Prosthetic limb

A prosthetic limb has an outer surface that is a mirror image of an intact limb or a generic limb design. The intact limb is scanned and the surface data is manipulated to create a virtual mirror image. If generic data is used, the intact leg can be measured and the generic surface can be adjusted so the prosthetic limb appears similar to the intact limb. The end of the amputated limb is also measured to obtain socket data. A knee and foot are incorporated to form a virtual prosthetic limb represented by design data. The design data for the virtual prosthetic limb is forwarded to a rapid prototyping machine that fabricates the entire leg simultaneously. Once completed, the prosthetic limb is shipped to the patient.

Vacuum seed meter

A seed meter for an agricultural seed planter, wherein the seed meter includes a rotating distributing seed disk defining a plurality of radially spaced apertures. The seed disk or drum is operatively connected to a vacuum source for creating a pressure differential between the exterior and the interior of the seed disk so as to pick up seeds for dispensing. Secured to the exterior surface of the seed disk are a plurality of arm members made from a resilient, yet rigid material, such as spring steel, which include an end portion defining an aperture that is positioned over a corresponding aperture formed about the periphery of the seed disk. As the drum is rotated through a supply of seeds, individual seeds are urged onto the apertures of the arm members and corresponding seed disk apertures, and held in place by the vacuum. A lifter mechanism mounted with a frame and including an end that engages at least the portion of the seed disk or drum defining the seed apertures causes the radial outward end of the arm members to be urged away from the surface of the seed disk as the disk is rotated relative to the end of the lifter so that the seed held on the arm member is moved away from the vacuum source and communication with the vacuum source is disrupted. The lifter may optionally include a portion that also occludes the aperture in the seed disk, thereby temporarily cutting off the vacuum force from the individual seed entirely. The lifter in conjunction with a vacuum breaker plate may also physically dislodge any seed or debris not previously removed. As the seed disk continues to rotate, the arm members are disengaged from the lifter such that the arm members are allowed to return to the position where the apertures in the arm members and seed disk are again overlaid.
