| 20100234962 | CONSTRAINED PROSTHETIC KNEE WITH ROTATING BEARING - A constrained prosthetic knee having a modular hinge post and a rotating bearing. A cannulated hinge post is rotatably connected to the femoral component of the knee prosthesis so that a hinge post extension may be anteriorly positioned through the hinge post and into the tibial component of the knee prosthesis, after positioning of the femoral component in the femur and the tibial component in the tibia. The hinge post is preassembled to the femoral component so that such assembly is not required during the implantation procedure. A meniscal component forming the rotating bearing of the knee prosthesis is packaged together with the hinge post extension so that the appropriate hinge post extension is readily available. The meniscal component includes a mechanism for preventing lift off of the meniscal component from the tibial component, while allowing rotation of the meniscal component relative to the tibial component. | 09-16-2010 |

| 20080234664 | HANDPIECE CALIBRATION DEVICE - A calibration device for a milling instrument. The calibration device may be a burr guard which may be attached to the milling instrument. The calibration device may calibrate the milling instrument to provide a predetermined depth of alteration to an anatomical structure. | 09-25-2008 |
| 20090281583 | FEMORAL TROCHLEA PROSTHESES - Various embodiments of femoral trochlea prostheses useable in a knee joint. The knee joint includes a patella and a distal femur with a femoral trochlea, or patello-femoral groove. In one embodiment, a femoral trochlea prosthesis includes a distal tail. In another embodiment, a femoral trochlea prosthesis includes a wing or extension portion. In yet another embodiment, a set of femoral trochlea prostheses includes a plurality of prostheses having differing thicknesses. In still another embodiment, a femoral trochlea prosthesis includes a porous medium on various portions of the prosthesis. | 11-12-2009 |
| 20100076441 | PATELLO-FEMORAL MILLING SYSTEM - An orthopedic system prepares a surface of an anatomical structure to receive an orthopedic prosthesis. A method for using the same is also disclosed. The orthopedic system includes a surgical instrument and a guide. The guide includes an anterior portion and a distal portion that is at least partially elevated relative to the anterior portion. The distal portion includes at least one track that is sized to receive the surgical instrument while preparing the surface of the anatomical structure. | 03-25-2010 |

| 20090089852 | Automated Multimedia Channel Error Reporting from Viewer Premises - Multimedia data representative of a multimedia channel is received at a set top box (STB) device located at a viewer's premises from a service provider. The multimedia data is processed at the STB device for presentation of the multimedia channel at a display device located at the viewer's premises. The STB device identifies an artifact during the processing of the multimedia data that is expected to affect the presentation of the multimedia channel and generates an error indicator based on the artifact. The STB device provides the error indicator for reception by the service provider. The error indicator then may be used by the service provider to identify and correct any related errors or malfunctions. | 04-02-2009 |
| 20090328090 | Digital Television Channel Trending - Channel trending, including determining a number of viewers watching a multimedia program, is achieved in a digital television network. Cached multimedia frames that correspond to portions of the multimedia program are maintained, for example, on a device located on an edge (i.e., in a network edge device) of the digital television network. In response to a request from a client device (e.g., a set-top box) to receive the multimedia program, cached multimedia frames are fed from the edge device to the client device. Upon a seamless transfer or handoff resulting in a simulcast replicator or multicast replicator providing further portions of the multimedia program, a signal (e.g., a simple network management protocol TRAP statement) is sent to a viewership statistic server for incrementing a counter. | 12-31-2009 |
| 20100027613 | ADAPTIVE LANGUAGE DESCRIPTORS - A disclosed methodology for processing language descriptors includes receiving streaming multimedia content that includes initial language descriptors. Portions of the multimedia content stream are encapsulated into packets that include an indication of the initial language descriptors. Later in time, further language descriptors are received with the streaming multimedia content. As a series of packets created from the multimedia content stream are processed, the indication of received language descriptor is adapted to account for any change in the language of audio tracks received with the streaming multimedia content. | 02-04-2010 |

| 20080250948 | Hard disk destruction apparatus and method - A hard disk destruction apparatus is presented having a penetrating point that is manually pressed against a hard disk. The point has an angled tip designed to penetrate the hard disk casing and deform the hard disk platters within. The manual pressing avoids the use of any electrical power or other fuel. In one described embodiment, a mechanical arbor press provides the necessary force. A transparent safety shield surrounds the hard disk during destruction. A restraint prevents upward movement of the hard disk when the point is extracted. | 10-16-2008 |

| 20120012603 | METHOD AND SYSTEM FOR ACCOMPLISHING PRODUCT DETECTION - The present invention provides for a vending system wherein a monitoring system verifies that a product ordered by a vending customer is actually delivered through a delivery area to the customer. If the product ordered is unavailable either because of an out of stock situation or a blockage of the delivery path for that product, the present invention allows the customer to request a refund or order a second product. Additionally, the present invention helps to prevent theft of product from the vending system. | 01-19-2012 |
