A tissue repair assembly for attachment of tissue to bone or tissue to tissue having a soft anchoring implantwith a length of suturethere through for tensioning the implant and facilitating attachment of other tissue. The implantis a soft, flexible, three-dimensional structure that has a resident volume. An inserter tubefacilitates the placement of the implantinto bone or adjacent soft tissue where it may be deployed. Upon deployment, the soft anchoring implantshortens axially and expands radially, achieving a larger diameter than the hole through which it was placed, thus resisting pull out.

Tissue repair assembly

Power transmitted from a cyclist to a bicycle through crank arms is indirectly measured by performing calculations on direct physical measurements. The direct physical measurements are taken from sensors that can be non-rotationally coupled to the frame of the bicycle. The sensors can be integrated into the frame or installed as a module within a standard, unmodified bicycle bottom bracket. Measured power can be viewed by the cyclist using a wirelessly connected user interface device.

Systems and methods for measuring drivetrain power transmission

A system for automatically collecting and separating whole blood into its components is described. The system includes a console, which contains all motors, pumps, sensors, valves and control circuitry, and a unique disposable set that includes a cassette supporting a centrifuge with an improved design, pump interfaces with an improved design, component and solution bags, and tubing. Various processes are implemented using a specific disposable set for each process which allows automatic identification of the process to be performed the console.

Method of simultaneous blood collection and separation using a continuous flow centrifuge having a separation channel

A system for automatically processing blood components is described.

Integrated automatic blood processing unit

A blood processing system (), includes a housing (), to which a user control panel is mounted, having an access opening () therein. A cassette assembly (), mounted to the housing for movement between a use position covering the access opening and a cassette-replacement position, includes a cassette holder and cassette () removably mounted to the holder. The cassette includes in part by tubing aligned with a through-hole () in the cassette. A door () is mounted to the housing for movement between a latched position, capturing the cassette between the panel and the door, and a released position. Independently-driven roller assemblies () pass part-way through the access opening to capture first tubing portions (A,A,A) between the roller tracks () and the roller assemblies for peristaltic pumping of fluid. A number of movable pinch elements () are extendable through the front panel to selectively pinch the tubing against the door and thus seal the tubing.
