20120108917 | PATIENT MONITORING SYSTEMS AND METHODS - An adherent patient device is configured to adhere to the skin of the patient and measure electrocardiogram data, impedance data, accelerometer data, blood oxygen data and temperature data. The adherent device can communicate wirelessly with gateways and a local processor system, such that the patient can wander about the hospital and update the monitoring station with the patient data when the patient is ambulatory. The local processor system can be configured to customize alerts for the patient, for example to notify automatically a specialist in response to a special condition of the patient. The adherent device may comprise a unique adherent device identifier such that the customized alert can be sent based on the unique device identifier. Each of the gateways can be carried and may comprise a unique gateway identifier, such that the unique device identifier and the unique gateway identifier can be used to locate the ambulatory patient. | 05-03-2012 |

20090222104 | ASYMMETRIC FORMATION OF PROSTHETIC COMPONENTS FOR THE MANIPULATION AND SUPPRESSION OF NATURAL FREQUENCIES - A hip joint prosthesis for implantation in the femur of a patient, wherein the shaft can be coupled with a ball head which in turn can be inserted rotatably in the hemispherical recess of a socket insert. To avoid squeaking the shaft is formed asymmetrically in its outer and/or inner geometry and/or material composition. | 09-03-2009 |
20090259318 | ASYMMETRIC FORMATION OF SOCKETS AND/OR SOCKET INSERTS FOR THE MANIPULATION AND SUPRESSION OF NATURAL FREQUENCIES - A socket or socket insert for a hip joint prosthesis, the shaft of which can be coupled with a ball head which in turn can be inserted in a rotatable manner in the hemispherical recess of the socket insert wherein the shaft can be implanted in the femur and the socket insert can be implanted directly or via a hip socket in the pelvic bone. To avoid squeaking, the socket and/or the socket insert are asymmetrically in their inner or outer geometries. | 10-15-2009 |
20090299484 | DEVICE FOR ASSEMBLY OF BALL HEADS AND ADAPTER SLEEVES AS INTEGRATED COMPONENT PART OF THE PACKAGE - The invention relates to a package for receiving an adapter sleeve for a hip endoprosthesis, the hip endoprosthesis comprising a ball head which has to be pushed onto the adapter sleeve with a defined pushing-on force. For simplification and secure fastening of the ball head on the adapter sleeve, it is proposed according to the invention that a device for the mounting of the ball head on the adapter sleeve is integrated in the package and this device comprises indicating elements which indicate that the defined pushing-on force has been reached when the ball head is pressed onto the adapter sleeve. | 12-03-2009 |
20090326669 | INSERTION OF VIBRATION-DAMPING ELEMENTS IN PROSTHETIC SYSTEMS FOR THE MANIPULATION AND DAMPING OF NATURAL FREQUENCIES - A hip joint prosthesis with a shaft fastened on the shaft head of which there is a ball head which in turn is inserted in a rotatable manner in the spherical recess of a socket insert and the socket insert is coupled with a hip socket wherein the shaft can be implanted in the femur and the hip socket can be implanted in the pelvic bone. To avoid transmission of vibrations, damping elements of a vibration-damping material are arranged at the coupling points of the shaft head with the ball head and/or of the socket insert with the hip socket. | 12-31-2009 |
