Abstract: The present invention relates to testing and evaluation of motorised wheeled vehicles and the evaluation of drivers of motorised wheeled vehicles including a system for evaluation of driver braking performance. The system may include a driver measuring unit including a force measuring means being operative to generate force measurement data representative of force applied by the driver to the brake applicator and a communication means, a vehicle measuring unit having a motion measuring means adapted to determine vehicle measurements and a communication means, and a processor unit having a display screen, and communications means, wherein the processor unit is operative to receive via the communications means the force measurement data generated by the driver measuring unit and the vehicle measurement data generated by the vehicle measuring unit, and generate brake test result metrics therefrom for display on the display screen.

Abstract: A system and method for collecting bone marrow exposed during a surgical procedure is disclosed. The system comprises a cannula; a collection element, such as a syringe; a storage element, such as a blood bag of blood tube; a valve assembly; and connecting tubing. The system is a closed system which significantly reduces the risk of microbial contamination during the collection and/or processing of the bone marrow. The method includes collecting bone marrow using the system during a surgical procedure, such as a hip or knee replacement surgery, and processing the collected bone marrow to obtain stem cells. Once obtained, the stem cells can be cryopreserved in a cell bank for later use.
