Abstract: A logistics system for carrying out a logistics process. The logistics system having a plurality of automated overhead rack storage and retrieval apparatuses for transporting loads to be transported within the scope of the logistics process. A process zone that is essentially free of storage racks is provided on the floor, and a storage zone is situated above the process zone. A plurality of pick-up or drop-off points at which loads may be picked up or dropped off by the rack storage and retrieval apparatuses is defined along the process zone base area of the process zone. The logistics system may also have a transfer apparatus for transferring the rack storage and retrieval apparatuses.

Abstract: Resorbable medical implants and related methods are disclosed for placement against bone and/or for filling a void such as a void between bones. The resorbable medical implants can be structured and configured as desired, for example, to conform to surfaces of adjacent bones and/or to conform to a desired bone shape for replacement otherwise. Short-term fixation of the resorbable medical implants can advantageously assist in promoting and allowing growth of new bone tissue into the implant as the implant gradually resorbs. The implant can comprise a material that is porous with microscopic and non-microscopic pores. In one aspect, the resorbable implant can be shaped and used as a trapezium bone replacement.
