Abstract: Proposed is an automated maximum impact measurand forecasting system for measuring an impact of an explosion of an explosive in open steel and/or concrete and/or reinforced concrete structures, wherein at least loading and/or resistance measuring parameter values are measured and/or captured by the automated forecasting system.

Abstract: Various embodiments of this invention are directed towards an apparatus for feeding, amusing, and training animals and pets. Various embodiments of the invention comprise a remote control vehicle that is configured to feature a vessel. The vessel may be loaded with foods or treats in order to reward an animal that successfully completes a chase of the vehicle.

Abstract: The invention relates to an expandable acetabular cup (46) which is designed to eliminate the difficulties associated with positioning in the acetabulum of the patient. The inventive device comprises a hemispherical acetabular cup (46) which is partially slotted at six points to facilitate the expansion of a core with conical fitting. The expandable acetabular cup (46) is designed such that it can be introduced freely, or with slight pressure, into a preformed bone cavity. The conical core (16) is designed to be fixed to a guide/impacteur graduated in degrees to maximize the desired position. The implantation is performed gradually. The inclination and anteversion can be checked at all times during the implantation. The retaining mechanism of the guide/impacteur can be used to remove the conical core (16) to re-position the acetabular cup (46) if necessary.
