20090275987BONE PLATE EXTENDER AND EXTENSION SYSTEM FOR BONE RESTORATION AND METHODS OF USE THEREOF - The disclosure includes a bone plate extender and extension system. The system includes a first bone plate extender and may additionally include a bone fixation element and/or an additional bone plate. The bone plate extender may be affixed to a bone portion at one end, for instance, a fractured bone portion, via a bone fixation element, and associated with a second bone plate at an opposite end, so as to facilitate alignment and stabilization of the bone and thereby correct and treat a bone fracture. The bone plate extender may include an extended body, which includes a bone plate engagement portion, a bone fixation portion, and an intercalating portion there between. In certain variations, the extended body is planar, and in certain variations the extended body is angled, curved or arced. Methods of using such bone plate extension systems for the reduction, restoration and treatment of bone fractures are also provided.11-05-2009
20100057213ARTHROPLASTIC IMPLANT WITH SHIELD FOR BASILAR JOINT AND RELATED METHODS - An arthroplastic implant for a basilar joint of a hand of a patient includes a body having a distal surface and a proximal surface opposite therefrom. The distal surface is to be positioned adjacent a first metacarpal bone at the basilar joint of the hand of the patient. The arthroplastic implant also includes a shield extending outwardly from the distal surface of the body to shield adjacent portions of the first metacarpal bone and a second metacarpal bone of the hand of the patient.03-04-2010
20100057214ARTHRODESIS IMPLANT FOR FINGER JOINTS AND RELATED METHODS - An arthrodesis implant is for a finger joint of a hand of a patient. The arthrodesis implant may include an extramedullary proximal anchor including a first member having a fastener-receiving passageway therethrough to receive a fastener to anchor the first member to an extramedullary portion of a proximal bone of the finger joint of the hand of the patient. The arthrodesis implant may also include an intramedullary distal anchor having a second member for being anchored within an intramedullary portion of a distal bone of the finger joint of the hand of the patient, and a coupling for securing the first and second members together.03-04-2010

20090070175Mobile-Based Systems And Methods For Processing Fuel Orders - Systems and methods for handling fuel orders. A system can include application software that is configured for operation upon a vehicle operator's communication device. The application software receives fuel order data and displays the received data to the fuel vehicle driver. The received fuel order data is for use in handling logistics related to picking up from a fuel source and delivering petrochemical fuel to a fuel destination.03-12-2009
20090299805Server-based systems and methods for processing fuel orders - Systems and methods for handling fuel orders. A system and method can include using a plurality of data interfaces, wherein a first data interface is operable to receive fuel order data from order senders. A database operating on a server is used for storing the fuel order data. Semantic fuel order business rules accessible through a server arc used for constructing groups of orders that comprise shifts so that drivers can fulfill orders specified in the stored fuel order data. A second data interface is operable to send fuel order data generated from the server database to a fuel vehicle operator's communication device.12-03-2009

Patent application numberDescriptionPublished
20110304202BATTERY DISCONNECTION IN ELECTRIC VEHICLES - Systems and methods for disconnection of battery power from vehicular components in an electric vehicle upon the occurrence of a crash event are described. In an embodiment of an electric vehicle, upon detection of a crash event, an appropriate signal is transmitted through a controller area network (CAN). A battery management unit (BMU) detects the signal and then severs a power connection between the battery and one or more vehicular components of the electric vehicle. In another embodiment of an electric vehicle, a crash event is detected and a signal to deploy an airbag and/or a pretensioner is emitted. Once a decision is made to deploy the airbag and/or the to pretensioner, the BMU then cuts off battery power to one or more vehicular components of the electric vehicle.12-15-2011

20110202329Scenario State Processing Systems And Methods For Operation Within A Grid Computing Environment - Systems and methods are provided for generating multiple system state projections for one or more scenarios using a grid computing environment. A central coordinator software component executes on a root data processor and provides commands and data to a plurality of node coordinator software components. A node coordinator software component manages threads which execute on its associated node data processor and which perform a set of matrix operations. Stochastic simulations use results of the matrix operations to generate multiple state projections. Additional processing can be performed by the grid computing environment based upon the generated state projections, such as to develop risk information for users.08-18-2011
