A surgical frame and method for use thereof is provided. The surgical frame is capable of reconfiguration before, during, or after surgery. The surgical frame includes a main beam that can be rotated, raised/lowered, and tilted upwardly/downwardly to afford positioning and repositioning of a patient supported thereon. The main beam is capable of be reconfigured between a left configuration and a right configuration to support the patient in different positions thereon.

A thermal energy power device is disclosed. A gasification reactor is arranged on a TDC of a cylinder bulk of an internal combustion engine, wherein the gasification reactor includes gasifying plates (19) and gas holes (23). The gasifying plates are arranged with gaps on the TDC of the cylinder. The gas holes (23) are distributed evenly, in an array, or in a staggered manner on the gasifying plate (19). A cylinder head above the gasification reactor is provided with an atomizer (12). Heat absorption plates (26) are arranged inside the exhaust passage in parallel with an air flow direction. The heat absorption plates (26) absorb thermal energy of exhaust gas and transfer the thermal energy to the gasification reactor. The internal combustion engine is wrapped with an insulation layer. An added working stroke enables the temperature of the cylinder bulk to be lowered. The compression ratio is high. After being filtered by a cooler and a liquid storage tank, the discharged exhaust gas is more environmentally friendly than existing engines. After the temperature of the cylinder bulk is lowered, the discharged exhaust gas is filtered by the cooler and the liquid storage tank without noise. A working stroke is added, and the thermal energy utilization rate increases by 20%-95%. Thermal energy utilization is performed directly on the exhaust passage, and a heat dissipation water tank is not required.
