20110218576Plating Concept for Distal Radial Fractures - A bone fixation plate comprises a plate body extending from a first end configured for placement over a shaft of a bone to a second end configured and dimensioned for placement over an epiphysis of the bone, an outer diameter of the plate body increasing from the first end to the second end to substantially conform to dimensions of the bone. An opening extends through the plate from a first surface which faces away from the bone when mounted thereonto to a second surface which faces the bone when in the desired orientation, the opening being positioned so that, when mounted over the bone, a fracture of the bone is visible therethrough to aid in alignment of the bone plate. First and second holes extend through the plate, each of the first and second holes being structured to lockingly engage a threaded head of a bone fixation device inserted thereinto.09-08-2011

20090236238Electrochemical Determination of Factor XA Inhibitors - Methods and devices for determining factor Xa inhibitors, in particular heparins and fractionated or low-molecular-weight heparins, as well as direct factor Xa inhibitors in blood samples. The methods include contacting a blood sample with a detection reagent that contains at least one thrombin substrate having a peptide residue that can be cleaved by thrombin and is amidically bound via the carboxyl end to an electrogenic substance, and with a known amount of factor X reagent and an activator reagent which induces the conversion of factor X into factor Xa. Subsequently, in a second step, the amount or activity of the electrogenic substance that is cleaved from the thrombin substrate by the factor Xa-mediated thrombin activation and/or the time course thereof is determined as the measurement signal using electrochemical methods. In a third step, the amount of the factor Xa inhibitor in the sample of the blood to be analyzed or a measured quantity that correlates therewith, in particular a clotting time that correlates therewith, is determined on the basis of this measurement signal.09-24-2009

20090160434INCREMENTAL DISPLACEMENT TRANSDUCER AND METHOD FOR DETERMINING A DISPLACEMENT OF A FIRST OBJECT RELATIVE TO A SECOND OBJECT - The present invention relates to an incremental displacement transducer for determining a displacement of a first object relative to a second object having a scanning unit linked or to be linked with the first object for scanning a spacing or division track linked or to be linked with the second object having first areas and second areas arranged in alternating manner with a period length, the first areas having a first physical property and the second areas a second physical property differing therefrom, and where the scanning unit has a plurality of sensors for scanning the first areas and the second areas on the basis of the first and/or second physical property, and having an evaluation unit linked with the scanning unit for determining the displacement on the basis of measuring signals of the sensors. The incremental displacement transducer is characterized in that the scanning unit has at least four sensors which are mutually spaced from one another over at least one period length of the spacing track, that at least one first signal can be generated from the measuring signals of the sensors in the evaluation unit for determining the displacement, that the first switching signal assumes a first value if the measuring signal of a first selected sensor of a first subgroup of sensors assumes a maximum value within the first subgroup and simultaneously the measuring signal of a second selected sensor of a second subgroup of sensors assumes a maximum value within the second subgroup and/or that the first switching signal assumes a first value if the measuring signal of a third selected sensor of a third subgroup of sensors assumes a maximum value within the third subgroup and simultaneously the measuring signal of a fourth selected sensor of a fourth subgroup of sensors assumes a maximum value within the fourth subgroup, and that the first switching signal otherwise assumes a second value, each subgroup comprising at least two sensors. The invention also relates to a method for determining a displacement of a first object relative to a second object.06-25-2009
