Publication number: 20060206210Abstract: An artificial joint for a patient includes a joint plateau having a recess including a first dimension and a joint overlay having a projection corresponding to the recess and a second dimension, the second dimension being larger than the first dimension at a body temperature of the patient. The projection is insertable into the recess by virtue of a temperature difference of at least one of the projection and the recess with respect to the body temperature. A contact area is formed between the projection and the recess at the body temperature. At least one of the second dimension and the contact area is determined such that fixation forces exerted on the projection at the body temperature create a state of stress in at least one of the joint overlay and the joint plateau, the state of stress improving at least one of a load-bearing capacity and a durability of the artificial joint.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 9, 2003Publication date: September 14, 2006Applicant: HJS GELENK SYSTEM GMBHInventors: Christian Abicht, Peter Adam, Dietmar Kubein-Meesenburg, Hans Naegerl

Publication number: 20050154533Abstract: A method of determining common three-dimensional structural features of protein surfaces is provided, as is use of representations of these common structures in molecular database searching and in designing focussed molecular libraries. The method is particularly concerned with the analysis and representation of protein surfaces such as b-turns, loops and contact surfaces. In one form, the method identifies common locations and orientations of amino acid side-chains, simplified as C?-C? vectors. In another form, the method identifies common regions of surface charge represented by grid points in three-dimensional space. Further provided are common three dimensional structural features of proteins that can be used to search molecular databases for the purposes of identifying molecules that match these common three dimensional structural features.Type: ApplicationFiled: February 10, 2003Publication date: July 14, 2005Inventors: Mark Smythe, Tran Tran, Darryn Bryant, Stephen Long, Peter Adams
