A method and apparatus for controlling access to a storage medium, such as an optically readable medium. Light sensitive or other materials that are adapted to change state and affect reading of a storage medium are used to control access to data that may be stored on optical medium and/or to control use of the medium.

An acetabular impactor aids a surgeon in controlling the installation of an acetabular cup prosthesis having a central, female aperture. The impactor includes an impactor head, housing and a locking mechanism. The housing is attached to the impactor head, the housing enclosing a drive train having, at a far end, a prosthesis engaging thread, and at the opposite end, a handle which facilitates turning of the drive train by the operator. The locking mechanism is associated with the housing which selectively locks the drive train, and thus the prosthesis, in position. The opposite end of the drive train has a latch device which enables quick removal from the housing for cleaning and sterilization.

Installing apps and setting configuration on a device. A method includes receiving user input. The user input indicates a level of control that a user is willing to give an enterprise over the device. The method further includes determining, based on the level of control indicated by the user input, a set of apps allowed to install on the device. The set of apps allowed to install on the device is limited by the level of control indicated by the user. The method further includes authorizing installation of the set of apps on the device while restricting installation of other apps that would be authorized had the user selected a different level of control that the user is willing to give the enterprise over the device.

A method for limiting the number of times that software can be installed on different computers is provided. The method is suitable for PC with disk ROMs. With the USB flash drive connected to PC, the method includes the steps of: (a) the CD in the Disk ROM starting the software installation process; (b) the installation process requesting a hardware identification from the PC; (c) comparing the hardware identification of USB flash drive to determine if continuing the software installation process; (d) decoding the identification file in the USB flash drive; (e) checking if the hardware identification being already stored in decoded identification file; and (f) determining if finishing the software installation process in response to the checking step.

An acetabular inserter (10) aids a surgeon in controlling the installation of an acetabular cup prosthesis (11) having a central, female aperture (13). The inserter includes an inserter head (20), a housing (12) and a locking mechanism. The housing (12) is attached to the inserter head, the housing enclosing a drive train (14) having, at a far end (134), a prosthesis engaging thread (124), and at the opposite end (42′), a handle (20) which facilitates turning of the drive train by the operator. The locking mechanism is associated with the housing which selectively locks the drive train, and thus the prosthesis, in position. The opposite end (42′) of the drive train has a latch device which enables quick removal from the housing for cleaning and sterilization.

An orthopaedic prosthetic inserter used for the implantation of double mobility cup implants is described. The inserter consists of a drive train, a C-shaped housing, and a prosthetic cup engaging subassembly. The subassembly comprises an impaction plate, a grasping plate and a domed nose. When activated by the drive train, a plurality of hook ends extending from the grasping plate latch onto the cup of the prosthetic to hold and manipulate the prosthetic cup during implantation.

An orthopedic prosthetic inserter used for the implantation of an acetabular prosthetic cup implant. The inserter consists of a drive train, a C-shaped housing, and a collet mechanism used to attach a prosthetic cup implant. When activated by the drive train, the collet mechanism expands to draw the prosthesis towards the collet mechanism and create a substantially friction tight engagement therebetween.

An orthopaedic prosthetic inserter used for the implantation of double mobility implants is described. The inserter consists of a drive train, a C-shaped housing, and a prosthetic cup grabbing subassembly. The subassembly comprises a frustro-conical nose and an expandable dome. When activated by the drive train, the dome expands into the cup of the prosthetic to manipulate the prosthetic during implantation.

A working mechanism (4) takes a traveling stance by a way that left and right boom cylinders (9, 10) are expanded to rotate a tip end of a first boom (5) to the rear side and a positioning cylinder (11) is compressed to rotate a tip end of a second boom (6) to the lower side. In the traveling stance of the working mechanism (4), a front surface plate (23A) of a right front housing cover (23) is inclined along a tilting angle (α) of the left and right boom cylinders (9, 10), and the front surface plate (23A) of the right front housing cover (23) is arranged in a position of lining with front ends (9A1, 10A1) of tubes (9A, 10A) in the left-right direction forming the respective boom cylinders (9, 10).

In a personal Internet communication device, a security key is stored on the master boot record. Any bootable device attempting to write operating system files or software files must have an authorized signature key in order to be eligible to install files on the personal Internet communication device.

An illuminating device is mounted on top of or below a light steel frame and includes at least one one-piece elongated shade in which a bowl-shaped mirror reflector is mounted. A fluorescent tube is mounted in the shade and longer than one of a plurality of sections of the light steel frame. A wing extends horizontally from each of two lateral sides of the shade. An extrusion ridge is formed on a top side of the shade. Two shield boards are mounted in each section of the light steel frame extended across by the shade. An edge of each shield board rests on one of the wings. First and second snap fasteners are selectively engaged with the extrusion ridge. The first snap fastener can fix an electronic stabilizer on the extrusion ridge. The second snap fastener can fix the illuminating device to a longitudinal beam of the light steel frame.

Disclosed are communication methods in a divided vehicle network. An operation method of a first end node includes: generating a frame; and transmitting the frame to a switch connected to the first end node. A source internet protocol (IP) address of the frame is set to an IP address of the first end node, a destination IP address of the frame is set to an IP address of a second end node belonging to a second domain in the vehicle network, a source medium access control (MAC) address of the frame is set to a MAC address of the first end node, and a destination MAC address of the frame is set to a MAC address of a gateway supporting inter-domain communications.

A cable adjusting unit includes a first member, a second member and an actuator. The second member is movably arranged with respect to the first member. The actuator is operatively coupled to at least one of the first member and the second member. The actuator is arranged to relatively move the first member with respect to the second member.

An electronic device includes a projection unit and a detection unit. The projection unit is configured to project light in a projection region on a projection surface. The detection unit is disposed away from the projection unit. The detection unit includes a photodetector and a notification light emitter. The photodetector is configured to detect reflected light of the light from the projection unit within a detection region. The notification light emitter is configured to emit to the projection surface notification light for setting a position of the projection region within the detection region of the photodetector.
