A spinal fixation system includes an elongated rod sized to extend between at least two vertebrae and a number of anchor devices for anchoring the rod to the spine. The anchor devices include a bone engaging fastener having a head defining a spherical socket. A ball insert is configured to be placed within the socket and rotated so that a spherical surface of the ball insert is juxtaposed with the spherical surface of the socket. The insert has a first dimension less than the socket opening and a second dimension that upon rotation causes the insert to be captively retained in the socket. The anchor device further includes a yoke defining a yoke channel for receiving the rod and including a stem that is engaged to the ball insert when the insert is captured within the socket. A sleeve is disposed between the yoke channel and the fastener head for supporting the rod thereon. A set screw is threaded into the yoke channel for clamping the rod against the sleeve. The set screw further operates to draw the ball insert into clamped engagement within the socket.

Suction is gathered up into a suction hole by arranging a driveable belt with small suction holes opened thereon in the suction nozzle, and output of the suction device can be largely reduced by reducing the suction air volume while maintaining strong suction force. A sucking place is also varied by moving the suction holes by driving the belt, and the whole air filter area is cleaned by performing sweeping operation on the air filter in response to operation of the suction nozzle.

A fixation device for fixation and/or fusion of the bones and joints of the mid-foot includes a plate having a plurality of screw holes for attachment of the plate around the perimeter of the fusion site. In one embodiment, four screw holes are positioned at the corners of the plate and two screw holes are located at the opposite sides and mid-length of the plate. Preferably, four additional screw holes are defined at the interior of the plate to increase the number of points of attachment of the plate to the bones of the mid-foot or to increase the ability to stabilize multiple bone segments in the case of a difficult mid-foot fracture. The plate includes a plurality of cut-outs defined between or interior of the screw holes. The cut-outs are sized to accept additional bone fasteners to either enhance the attachment of the plate to the mid-foot bones or to provide access for a fastener to reduce a bone fragment beneath the plate. The plate is configured so that the screw holes and cut-outs are not positioned over a fusion location when the plate is attached to the mid-foot.

With this, concentration of impact load to the corner gusset (25) can be avoided.

An optical substrate possesses a structured surface that enhances luminance or brightness and reduces the effects of structural defects on perceived image quality. User perceivable image cosmetic defects caused by manufacturing or handling, can be masked by introducing structural irregularities in the optical substrate, which may be non-facet flat sections or in-kind to the defects. Optical defects caused by non-facet flat sections in the prism structure of the optical substrate (e.g., flat-bottom valleys with a certain valley bottom thickness above the base layer, and/or flat-top peaks, and/or openings in the optical substrates that expose flat sections of underlying base layer) can be masked by providing distributed in-kind non-facet flat sections (e.g., flat-bottom valleys, and/or flat-top peaks, and/or openings exposing sections of underlying base layer), to diffuse the prominence of the original defects with the introduced irregularities.

The invention provides a novel method for effectively representing ultra-precision cutting surface grain-boundary relief. According to the novel method, a band elimination filtering method is coupled with a size method in the fractal dimension concept; by utilization of band elimination filtering, cutter mark signal interference can be effectively reduced and grain-boundary relief information can be highlighted; and meanwhile, the sinuosity of a surface profile can be effectively represented by adopting the size method in the fractal dimension concept. By adoption of the novel method provided by the invention, the problem that when a cutter mark and the grain-boundary relief information exist on an ultra-precision cutting oxygen-free copper surface simultaneously, the difference between the cutter mark and the grain-boundary relief information cannot be distinguished through traditional measuring of the roughness is solved. Therefore, the novel method has the advantages that the characteristics of grain-boundary relief can be effectively recognized, and information about the morphological feature of an ultra-precision machining surface in the micro scale can be quantitatively reflected.

When rotating with fixed end-side axis parts (43, 53) set as rotational axis fulcrums, rotating end-side axis parts (45, 55) of a forward link (41) and a rear link (51) move in an up-down direction. The range of rotation of the forward link (41) is arranged in a manner such that the rotating end-side axis part (45) of the forward link (41) is always above a rotation center joining line (L). The range of rotation of the rear link (51) is arranged in a manner such that the rotating end-side axis part (55) of the rear link (51) is in a range that straddles the rotation center joining line (L). As a result, the rotating end-side axis part (45) of the forward link (41) is lowered, and only the rotating end-side axis part (55) of the rear link (51) is raised, until the point where a rotating end joining line (M) switches from a below-side position to an above-side position relative to the fixed end-side axis part (53) of the rear link (51). Hence, it is possible to effectively lift a seat cushion upward when a passenger gets in or out of a vehicle, in a manner such that the position of the hips of the passenger are higher relative to the position of the knees of the passenger.
