A method for preparing the proximal femur for hip resurfacing with novel stepped cylindrical femoral head osteotomy and central bone channel drilling, leaving an intact collar of cortical bone above the femoral head articular rim.

Abstract: A chair or other piece of furniture can include a built-up frame including at least a portion of a premade plastic chair, such as an off-the-shelf plastic lawn or deck chair. The frame can have a seat and a backrest shaped to accommodate a person. Cushioning material can be installed over the frame. A cover can be installed over the cushioning material. Another kind of frame including plastic can be used instead of the built-up frame. The cover can be affixed to the frame or can be a removable slip cover. The cover can include sports jersey material and can be made from stock unstitched jersey pieces. A drawer, plush ornament, recess, or sports equipment can be provided at a lower supporting portion of the chair. Feet made of sports equipment can be attached to the bottom of the frame. A backrest opening can receive a piece of sports equipment.

Abstract: This invention concerns mainly a handle system with two locking latches (7, 8) called “self-locking”, independent one from the other for locking, but fitted with a single unlocking paddle (6). This system is fitted with indicators, which: detect the door's opening and closing and indicate separately the locking of the two latches (7, 8).

Abstract: A variable hip resurfacing implant which allows for varying configuration options to account for characteristics of underlying degenerative hip joint disease and for both un-cemented and cemented application. The variable hip resurfacing implant generally includes a femoral head portion, bearing surface, outer rim, inner planar surface, central stem, and a central stem threaded hole.

Abstract: Described are tray table assemblies having a table body (12), a support arm (14) comprising a support portion (18) coupled to the table body and a coupling portion (20), a center console (44) comprising a table storage compartment (52) and a track (44), wherein the track (44) is located between the table storage compartment (52) and a location forward of the table storage compartment, and the table storage compartment (52) is located above an armrest support (42), and a linkage comprising a head (28) and a base (30), wherein the head (28) is rotatably coupled to the coupling portion (29) of the support arm (14), and the base (30) is slidingly coupled to the track (40). The table body may configured to slide between a stowed position within the table storage compartment to a raised position and to rotate between the raised position and a deployed position forward of a passenger seat.

Abstract: The invention relates to an aircraft seat attachment (100) including a body (20), a plunger (30), and an activation lever (50). The activation lever (50) includes a locking system (54) adapted to go from an open position corresponding to a free state of the activation lever (50) to a closed position corresponding to a locked state of the activation lever (50). The attachment also enables, in a locked state of said attachment, clamping of a seat rail between at least one boss (22) of said body (20) and the plunger (30), which includes a system (41) for maintaining by friction a force clamping the attachment to the rail in the locked state so that the activation lever (50) does not participate in maintaining said clamping force.
