%, Cr3C2, Mo2C, VC each alone or in combination being present from 0 to 2%, and Ni constituting the remainder. The composition is formed to have a mean grain size of between 200 and 800 nm with a particle dispersion index (PdI) corresponding to (the square of the standard deviation)/(mean grain size) of between 0 and 0.6, and in some embodiments between 0.02 and 0.2.

Abstract: The invention relates to a method of connecting electrical wires, conductors, or connections together by rotating the connector ends in an enclosure to tightly twist the wire ends together and includes a clamping mechanism to prevent the wires from untwisting, becoming loose, or falling out of the enclosure.

Abstract: An electrical contact system includes a contact having a barrel with a wire entry portion having a first diameter, a clip portion having a second diameter, and a cam portion having a second diameter at a first end that tapers to a third diameter at a second end near the wire entry portion. The system also includes a clip positioned in the clip portion of the barrel, wherein ends of inwardly directed tines of the clip are configured to engage the conductor to enable the clip to be drawn onto the cam portion in response to a user pulling the wire after insertion of the conductor through the clip.

Abstract: The present disclosure generally provides oral inserts useful for determining forces experienced by a user, such as a human user, to the head, for example, by measuring one or more of acceleration, velocity, displacement, or rotation. In some aspects, the disclosure provides oral inserts that, when worn properly by a human user, calculate the forces experienced by the user's head with high accuracy. In some aspects, the disclosure provides systems for detecting and calculating forces experienced by the user's head and to determine whether such forces are above a certain threshold indicative of increased concussion risk. In some aspects, the disclosure provides methods for calculating forces experienced by the user's head and determining whether such forces are above a certain threshold indicative of concussion.
