A human bone substitutional implant comprises a main body and a push body. The main body is a hollow cylinder with a thread portion or a ratchet portion disposed on its outer wall. The thread portion or the ratchet portion has at least a slit dividing it into four equal parts. An inner thread is disposed on the inner wall of the thread portion or the ratchet portion. An outer thread is disposed on the outer surface of the push body and corresponds to the inner thread. The push body and the main body are joined together via screw connection of the outer thread and the inner thread. Because the main body has a conical passage therein, the main body will be held open a certain angle to support and enhance a fractured bone of the human body when the push body is axially pushed into the main body.

An apparatus and method for joining members together using a self-drilling screw apparatus or stapling apparatus are disclosed. The screw apparatus includes a worm drive screw, a spur gear and superior and inferior screws which turn simultaneously in a bi-directional manner. A rotating mechanism drives the first and second screw members in opposite directions and causes the screw members to embed themselves in the members to be joined. The screw apparatus can be used to join members such as bones, portions of the spinal column, vertebral bodies, wood, building materials, metals, masonry, or plastics. A device employing two screws (two-in-one) can be combined with a capping horizontal mini-plate. A device employing three screws can be combined in enclosures (three-in-one). The stapling apparatus includes grip handles, transmission linkages, a drive rod a fulcrum and a cylinder. The staple has superior and inferior segments with serrated interfaces, a teethed unidirectional locking mechanism and four facet piercing elements. The staples can be also be used to join members such as bones, portions of the spinal column, or vertebral bodies.

A method of determining the size and trajectory of screws in pedicles during surgery, comprising generating a three-dimensional image of the bony spine; hollowing out the vertebra in the image with cortical wall thicknesses selected by a surgeon; determining the isthmus within each pedicle; generating a straight line starting at the center of the isthmus and extending in opposite directions so that it is positioned concentrically within the pedicle without touching the walls thereof, the line terminating inside the vertebral body a predetermined distance from the anterior inner cortical wall and extending outwardly in the opposite direction to penetrate the posterior pedicle cortex; expanding the line concentrically and radially to a cross sectional size that is less than that of the isthmus, the line being expanded into a cylinder that stops growing when any portion thereof contacts the inner cortical wall of the hollowed out vertebral body; and calculating pedicle screw size and trajectory based on the cylinder.

The invention relates to a point cloud data based single tree three-dimensional modeling and morphological parameter extracting method. The point cloud data based single tree three-dimensional modeling and morphological parameter extracting method comprises obtaining three-dimensional surface point cloud data of high density standing trees through a three-dimensional scanner or other live-action measuring modes, calculating the shortest distance from points to root nodes through a k-nearest neighbor graph, performing hierarchical clustering on the data according to distance, enabling centers of clustering hierarchies to be served as framework points of a limb system and meanwhile extracting corresponding semi-diameter of the framework points; connecting the framework points to establish a topological structure of branches and grading the branches; performing three-dimensional geometrical reconstruction on branches through a generalized cylinder body; adding leaf models to the limb system to form into a vivid three-dimensional single tree model; extracting height of trees, diameter of breast height and crown breadth of the standing trees in the point cloud. The point cloud data based single tree three-dimensional modeling and morphological parameter extracting method can rapidly and semi-automatically extract tree important geometrical parameters and topological information to form into the high vivid single tree geometric model and has wide application prospects and values in fields such as agriculture and forestry survey, ecological research and landscape planning.

An arthroeresis-prosthesis (endorthosis) system comprising a sinus tarsi implant for the purpose of blocking abnormal motion between the talus and calcaneus while allowing normal motion and alignment. In a preferred embodiment, the prosthetic device is composed of a non-metallic, specialized medical grade polymer (polyetheretherketone-PEEK) that is a combination of a frustum of a right cine and an axially extending cylinder that is cannulated and partially structured on the exterior surface.

A stent for implantation in a blood vessel is disclosed, especially in the region of the aortic arch. The stent is comprising rings which are disposed successively in the stent's longitudinal direction and which are made up of meandering circumferential supports. The stent further comprises a prosthesis material which is fixed to the rings and which connects them, thereby forming a hollow cylindrical body with a jacket which is substantially closed on the circumference thereof. At least one connecting support is provided between the last ring and the penultimate ring at the proximal end of the stent and connects these two rings to one another.

The invention relates to a multielectrode probe having a silicon substrate which supports multiple conductive electrodes for deep-brain electrical stimulation or recording of neural responses. The substrate has an upper end with multiple conductive portions for bonding to lead wires, and an elongated shank extends from the upper end. The shank supports multiple spaced-apart electrodes, typically ten in number, and conductive traces electrically connect the electrodes and conductive traces. Multiple probes are combined, and supported as an array by a cylindrical alignment cylinder.

A punch biopsy apparatus for removing all or a portion of a suspect dermal growth. A punch biopsy apparatus has: a hollow cylinder body; a coring blade at the base of the hollow cylinder body; at least one scooping blade pivotally secured by an axle and a pair of pivot seats within the cylinder body, where each scooping blade is semicircular, a longitudinally-moveable plunger secured within the hollow cylinder, where the plunger has at least one plunger leg for contacting each scooping blade, and each plunger leg transfers longitudinal plunger movement to its respective scooping blade, thereby causing rotational scooping-blade movement. This device helps minimize bleeding and minimize damage to the biopsy sample being retrieved.

An apparatus for detecting cervical cancer comprising, a mechanical structure configured to expose cervical region comprising, a first duck-billed blade forming a hollow cylinder at one end and a second duck-billed blade coupled to the first blade to form part of a speculum, in that the cervical region is exposed through circular area of the hollow cylinder, a pair of “L” shaped rods attached to the hollow cylinder of the first blade such that they are diagonally opposite and symmetric on either side of the exposed cervical region, and a detachable holder with a housing to hold a secondary unit and at least a pair of hooks to mount on the “L” shaped rods, the secondary unit further comprising, a camera for capturing an image of the exposed cervical region, a processor and a visual indicator to determine and indicate presence or absence of the cervix cancer from the image.
