This year, the company bolstered its position as a leader in laser vision correction devices when it completed a deal for the eye-laser maker IntraLase valued at $808 million.
A number of alternative flow correction devices were tested using computational fluid dynamics.
Fusionless scoliosis correction devices have subsequently been tested in these models.
Compression-based fusionless scoliosis correction devices have been used to induce scoliosis (inverse approach) as an indication for their potential corrective efficacy in large animals.
The two correction devices used were the Limb Reconstruction System (LRS), a monolateral device, manufactured by Orthofix and the Ilizarov frame, a circular fixator, manufactured by Smith and Nephew.
Using a pneumatic plot drill and positioning tools (GPS and on-site correction devices), plots were seeded at the pre-defined rows with untreated maize at the rate of 9 10 seeds m−2 on 21 May.
This could be achieved by multiconjugate adaptive optics [ 20], where two or more correction devices with a fixed correction applied are optically conjugated with different planes to create an appropriate aberration combination at different points in the focal plane.
