The applicator with the secured button is introduced into the tissue (for example, soft tissue or a bone tunnel) and the button is passed through the tissue. | 02-12-2009 |
| 20090060974 | METHODS OF ARTHROSCOPIC OSTEOCHONDRAL RESURFACING - Methods of arthroscopic resurfacing of anatomical tissue utilizing a biological component strengthened with glue or similar material. The biological component is selected from the group consisting of blood, blood components, PRP, bone marrow aspirate (BMA) and autologous conditioned plasma (ACP). The biological component/glue composition may be inserted (by injection and/or by employing a biologic resurfacing mold, for example) into, or in the vicinity of, the anatomical tissue. Upon insertion within, or contact with, the anatomical tissue, the biological component/glue composition is designed to coagulate and solidify (or partially solidify) within minutes, to advance healing or tissue growth of the anatomical tissue. The biological component/glue composition may optionally comprise components such as growth factors, antiseptic chemicals and/or antibiotics and/or electrolytes, or hormones or site-specific hybrid proteins, among others. | 03-05-2009 |
| 20090062870 | METHOD OF ARTHROSCOPIC OSTEOCHONDRAL RESURFACING USING PRP STRENGTHENED WITH FIBRIN GLUE - Methods of arthroscopic resurfacing of a joint utilizing a biological component strengthened with fibrin glue. The biological component is selected from the group consisting of PRP, bone marrow aspirate (BMA) and autologous conditioned plasma (ACP). The biological component/fibrin glue composition may be inserted (by injection or by employing a biologic resurfacing mold, for example) into a transosseous tunnel in the vicinity of the defect to be repaired. Upon insertion at the defect site, the biological component/fibrin glue composition is designed to coagulate and solidify within few minutes, to advance the healing of the damaged tissue and tissue growth. The biological component/fibrin glue composition may optionally comprise components such as growth factors, antiseptic chemicals and/or antibiotics and/or electrolytes, or hormones or site-specific hybrid proteins, among others. | 03-05-2009 |
| 20100016858 | Carbon Fiber Reinforced Peek Bone Plate With Titanium Fixation Screws - Apparatus and methods for tissue fixation using a bone plate configured to accommodate fixation devices (such as screws, for example) inserted at various angles. The bone plate is formed of a material softer than the material of the fixation devices, and is provided with fixation holes with rounded, curved interior walls (i.e., non-threaded holes) that allow the fixation devices to be inserted at various angles. The fixation holes have a diameter smaller than that of the fixation devices. As a result of the difference between the materials of the plate and of fixation devices, and of the difference between the diameters of the fixation holes and of the fixation devices, the fixation devices deform the interior walls of the fixation holes, therefore self-threading the holes at an advantageous angle. | 01-21-2010 |

| 20110076964 | Re-Activation of a Base Station in Standby Mode - The present invention relates to methods, apparatuses, a system and a computer program product for reducing a power consumption in low load scenarios. An apparatus can include transmitting means, receiving means and determining means for determining whether a signal quality of a broadcast channel of a wireless network cell is insufficient, wherein the transmitting means may transmit on a wireless access channel an activation information to a further apparatus if the determination is affirmative. The activation information can indicate that disabled transmitting means of the further apparatus should be re-enabled. The further apparatus may include transmitting means, receiving means disabling means for disabling the transmitting means and enabling means for re-enabling the transmitting means, wherein the receiving means can be configured to receive the activation in-formation, and wherein the enabling means may be configured to re-enable the transmitting means if the activation information is received. | 03-31-2011 |
| 20110129008 | Methods, Apparatuses, System and Related Computer Program Product for Cell Type Detection - It is disclosed a method comprising including transmitting indication information indicating network cells of a first type different from network cells of a second type, the transmitting comprising including a) broadcasting control information, the indication information to be transmitted being an indication flag, b) assigning a set of synchronization information to the network cells of the first type, and broadcasting control information, the indication information to be transmitted being the synchronization information, c) reserving at least one signaling code information for the network cells of the first type, the indication information to be transmitted being the signaling code information, d) transmitting signaling information subjected to modulation by at least one predefined phase modulation or scrambling by at least one predefined scrambling sequence, the modulation or scrambling being indicative of network cells of the first and second types, and/or e) transmitting i) a PSS and a RS, ii) a SSS and a RS, or iii) a PSS and a SSS, the PSS/RS, SSS/RS or PSS/SSS having at least one predefined phase relation to each other, the at least one phase relation being indicative of the network cells of the first and second types. | 06-02-2011 |
| 20110158171 | Decentrallizing Core Network Functionalities - The present invention relates to methods and apparatuses for providing network access, wherein a connection to a core network is established via a wireless access device and a gateway device. Connectivity of the wireless access device is restricted to a pre-defined group of core network address of a pool of gateway devices with multi-node connectivity to the core network, and a single address is selected to establish the connection to a one of the gateway devices. The gateway device is provided with a relay function for mapping a single input address to a plurality of core network addresses based on a location information of the wireless access device and with at least one co-located decentralized core network functionality. | 06-30-2011 |
