  • Publication number: 20240138994
    Abstract: An orthopaedic knee prosthesis includes a tibial insert and a femoral component configured to articulate on the tibial insert. The tibial insert includes a lateral articular surface and medial articular surface that is asymmetrically shaped relative to the lateral articular surface. The medial articular surface is shaped to reduce anterior translation of a medial condyle of the femoral component, while the lateral articular surface is shaped to allow a lateral condyle of the femoral component to pivot, relative to the medial articular surface, along an arcuate articular path. Additionally, one or both condyles of the femoral component may include a femoral articular surface having a curved femoral surface section defined by a continuously decreasing radius of curvature.

  • Publication number: 20240125719
    Abstract: A defined peak region residing between about 3.2 and 3.4 ppm of a proton NMR spectrum of an in vitro biosample is electronically evaluated to determine a level of trimethylamine-N-oxide (“TMAO”). The biosample may be any suitable biosamples including human serum with a normal biologic range of between about 1-50 ?M or urine with a normal biologic range of between about 0-1000 ?M.

  • Publication number: 20240096497
    Abstract: Methods, systems and circuits evaluate a subject's risk of developing type 2 diabetes or developing or having prediabetes using at least one defined mathematical model of risk of progression that can stratify risk for patients having the same glucose measurement. The model may include NMR derived measurements of GlycA and a plurality of selected lipoprotein components of at least one biosample of the subject.

  • Publication number: 20020084587
    Abstract: A convertible gaming table includes, a table base that is adapted for play of a first casino game, a removable game table covering formed to fit the table base, and means for retaining the game table covering on the table base. The game table covering covers the first casino game and adapts the table base for play of a second casino game. Play of the first and second casino games can, thereby, be controlled by a single casino employee.

  • Patent number: 4848030
    Abstract: A removable window guard/hinge assembly consisting of a plurality of vertical bars secured to at least two substantially horizontal bars with attached hinges, designed for mounting inside a window frame structure on the interior of the window. One side of each hinge is attached to one end of each horizontal member of the window guard and the other side of each hinge is removably insertable into metal sleeves which are embedded in the vertical member of the window frame structure. The side of the window guard opposite the hinges is secured to the window frame by a suitable lock. This design prevents removal of the window guard while it is closed but allows easy removal when it is opened, by moving the window guard assembly horizontally so that the hinge members slide out of the sleeves which are embedded in the window frame structure. After removal of the window guard/hinge assembly from the window, the remaining holes in the window frame can be concealed with plugs.
