20110049759 | VACUUM TRANSITION FOR SOLDER BUMP MOLD FILLING - A bond metal injection tool can include a fill head having a sealed chamber for containing a molten bond metal (e.g., solder) and a gas, and a nozzle for directing a flow of the molten bond metal into cavities in a major surface of a mold. A pressure control device can controllably apply pressure within the chamber to eject the bond metal from the nozzle into the cavities. The pressure control device may also controllably reduce a pressure within the chamber to inhibit the bond metal from being ejected from the nozzle, such as when the fill head is being moved onto the mold surface from a parking location or when the fill head is being moved off the mold surface onto a parking location. | 03-03-2011 |

20120197409 | CONSTRAINED KNEE PROSTHESIS - A tibial insert includes a base and a post extending from the base along a longitudinal axis. The post has a medial surface, a lateral surface, and a height along the longitudinal axis. The medial surface has a medial section, and the lateral surface has a lateral section oriented substantially parallel to the medial section. The medial section and the lateral section each have a width in a substantially anterior-posterior direction that is sufficient to enable varus/valgus constraint over a flexion/extension range from extension to about 90 to 120 degrees of flexion when the tibial insert is mated with a femoral component. | 08-02-2012 |

20130275524 | Time Sensitive Audio and Text Feedback Process for a Prioritized Media Rich Digital Messaging System - This invention relates to a messaging priority system that allows for a rich-media digital message sent over an electronic media to an intended recipient to be prioritized over several levels. Each level corresponds to a time limit. If the message does not reach or is not viewed by the intended recipient within the selected level's time limit, a notification is sent to the sender informing that the message was not viewed within the time limit. The rich-media digital message includes text, images, video and audio all sent over electronic media including email, text, instant message, and the like. The notification back to the sender that the message was unread in the allotted time is a dual notification that includes both text and audio. | 10-17-2013 |
