The present invention relates in certain embodiments to components of a hip-joint prosthesis. More particularly, embodiments of the invention relate to a leaf-like femoral shaft for use as part of a hip-joint prosthesis, and instruments (e.g., a rasp) and methods for implanting the shaft. The shaft includes an anchoring section extending between a proximal region and a distal end of the shaft. The shaft has a cross-sectional contour that defines a lateral side, a medial side, an anterior side and a posterior side. A corresponding rasp is preferably provided for each femoral shaft. The rasp is inserted into the femur to form a cavity having generally the same configuration as the rasp. The shaft is configured to be over-dimensioned in at least one of the anterior-posterior direction and medial-lateral direction relative to the rasped femur cavity. In one embodiment, the distance between diagonally opposite corner junctions of the shaft is substantially equal to the distance between corresponding diagonally opposite corner junctions of the femur cavity, so as to inhibit excess stress on the corticalis.

An optical element (1) for reflecting and / or redirecting light rays (L1) entering therein and again emerging therefrom consists of a transparent base body (2) which is so structured and / or formed that, with the formation of reflection surfaces (8) bounding the base body (2), at least a part of the light rays (L1) impinging upon the reflection surfaces (8) upon emergence from the transparent base body (2) are totally reflected, and at least one cover body (9) arranged behind the reflection surfaces (8). The reflection surfaces (8), and the surfaces of the cover body or bodies (9) towards the reflection surfaces, are adapted to one another such that between them there remains a thin gap (10) or only point contacts exist.

The invention relates to a rack or frame structure for electronic cabinets, specifically for network cabinets and cabinet rows with high cabling densities. To ensure in the case of high stability unhindered access to a reception area and cable routing in each direction, two vertical members and four depth members are so connected that a right and left-hand double-T frame is formed. The vertical members are in particular positioned as central members. The preferably releasable connection of the right and left-hand double-T frame takes place with the aid of a lower and upper transverse member in the vicinity of the vertical members, accompanied by the formation of a front and a rear frame recess.

A process for the preparation of a bake stable nut butter emulsion which comprises the following steps (a) selecting a sugar syrup solution and diluting it with water until it contains an amount of sugar solids which is in the range 55–80 wt. %, (b) heating the solution to a temperature in the range 40–100° C., (c) dispersing a starch into the heated solution until it contains 1–5 wt. % of dissolved starch, (d) dispersing an emulsifier into the heated solution until it contains 0.5–3 wt. % of dissolved emulsifier, (e) dispersing a gelling agent into the heated solution until it contains 0.2–1 wt. % of dissolved gelling agent, (f) cooling the heated solution into which the starch, emulsifier and gelling agent have been dispersed to a temperature which is in the range of 20–50° C., (g) dispersing under vigorous stirring conditions a nut butter into the cooled solution, while controlling the rate of addition such that the resulting emulsion remains water continuous, (h) allowing the emulsion to cool and to obtain a plastic consistency. The process delivers an edible nut butter containing emulsion which comprises 10–25 wt. % of a dispersed fat phase and 75–90 wt. % of a continuous aqueous phase which comprises sugar solids, starch, gelling agent and emulsifier, which emulsion has a plastic consistency and which emulsion possesses bake stability. The invention also relates to a bake stable nut butter emulsion.

The invention relates to a test piece for determining a specific material property of a fiber-reinforced plastic composite under applied mechanical loading.According to the invention, it is provided that an inner core is incorporated in a composite with the fiber-reinforced plastic, the inner core being widened in a transverse axis in relation to the mechanical load in such a way that the composite with the inner core has a greater buckling stability than a comparative body, such as the composite without the inner core, and that the inner core is formed in such a way that an influence on the specific material property to be determined of the fiber-reinforced plastic composite lies in a range of acceptance.

A filling joint arrangement for a filling medium which is capable of flow, in particular for a sausage meat, including a first filling pipe portion with a first filling pipe axis and a second filling pipe portion with a second filling pipe axis, wherein the second filling pipe portion is reversibly pivotable from a filling position in which the second filling pipe axis is aligned with the first filling pipe axis into a tilted position in which the second filling pipe axis is out of alignment with the first filling pipe axis, and further including a joint device which is disposed in filling medium-tight relationship between the first and the second filling pipe portions and which has a first joint receiving portion connected in filling medium-tight relationship to the first filling pipe portion and which includes a joint intermediate portion which has a third filling pipe portion with a third filling pipe axis and which is held pivotably by the first joint receiving portion in such a way that it is reversibly pivotable from the filling position into a tilted position in which the third filling pipe axis is out of alignment with the first filling pipe axis. It is further provided that there is a second joint receiving portion which is connected in filling medium-tight relationship to the second filling pipe portion and which together with the second filling pipe portion is reversibly pivotable with respect to the joint intermediate portion out of the filling position by way of a tilted intermediate position in which at least the third filling pipe axis is out of alignment with the first filling pipe axis into a tilted end position in which the second filling pipe axis is out of alignment with the third filling pipe axis.

An apparatus for variable setting of control times of gas exchange valves of an internal combustion engine which has a drive element, an output element and a side cover. The drive element is brought into drive connection with a crankshaft, the output element is brought into drive connection with a camshaft, and the output element is arranged such that it can be pivoted with respect to the drive element. The side cover, which has a sealing cover with an opening and a mating element, axially delimits the output element and / or the drive element, and is connected in a rotationally fixed manner to the drive or output element by means of a fastening element. The fastening element reaches at least partially through the opening and interacts with the fastening element producing a rotationally fixed connection between the side cover and output element or drive element.

The present invention relates to dental machining apparatus (1) for blanks (3) comprising a tool spindle (2) having an axis of rotation (2.8) and mounted in a bearing housing (1.2) disposed on the machine housing side. A force sensor (5) is also provided, which is disposed between the tool spindle (2) and the bearing housing (1.2) for the purpose of detecting the machining force acting on the tool spindle (2), wherein the tool spindle (2) can be supported against the bearing housing (1.2) directly or indirectly via the force sensor (5).
