Abstract: The present invention relates to a cooling mechanism (1), in particular for cooling oil in a motor vehicle, with a housing (2) having a bracket (3), by means of which housing (2) the cooling mechanism (1) is connected to an internal combustion engine, a transmission fluid cooler (10), and an engine oil cooler (7). Pertinent to the invention is that the cooling mechanism (1) is designed in a sandwich-type manner having an intermediate module (11) positioned between the engine oil cooler (7) and the transmission fluid cooler (10), which intermediate module (11) has at least one supply/removal assembly (12) that communicates with the engine oil cooler (7) and has corresponding supply/removal lines or connections.

Abstract: A patellar 3-D guidance tool includes a template. The template includes at least one contact surface for engaging a surface of the patella. The at least one contact surface substantially conforms with the surface associated with the patellar. At least one guide aperture directs movement of a surgical instrument, wherein the shape and/or position of the guide aperture is based, at least in part, on three or more anatomic reference points associated with the patellar.

Abstract: Systems and techniques for isolation of external structures. A vehicle may include a vehicle body and an external structure mounted to the vehicle body. The vehicle may include a plurality of vibration isolator attachment assemblies coupling the structure to the vehicle body at a plurality of pre-selected coupling locations exterior to the structure. The plurality of vibration isolator attachment assemblies may each comprise at least one elastomer isolator.

Abstract: The present invention relates to networked enabled analysis of x-ray images. Also described are devices comprising calibration phantoms; methods of using these devices; methods of formulating databases containing information regarding x-ray images; the databases themselves; and methods of manipulating the information and databases.
