20110022095 | Modular Multi-Level Spine Stabilization System and Method - A multi-level spine stabilization system comprises a plurality of securing members configured for attachment to a plurality of vertebrae. A plurality of adjustable rods segments extend between the plurality of securing members. The adjustable rod comprises a first rod segment that engages a second rod segment in an adjustable relationship. The length of the rod may be adjusted by moving the first rod segment relative to the second rod segment. For example, the first rod segment may be in a slideable relationship with the second rod segment such that sliding the first rod segment relative to the second rod segment results in a change in the length of the rod. In one embodiment, portions of both the first rod segment and the second rod segment are positioned within and secured to the securing member. Advantageously, the multi-level spine stabilization system described herein may be used to center dynamic portions of the rod between securing members. | 01-27-2011 |
20110046678 | Facet Joint Prosthesis - Various methods and devices are provided for a facet replacement device. In one embodiment of the invention, a facet replacement device is provided and includes an elongate member matable to a first vertebra and a housing. The housing can have a connector formed thereon and matable to an adjacent second vertebra and an inner lumen formed therein. The housing can also include a deformable member disposed within the inner lumen and having an opening formed therein for slidably receiving at least a portion of the elongate member such that the elongate member can be angularly oriented relative to a longitudinal axis of the lumen. | 02-24-2011 |
20130289624 | Modular Multi-Level Spine Stabilization System and Method - A multi-level spine stabilization system is formed by providing a plurality of securing members, providing a plurality of rod segments configured to extend between the plurality of securing members, selecting a first rod segment from the plurality of rod segments based upon a first distance between a first vertebra and an adjacent second vertebra, selecting a second rod segment from the plurality of rod segments based upon a second distance between the second vertebra and an adjacent third vertebra, attaching a first, a second, and a third of the plurality of securing members to the first, the second, and the third vertebrae, respectively, forming a rod using the first and second rod segment, and attaching the rod to the first, the second, and the third securing members. | 10-31-2013 |

20080235062 | METHOD AND SYSTEM FOR INITIALLY PROJECTING AN INSURANCE COMPANY'S NET LOSS FROM A MAJOR LOSS EVENT - A system and method by which an insurance company can project an initial net projected loss arising from a major loss event quickly after the occurrence of the event. The system uses a networked central repository, such as an electronic collaboration site, for collecting and sharing information to be used in the initial net loss projection process. After the occurrence of a major incident, media reports can be reviewed to identify entities involved in, or affected by, the event. In-force insurance policies and applicable reinsurance information of the identified entities are collected and stored in the repository and reviewed to identify those that should be included in the initial net loss projection. Additional information can be entered into a policy database regarding those policies which allows aggregation of net policy limits and an initial projection of the net loss arising from the major loss event. | 09-25-2008 |
20090063200 | METHOD AND SYSTEM FOR INITIALLY PROJECTING AN INSURANCE COMPANY'S NET LOSS FROM A MAJOR LOSS EVENT USING A NETWORKED COMMON INFORMATION REPOSITORY - A system and method by which an insurance company can make a loss estimate resulting from a loss event use a networked central repository, such as an electronic collaboration site, for collecting and sharing information to be used in the loss projection process. The common repository can be provided on a computer network that is accessible by a plurality of computers. Upon identifying an incident as likely causing a major loss, information concerning the event can be stored in the repository and reviewed to identify entities involved in, or affected by, the event. A database of in-force insurance policies can be searched for policies held by the identified entities. These identified policies can be reviewed to identify those that should be included in the loss estimate. The loss estimate for the event is generated based on the identified in-force policies. | 03-05-2009 |
