    Abstract: Knee prostheses featuring components that more faithfully replicate the structure and function of the human knee joint in order to provide, among other benefits: greater flexion of the knee in a more natural way by promoting or at least accommodating internal tibial rotation in a controlled way, replication of the natural screw home mechanism, and controlled articulation of the tibia and femur respective to each other in a more natural way. In a preferred embodiment, such prostheses include an insert component disposed between a femoral component and a tibial component, the insert component preferably featuring among other things a reversely contoured posterolateral bearing surface that helps impart internal rotation to the tibia as the knee flexes. Other surfaces can also be specially shaped to achieve similar results, preferably using iterative automated techniques that allow testing and iterative design taking into account a manageable set of major forces acting on the knee during normal functioning, together with information that is known about natural knee joint kinetics and kinematics.

    Abstract: In one embodiment an apparatus for input of control signals is for moving an object in three spatial directions and three rotational directions and for connection to a computational unit with a display which displays at least partial areas of the object. The apparatus comprises a carrier element, an input element which is moveable with respect to the carrier element for input of the control signals, and an actuator, which is arranged at the carrier element. The actuator is designed as a rotatable or slideable element in order to detect further inputs of a user and extends at least partially around the input element.

    Abstract: Systems and methods for providing a reference for an acetabular cup plane in accordance with embodiments of the invention can include a method performed by a computer-aided surgical navigational system with a display screen and at least one sensor. The method can include detecting at least one array associated with a platform upon which the patient is supported in a supine position. The method can also include defining a surgical reference plane for a surgical procedure associated with an acetabular component, based at least in part on detecting the array associated with the upper surface of the platform. Furthermore, the method can include outputting via the screen at least one user interface for use with the surgical procedure associated with an acetabular component, based at least in part on detecting the array associated with the upper surface of the platform.

    Abstract: A process for nucleating and growing oxygen precipitates in a silicon wafer, including subjecting a wafer having a non-uniform concentration of crystal lattice vacancies with the concentration of vacancies in the bulk layer being greater than the concentration of vacancies in the surface layer to a non-isothermal heat treatment to form of a denuded zone in the surface layer and to cause the formation and stabilization of oxygen precipitates having an effective radial size 0.5 nm to 30 nm in the bulk layer. The process optionally includes subjecting the stabilized wafer to a high temperature thermal process (e.g. epitaxial deposition, rapid thermal oxidation, rapid thermal nitridation and etc.) at temperatures in the range of 1000 OC to 1275 OC without causing the dissolution of the stabilized oxygen precipitates.
