20080309556Relative 3D Positioning in an Ad-Hoc Network Based on Distances - A positioning apparatus for a wireless ad-hoc network that can measure distances between network nodes that are in range and connected to each other. The positioning apparatus can calculate 3D positions of some nodes using the distance values using a relative coordinate system, first by measuring distances to neighbored nodes, receiving and sending distance reports to/from neighbors, by second initially advantageously selecting the set of base nodes to which the coordinate system relates, and by calculating positions of the base nodes and other nodes in the network initially, and by third detecting movements in the network and by calculating positions of the moved nodes. The network can compensate for movements of the base nodes, select the base nodes in an advantageous way, and cope with sleeping nodes, with unreliable communication, and with fluctuating network topologies. Neighbor communication is used only if no node is sleeping.12-18-2008

20090033448Device Having a Shape Memory Element - Conventional devices have a valve needle and a shape memory element which, by the application of a controllable magnetic field, executes a control stroke travel that operates the actuator, and having a coil that excites the magnetic field which is situated in a magnet housing which, at its end face, is bordered with respect to an actuating axis by a front wall in each case, the front walls having a through opening radially within the coil. It is a disadvantage that the magnetic field excited around the coil is conducted unfavorably, so that at most a slight magnetic field develops in the shape memory element. The shape memory element has a magnetic field flowing through it, in the direction of its longitudinal extension, if at all. Since the shape memory element has a high magnetic resistance and is developed to be very long in the axial direction, only a very weak magnetic field can be induced in the shape memory element. In response to the magnetic field that is weak at most, the shape memory element can generate only a very slight lift of the valve needle. In the device according to the present invention, a strong magnetic field is conducted through the shape memory elements, and in this way, a large control stroke travel is achieved. The shape memory element(s) is/are positioned generally only in the through opening(s).02-05-2009

20090198340FEMORAL COMPONENT OF KNEE PROSTHESIS, THE FEMORAL COMPONENT HAVING ANTERIOR/POSTERIOR CLAW(S) FOR DIGGING INTO BONE AND/OR A RAISED RIB WITH A BULBOUS TERMINUS - One embodiment of the present invention provides a femoral component of a knee prosthesis, wherein the femoral component includes a sharp radius at each end (e.g., the anterior end and the posterior end) of the femoral component. The sharp radius at each end may form a “claw” at each end. Each of these claws may “dig” through the patient's cartilage into the bone (or may “dig” directly into bone if there is no intervening cartilage). Enhanced fixation may be achieved with the claws “digging” and fixing into the bone as well as the claws providing additional cement pressurization (e.g., with the claws in the bone, cement is less likely to escape by the anterior and posterior ends). Further, one benefit provided by a claw may be facilitating a smooth transition of cartilage/poly bearing to femoral implant/poly bearing (e.g., during knee extension). Another embodiment of the present invention provides a femoral component of a knee prosthesis, wherein the femoral component includes a raised rib having a bulbous terminus at a free edge. This raised rib having a bulbous terminus at a free edge may, for example, simultaneously create sufficient implant strength and adequate cement fixation while minimizing the component's thickness (e.g., in order to minimize the amount of bone that must be removed to fit a unicompartmental femoral component that is used for patients who have early stage arthritis). Accomplishing all three attributes (i.e. strength, cement fixation and minimal size) simultaneously has typically been difficult because these are competing objectives.08-06-2009
