Anterior cervical instrumentation systems, methods, and devices are disclosed. Systems may facilitate immobilizing or providing support for the cervical portion of the vertebral column of a patient. A device may comprise a plate having two channels located in a proximal to distal direction, and may further comprise at least one aperture. The device may further comprise attachment elements such as attachment cross-links and spacer cross-links, and fasteners. The plate and the attachment elements may be secured to the vertebrae by passing fasteners through apertures and channels. The length of the plate, position and number of the attachment cross-links, position and number of spacer cross-links and degree of movement may be intraoperatively selected by the surgeon to provide an optimal application and procedural outcome. Uniform components of the devices and systems allow for a more streamlined and simplified method of treating spinal conditions.

A method of constructing a structure, a structure constructed according to the method, and a kitset of parts. The structure may be a tank for holding liquids, or a temporary shelter for humans or animals.

The present invention provides a method of mounting a fairing to a roof of a vehicle and a method of manufacturing a mounting frame for mounting a fairing to a roof of a vehicle. The mounting frame has a lower portion for mounting to the roof of the vehicle and an upper portion for securing the fairing. The mounting frame is formed by determining a contour of the mounting surface, creating a mould for moulding the lower portion of the mounting frame having a bottom edge configured generally complementary to the contour of at least a portion of the mounting surface, and moulding an upper portion affixed to the lower portion and having an outer face configured generally complementary to an interior surface of the fairing.

The present disclosure relates to a wheel cover assembly for a wheel assembly of a vehicle. The wheel cover assembly can include a bracket configured to be mounted onto the wheel assembly, an outer ring configured to be coupled with the bracket, and an inner cover removably couplable with the outer ring. The inner cover can comprise at least one attachment mechanism having a spring element, a catch and a handle, where the spring element can bias the catch to engage with the bracket or the outer ring to removably secure the inner cover to the outer ring.

The present invention relates to the production of cutter assembled to cutting bench to cut printed matter, paper and metal board. The production process includes the step of: figure printing of the cut shape with printing ink on metal plate; etching the metal plate through soaking the plate in etching agent solution; cleaning and reaching the required itching depth; and grinding to eliminate theink layer on the metal layer and sharpening the edge of the cutter. In the present invention, cutter is formed together with its seat and this leads to simple, convenient production process suitable for mass production. The cutter has certain toughness for coating to rolling-type cutting bench.

A method for manufacturing an unequal thickness steel pipe comprises: firstly, a thin steel plate (1) and a thick steel plate (2) that have different thicknesses are connected as an unequal thickness steel plate by welding; secondly, a roller machine is used to pre-roll two external ends of the thick steel plate and the thin steel plate that are constituted of the unequal thickness steel plate; through reciprocating roll of a lower roll wheel (3) and an upper roll wheel (4), two ends of the unequal thickness steel plate are rolled to warp upwardly; thirdly, areas except the two warped ends of the unequal thickness steel plate are rolled to make the steel plate gradually roll as a pipe shape; fourthly, misaligned edges (6) at two end ports of longitudinal seams (5) that are about to be closed and misaligned edges (7) of an outer round camber at two ends of the abutted unequal thickness steel plate are rectified and welded and the longitudinal seams are abutted, thus forming an unequal thickness steel pipe; Lastly, the roundness is rectified. According to the invention, the existing conventional roller machine is adopted to roll the unequal thickness steel plate as an unequal thickness steel pipe with arc shape.
