A two-part screw system includes an inner member and a cannulated outer member that may be pre-assembled with an inner member driver and an outer member driver to form a surgical assembly. A method of inserting the two-part screw system includes advancing the inner member into the bone by using the inner member driver, and advancing the outer member into the bone by using the outer member driver. The inner member acts as a guide for the outer member, and eliminates the need for a separate guide wire. The pre-assembled nature of the surgical assembly eliminates the need to sequentially remove and apply drivers and implant parts. The inner member and the outer member are configured to integrate into a substantially solid body when in a final alignment, thus forming a stronger implant than a cannulated screw.

A method and apparatus for golfers, a training aid for detecting and indicating an out of balance condition of stance during practice swings. The device senses weight at the outer edge of the aft shoe of the user, calibrates or sets the weight sensed in a balanced stance condition as a null value or zero value, and signals the user when the weight then exceeds the null value.

Hemispherical dome comprising a plurality of rigid longitudinally extending and radially oriented cells of like size and shape, and arranged in a plurality of circular rows. Each cell is essentially frustopyramidal in shape, having a polygonal cross-sectional shape and tapering slightly in the longitudinal direction from one end to the other. The longitudinal edges of each cell lie along radii of the hemisphere. Each cell is a hollow structure, having side wall means which completely surround an interior air space and which include spaced apart top and bottom walls. It can be formed of a lightweight material, preferably a plastic and especially polycarbonate. The hemispherical dome of this invention provides a lightweight, strong and energy efficient structure which does not require internal supports.

A shaped, sacrificial anode for water tanks and a method of constructing the same from extruded sections is disclosed, particularly an anode having a greater mass adjacent to regions of the tank where improved corrosion protection is needed.
