20110130765	Coplanar X-Ray Guided Aiming Arm for Locking of Intramedullary Nails - A novel coplanar X-ray guided method and device for insertion of distal locking screws in intramedullary bone nails. The device has coplanar holes, which allow insertion of protective sleeves. A drill and bone screws can be inserted through the protective sleeves. Radiopaque target markers in the aiming arm enable the easy positioning of an X-ray source such that an X-ray beam is coplanar with the aiming arm transverse holes. After the X-ray source is accurately oriented, a single X-ray snapshot is enough to assess the exact distortion of the implanted intramedullary nail. The X-ray beam need not be coaxial with the intramedullary nail holes. The aiming arm has a mobile portion and a fixed portion fastened to the nail, wherein said aiming arm can be adjusted, displacing the mobile portion over the fixed portion, to compensate for the distortion of the intramedullary nail after implantation. Once the aiming arm is precisely positioned, the aiming arm transverse holes and intramedullary nail holes are accurately aligned, protective sleeves are inserted through aiming arm holes, bone drills are drilled through the intramedullary nail holes and surrounding bone material, and bone screws are inserted, locking the intramedullary nail to the bone.	06-02-2011

20090005913	Method and Device for Determining a PWM Signal on Which a Dither Frequency is Superimposed in Order to Control a Solenoid Valve - A PWM signal on which a dither signal is superimposed is used for adjusting a central position when controlling a solenoid valve. To improve this type of control process in which the amplitude of the dither signal depends on the current of the solenoid valve and thus on the PWM signal, the PWM signal and the dither signal are generated in a computer unit independently of the power regulation process. Forming the signals separately has the advantage of generating a constant amplitude for the dither signal each time a triggering signal is generated for the solenoid valve such that the armature of the solenoid valve can oscillate specifically about the central position and thereof at constant small vibrations. This allows frictional forces to be reliably reduced and the solenoid valve to be switched more rapidly while the load on the main computer is reduced.	01-01-2009

20130020646	MULTI-CHANNEL HOMOGENOUS PATH FOR ENHANCED MUTUAL TRIGGERING OF ELECTROSTATIC DISCHARGE FINGERS - Mutual triggering of electrostatic discharge (ESD) fingers is improved by creating a base contact in each individual finger and connecting all of these base contacts in parallel. The local base contact in each ESD finger is located at a position where the base voltage significantly increases when the ESD current increases. Thus when an ESD finger is triggered its local base voltage will tend to significantly increase. Since all of the ESD finger bases are connected in parallel this local voltage increase will forward bias the base-emitter junctions of the other ESD fingers, thus triggering them all. By sharing the triggering current from the fastest ESD finger with the slower ones ensures that all ESD fingers are triggered during an ESD event.	01-24-2013

20090187999	Process for Producing Exogenous Protein in the Milk of Transgenic Mammals and a Process For Purifying Proteins Therefrom - The invention relates to a non-human transgenic mammal that is useful for the production of a protein of interest that may be toxic to the mammal. The mammal is characterized by the fact that it is transgenic for the production in its milk of an inactive form of the protein of interest, preferably recombinant human insulin. It is not possible to produce recombinant human insulin in transgenic mammals since this molecule has a certain degree of biological activity in the mammals and could be toxic to the mammal. Thus, the invention involves cloning a genetic construct comprising a sequence encoding a modified human insulin precursor under the control of a beta casein promoter in an expression vector. It also involves transfecting the expression plasmid into fetal bovine somatic cells, such as fibroblasts, and enucleating bovine oocytes by nuclear transfer to generate transgenic embryos. The invention gives rise to transgenic bovine that will be able to produce a modified human insulin precursor in their mammary glands. Afterwards, the milk of these transgenic mammals can be collected, the modified human insulin precursor can be converted in vitro into recombinant human insulin, and the recombinant human insulin can be purified to homogeneity as a pure biopharmaceutical product.	07-23-2009
