Abstract:
A bone graft material which comprises an expanded volume of a biocompatible material in convoluted form. Typically, the material has a volume increase of at least two fold, preferably five to fifteen fold.
A bone grafting and/or shaping instrument includes a handle portion, a collection chamber and a blade. Features on the blade cooperate with features on the collection chamber to secure the blade to the collection chamber. A flexible joint between the collection chamber and the handle portion allows the user to orient the cutting edge of the blade in any desired position relative to the handle portion.
A bone grafting and/or shaping instrument includes a handle portion (), a collection chamber () and a blade (). Features on the blade cooperate with features on the collection chamber to secure the blade to the collection chamber. A flexible or bendable joint () between the collection chamber () and the handle portion () allows the user to orient the cutting edge () of the blade in any desired position relative to the handle portion. Features and methods are provided to easily, rapidly and safely load and unload the blade from the handle without touching the blade with the fingers.

Abstract:
Wire for repairing or changing circuit elements such as printed circuits, has heat-resistant insulation surrounded by a hot-melt adhesive. The wire is attached to the surface of printed circuit boards easily by applying a hot iron to the adhesive layer on the wire and melting the adhesive which then adheres to the board surface. The coating is applied by passing insulated wire vertically through a length of molten adhesive and then through a die. Printed circuit board modifications can be made quickly and easily and at a relatively low cost.

Abstract:
An instrument for harvesting bone comprises an elongate body having a hollow, and a proximal end and a distal end communicating with one another through the hollow. A blade having a curved cutting edge for cutting or abrading bone is mounted adjacent an aperture in the distal end. The cut or abraded bone moves through the aperture and into the hollow.
A light-weight print head having an array of LED light emitting elements positioned adjacent an apertured mask is employed to photographically record at very high speeds characters having high resolution so that they are suitable for phototypesetting. The light transmitting apertures have a cross-sectional area substantially smaller than the cross-sectional area of the LEDs and since the apertures may be very accurately positioned with respect to each other, high character resolutions are obtainable despite misalignment between the mask and the array of LEDs. A flat, lightweight, flexible ribbon of conductors is coupled between the moving scanning head and a stationary source of electrical signals. An electrically insulating, opaque filler may advantageously be employed between the LEDs.
