Abstract: A method of assembling a multilayer panel for use in a heat exchanger includes positioning a frame on a work platform, the frame having two header sections and a middle section, the middle section defining a heat transfer fluid area and each header section defining a header area. The method also includes positioning a heat exchange sheet on the frame across the middle section and each header section, welding the heat exchange sheet to the frame to form a middle weld enveloping the heat transfer fluid area and two outer welds each enveloping a corresponding one of the header areas, and controlling alignment between the frame and the heat exchange sheet during welding.

Abstract: Methods of assembling multilayer heat exchange structures. An example method includes attaching an outer layer to a fluid isolation sheet such that a first fluid channel is defined between the outer layer and the fluid isolation sheet; and selectively attaching the fluid isolation sheet, with the outer layer attached thereto, to a structure defining a second fluid channel that is separated from the first fluid channel by the fluid isolation sheet, wherein an internal seal is selectively formed between the fluid isolation sheet and the structure without forming a seal between the outer layer and the fluid isolation sheet.

Abstract: Methods of assembling a multilayer panel for use in a heat exchanger. An example method includes positioning a frame on a work platform, the frame having two header sections and a middle section, the middle section defining a heat transfer fluid area and each header section defining a frame alignment feature; positioning a heat exchange sheet on the frame across the middle section and each header section, the heat exchange sheet having two sheet alignment features each corresponding to one of the frame alignment features; inserting an alignment pin of the work platform into each pair of corresponding frame and sheet alignment features; and welding the heat exchange sheet to the frame.

Abstract: An orthopedic system to monitor a parameter related to the muscular-skeletal system is disclosed. The orthopedic system includes electronic circuitry, at least one sensor, and a computer to receive measurement data in real-time. The orthopedic system comprises a first plurality of shims of a first type, a second plurality of a second type, a measurement module, and the computer. The measurement module houses the electronic circuitry and at least one sensor. The measurement module is adapted to be used with the first plurality of shims and the second plurality of shims. The measurement module has a medial surface that differs from a lateral surface by shape, size, or contour.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a transbuccal plate holding cannula used in osteofixation procedures. The transbuccal plate holding cannula of the present invention can be releasibly secured to a bone plate such that tools and fasteners may be passed through the plate holding cannula in order to secure the bone plate to a bone.

Abstract: An adjustable fixation clamp having first and second clamp assemblies positioned about a shaft. The clamp assemblies may each have a pair of vise plates. Each pair of vise plates may define at least two receiving portions and insertion portions intersecting the receiving portions. The receiving portions of one clamp assembly may receive at least two fixation components such as screws, pins or wires. The receiving portions of the other clamp assembly may receive at least one connector such as a rod, bar and/or ring. A biasing structure may be positioned between the first and second clamp assemblies and may allow for the fixation components to be snapped into the receiving portions through the insertion portions. Two or more adjustable fixation clamps may be used to form an external fixation system. At least two screws, pins or wires may be inserted into bone and one of the clamp assemblies may be attached thereto. A guide may be used for insertion of screws, pins or wires into bone.
