  • Stabilization Members For Expandable Intervertebral Implants, And Related Systems And Methods
    Publication number: 20230277329
    Abstract: An expandable intervertebral cage includes vertically opposed superior and inferior plates and longitudinally opposed distal and proximal wedges disposed between the plates. The wedges define ramps that engage complimentary ramps of the superior and inferior plates to increase a vertical distance between the plates. An actuator is located between the plates, defines a central, longitudinal axis, and is coupled to the wedges such that, as the actuator rotates about the axis, at least one of the wedges moves longitudinally relative to the other, thereby increasing the vertical separation distance. At least one locking component is insertable within a receptacle at least partially defined by the proximal wedge and is configured to transition from an unlocked configuration, where the actuator is rotatable relative to the proximal wedge, to a locked configuration, where the actuator is rotationally affixed relative to the proximal wedge.

  • Network Architecture, Methods, and Devices for a Wireless Communications Network
    Publication number: 20230224059
    Abstract: Methods and apparatus in a fifth-generation wireless communications, including an example method, in a wireless device, that includes receiving a downlink signal comprising an uplink access configuration index, using the uplink access configuration index to identify an uplink access configuration from among a predetermined plurality of uplink access configurations, and transmitting to the wireless communications network according to the identified uplink access configuration. The example method further includes, in the same wireless device, receiving, in a first subframe, a first Orthogonal Frequency-Division Multiplexing (OFDM) transmission formatted according to a first numerology and receiving, in a second subframe, a second OFDM transmission formatted according to a second numerology, the second numerology differing from the first numerology. Variants of this method, corresponding apparatuses, and corresponding network-side methods and apparatuses are also disclosed.

  • POUCH FOR TOBACCO OR TOBACCO SUBSTITUTE
    Publication number: 20080302682
    Abstract: A smokeless tobacco product adapted for oral administration includes a permeable pouch adapted for administration into a user's mouth and adapted to be removed from the mouth and disposed in nature and smokeless tobacco contained in the pouch. The pouch is made from a degradable polymer whose degradation properties allow the pouch to be essentially intact until the time of disposal and allow the pouch to degrade in nature after disposal.

  • Device and method for determining a highest allowed velocity of a vehicle
    Patent number: 7120532
    Abstract: Method and device for the determining a maximum allowed velocity (Vmax) for a vehicle (1) when going downhill (2). The invention includes a detector (11) for detection of current inclination (alpha) of the vehicle (1) in relation to a horizontal plane (3), and means (10) for the determination of a value relating to the maximum allowed velocity (Vmax) of the vehicle in dependence of at least the value of the inclination (alpha). The invention also relates to a procedure for the control of the velocity. The invention provides a procedure for velocity control that takes the inclination into account when going downhill.

  • Catheter for intravascular pressure measurement
    Patent number: 4936310
    Abstract: The invention relates to a catheter for intravascular pressure measurement. The catheter includes a leader (3) with a transducer (4). The leader is surrounded by an inner sheath (2) with a reduced partial section portion (6) and by an outer sheath (1) arranged around the inner sheath. An end closure (5) joins the outer and inner sheath to each other at the distal end of the catheter to form an outer cavity (9), intended to be pressurized by an outside pressure source, whereby the attenuated partial section sealingly surrounds the leader or transducer (4). Pressure calibration in situ is enabled with the aid of the inventive catheter.
