20100179846 | COMPUTERIZED PERSONAL SHOPPING ASSISTANT ORDERING IN A STORE - One embodiment for ordering one or more items, i.e., goods or services, within a store includes choosing, by a person in a store, the one or more items on a computerized personal shopping assistant, wherein the computerized personal shopping assistant may be optionally associated with a cart. Further, the method includes selecting, by the person in the store, a request date-time on the computerized personal shopping assistant for each of the one or more items chosen, and, thereby, resulting in an order of one or more selected items at a selection date-time, wherein the request date-time is subsequent to the selection date-time. Further still, transmitting, by the computerized personal shopping assistant, the order to a data collection center associated with the store. Yet further, the method includes filling, by the store, the order after the transmitting and then providing the order by the request date-time subsequent to purchasing the order. | 07-15-2010 |

20090216328 | SPINAL FIXATION ELEMENT AND METHODS - A spinal fixation element is provided having a feature formed thereon that facilitates placement of the spinal fixation element through an access device, thus allowing the spinal fixation element to be positioned in relation to a spinal anchor that is coupled to the access device and that is implanted in a vertebra in a patient's spine. The feature also optionally facilitates placement of the spinal fixation element in relation to spinal anchors implanted in adjacent vertebrae. In particular, the spinal fixation element is adapted for use with an access device that has at least one slot or opening formed therein and having a width that is less than a width of the feature, thus preventing the feature from passing therethrough. The spinal fixation element can therefore be inserted through the access device, and a portion of the fixation element can be passed through the slot or opening in the access device while the feature is retained in the access device. As a result, the feature is seated within a spinal anchor that is coupled to the access device, and the remaining portion of the spinal fixation element can extend through the slot, preferably to be positioned within a spinal anchor disposed within an adjacent vertebra. | 08-27-2009 |
20120221006 | Method for Manipulating Intervertebral Tissue - A method for manipulating intervertebral tissue in one embodiment includes inserting at least one abrading member for abrading tissue into an area to be cleared, expanding at least one expandable member from a first condition to a second condition, wherein the volume defined by the at least one expandable member in the second condition is greater than the volume defined by the at least one expandable member in the first condition, moving the inserted at least one abrading member from a first position to a second position by the expansion of the at least one expandable member, manipulating the inserted at least one abrading member to loosen tissue, and removing the loosened tissue from the area to be cleared. | 08-30-2012 |
20150045798 | Device and Method For Manipulating Intervertebral Tissue - A system and method for manipulating intervertebral tissue in one embodiment includes a conduit, a segmented expansion media configured to pass through the conduit, and an expandable node comprising a plurality of abrading strands and operably connected to the intervertebral tissue removal system conduit so as to receive the segmented expansion media therein, the expandable node expandable from a first condition whereat the plurality of abrading strands define at least one opening having a first maximum diameter, to an expanded condition whereat the at least one opening has a second maximum diameter larger than the first maximum diameter, wherein the second maximum diameter is less than a minimum diameter of the segmented expansion media, such that insertion of the segmented expansion media through the intervertebral tissue removal system conduit and into the expandable node causes the expandable node to expand from the first condition to the expanded condition. | 02-12-2015 |

20150105860 | SPINAL FUSION IMPLANT - The present invention provides a device and methodology for use in spinal fusion surgeries. An implant is proved for forming a rigid structure between adjoining vertebrae in a patient. The implant is a cage defined by at least a first end, second end, first side, and second side surface, wherein first and second side surfaces extend substantially parallel to each other to span a space between adjoining vertebrae and first and second ends interconnect said first side surface and second side surface. The cage incorporates one or more flexible joints that allow the cage to be deformed for insertion into a patient. The ability to deform the cage allows a greater ease and flexibility in inserting and positioning the implant. | 04-16-2015 |

20110193624 | TUNABLE IMPEDANCE INVERTER FOR DOHERTY AMPLIFIER CIRCUIT - A tunable impedance inverter is presented for a Doherty amplifier circuit having first and second amplifiers connected in parallel between an input circuit for receiving an input signal and an output circuit for supplying an output signal to a load. An impedance inverter is coupled between the first amplifier and the output circuit. The inverter has an input and an output and a tunable mechanical strip line of variable electrical length interposed between the input and the output. An adjuster adjusts the electrical length of the strip line. The adjuster adjustably varies the electrical length of said pathway to thereby adjust the center frequency of said output signal. | 08-11-2011 |

20080281944 | Method and system for extending the capabilities of embedded devices through network clients - A method and system for extending the capabilities of resource-constrained embedded devices by leveraging the memory and processing resources of clients such as web browsers (“clients”) installed on host computational devices (“host computers”). The embedded device delegates computational tasks such as generation of content (e.g., user interfaces, reports, configuration files, etc.) to clients and acts as a simple file and data server. The embedded device provides static resource files to each client, including static template files and a client processing engine. The client processing engine: interprets processing instructions contained in static template files; utilizes managed communication channels to exchange dynamic data sets with the embedded device in real-time; generates various forms of content by processing, transforming, manipulating, and aggregating dynamic data sets and static resource files; and reads and writes arbitrarily large files from and to the host computer, overcoming resource limitations of the embedded device. | 11-13-2008 |
20140337300 | Method and System for Organizing and Storing Manufacturing Process Information - A method and system for capturing, organizing, storing, and analyzing manufacturing process information, with storage and performance characteristics suitable for use in resource-constrained embedded devices. Process information is organized into extensible Channels, each of which captures information stored as extensible Events, each of which may include Metric, Category Value, Annotation, and System Fields. Shared Boundaries between Channels make it easier to organize, store, interrelate, analyze, and explore information. Channel Boundary Relationships (e.g., Coupling, Fragmenting, Projecting, and Aggregating) create shared Boundaries; and can create, or be combined to create, sets of Channels that share Boundaries (referred to as a Slice Set). Shared Boundaries and Channel Boundary Relationships facilitate rule-based traversal of Exploration Hierarchies constructed from Channels, Categories, and Metrics, which enable users to view, analyze, interpret, understand, and otherwise benefit from Metrics and other information while traversing groups of Categories. | 11-13-2014 |
