20120059479APPARATUS AND METHOD FOR PERFORMING SPINAL SURGERY - An embodiment of an intervertebral prosthetic device for implantation in a spine includes a rigid fixation member and a compressible member. The fixation member is configured to be placed in a cavity of a first vertebral body and against bone of the first vertebral body. The compressible member is configured to be placed in a cavity in an intervertebral disc and to be secured to the first fixation member. Another embodiment includes two compressible members and one fixation member. In this embodiment, the first and second compressible members are sized to substantially replace the nucleus pulposus of first and a second intervertebral discs, respectively, on either side of a vertebral body. The fixation member is sized to fit within a cavity in the vertebral body between the first and second compressible members.03-08-2012

20080294509DETERMINING ADVERTISING EFFECTIVENESS - The effectiveness of an advertisement may be determined. The advertisement and an incentive may be received at a data server. An online request from a consumer for a product may be received. The product may correspond to the incentive. The advertisement may be presented to a consumer. The advertisement may be presented in connection with the incentive and a first identifier. The first identifier may be generated unique to the presentation of the advertisement. The first identifier may include a bar code. When the incentive is redeemed, data indicative of the incentive being redeemed may be correlated to the first identifier. The incentive may be redeemed at a physical store, at an online store, and the like. First data indicative of the incentive being redeemed may be received. The first data may be correlated with the first identifier. The advertisement may be correlated to the redemption of the incentive.11-27-2008

20080294511INCENTIVIZING CONSUMER PURCHASES - A system and method for directing a consumer to a first location is disclosed. The system may include a datastore and a processor. The datastore may store first data indicative of a product, a first location, and an incentive. The incentive may be redeemable at the first location. The processor may be in communication with the datastore. The processor may receive an online request for the product from the consumer. The consumer may be presented with a description of the product and a video associated with the product. The processor may present to the consumer second data indicative of the incentive and the first location. The second data may reference the online request. The second data may be presented in a printable form.11-27-2008

20080310808PHOTONIC WAVEGUIDE STRUCTURE WITH PLANARIZED SIDEWALL CLADDING LAYER - A photonic waveguide structure includes a first photonic waveguide layer located over a substrate. A sidewall cladding layer is located cladding a sidewall, but not covering a top, of the first photonic waveguide layer. A second photonic waveguide layer may be located upon the top of the sidewall cladding layer while contacting, but not straddling, the first photonic waveguide layer. The sidewall cladding layer protects the first photonic waveguide layer from environmental exposure, thus providing enhanced performance of a photonic waveguide structure. A planarizing sidewall cladding layer allows the fabrication of optical chips with multiple layers of lithographically defined devices.12-18-2008

20080317988CLOSED HYBRID STRUCTURE AND METHOD - Various hybrid structures and methods of making the hybrid structures are provided. In one embodiment, a hybrid structure includes a backbone member of a first material composition and a secondary member of a second material composition different than the backbone member. The backbone member includes at least one closed portion along the length of the backbone member having a cross-section which varies along the length of the backbone, and the secondary member is disposed about at least a portion of the backbone member. In another embodiment, the secondary member extends about a portion of the external surface of the backbone member, through an opening of the backbone member and to the interior of the backbone member to interlock with the backbone member.12-25-2008

20080214146Block-Based Encoding and Decoding Information Transference System and Method - Methods, apparatuses, and systems enabling an information exchange system allowing for the transmission of a message carrier containing at least one message code along with video and television data, as well as subsequent capture and decoding of the message carrier to identify the at least one message code. As discussed herein, implementations of the invention can be used in connection with an electronic commerce and data interchange system featuring a Universal Digital Assistant (UDA) that facilitates financial transactions and data interchange, as well as dissemination, management and exchange of commercial information (e.g., advertising, promotions, sales announcements, and the like) and personal information (e.g., address and other contact information, driver's license number, and memberships). The invention, in one implementation, provides an end-to-end e-commerce solution that can transform a mobile phone/PDA (Personal Digital Assistant) into a Universal Digital Assistant configured to receive data (e.g., advertising, promotions, and sales announcement information) based on message codes encoded into message carriers disseminated through advertising and content from analog and digital television broadcasts, television receivers, the Internet, wireless signals, radio broadcasts, satellite broadcasts, and print media.09-04-2008
