20100234846 | INTRAMEDULLARY RADIAL HEAD LOCKING PIN IMPLANT - The invention provides an intramedullary radial head locking pin implant device having a substantially cylindrical elongate member with a proximal end and a distal end, the implant narrowing at its distal end. The implant includes at least three openings for locking screws to engage therethrough. One opening is located near the proximal end of the implant for a locking screw to be inserted in the radial head; the two remaining openings are located near the distal end of the implant for two locking screws to be inserted into the bone shaft. The proximal end of the implant is formed as a fixation point for securing an external jig system to align the locking screws. | 09-16-2010 |
20110218532 | CORONOID FRACTURE FIXATION DEVICE - The invention provides a coronoid process fracture fixation device having an elongate body and a stop piece attached to one end. The elongate body is adapted for passing through the proximal ulna, across the fracture, and through the coronoid process. The stop piece, once it passes through the bone, deploys to an extended position approximately perpendicular to the elongate body and prevents the fixation device from backing out of the bone. Once inserted and the stop piece is deployed, the fixation device is fixed in place by a removable retaining device. | 09-08-2011 |
20120010667 | FRACTURE-SPECIFIC DISTAL RADIUS PLATES - The invention provides an improved distal radius locking plate having a body comprising a shaft portion and a head portion. The shaft portion is adapted for receiving bone screws to fix the bone plate to a shaft of the radius. The head portion includes a first head section and a second head section. The first and second head sections extend laterally away from a longitudinal axis of the shaft portion in generally opposite directions, generally forming a T-shape. The first and second head sections are configured and arranged to secure a plurality of bone screws in the radius. Further, the plate may be configured with one or more prongs that can attach to small bone fragments. The plate of the present invention can be used as a guide in reducing the fracture prior to fixation since the plate has a precontoured shape matching the shape of an unfractured distal radius. The plate of the present invention may be sized and configured to match the contour of the palmar lip of the lunate facet. Alternatively, the plate of the present invention may be sized and configured to match the contour of the floor of the fourth extensor compartment. | 01-12-2012 |
20120016366 | Proximal Radius Locking Plate - The invention provides a proximal radius locking plate having a body comprising an elongate shaft portion and a head portion. The plate may have a gentle S-shape and a proximal twist. The shaft portion is adapted for receiving bone screws to fix the bone plate to a shaft of the radius. The head portion includes a first head section and a second head section. The first and second head sections extend laterally away from a longitudinal axis of the shaft portion in generally opposite directions, generally forming a T-shape. The first and second head sections are configured and arranged to secure a plurality of bone screws divergently implanted in the head of proximal radius. The shaft portion is thinner proximally in order to preserve the biceps tendon. Moreover, the plate of the present invention can be used as a guide in reducing the fracture prior to fixation since the plate has a precontoured shape matching the shape of an unfractured proximal radius. | 01-19-2012 |

20150163142 | DETECTING AN ELEPHANT FLOW BASED ON THE SIZE OF A PACKET - Some embodiments provide a forwarding element that inspects the size of each of several packets in a data flow to determine whether the data flow is an elephant flow. The forwarding element inspects the size because, in order for the packet to be of a certain size, the data flow had to already have gone through a slow start in which smaller packets are transferred and by definition be an elephant flow. When the forwarding element receives a packet in a data flow, the forwarding element identifies the size of the packet. The forwarding element then determines if the size of the packet is greater than a threshold size. If the size is greater, the forwarding element specifies that the packet's data flow is an elephant flow. | 06-11-2015 |

20080255886 | System and Method of Confirming a Transaction Between Parties - A service confirmation system records a disclosure of a transaction between first and second parties. The disclosure is confirmed for accuracy and sufficiency and then stored in a computer system. The confirmation can be retrieved to review the disclosure of the transaction. The confirmation is made by a third party to the transaction and includes voice as well as video data. The voice data can be analyzed for accuracy. The disclosure includes elements of suitability of the transaction for benefit of the second party. The disclosure covers areas such as start date, cost, fees, benefits, cancellation, and other topics material to the transaction. The elements of suitability involve income, financial obligations, assets, health, family, insurance coverage, and personal goals. The recording reveals subjective confirmation factors such as sufficiency of disclosure, suitability assessment criteria, basis for purchase decision, demeanor of the parties, environment, representations, tone, party actions, and purchase reasoning. | 10-16-2008 |

20110074585 | PATIENT TRACKING SYSTEM - Provided are a method and system for tracking a patient at a medical facility. Tracking the patient includes, using a computer comprising an input peripheral manipulated by a user, receiving a first location of the patient within the medical facility identified by the user via the input peripheral. The first location is displayed on a display device operatively connected to the computer, the first location being identified by a graphical marker representing the first location where the patient can be found. In response to a user interaction with the input peripheral, a second location of the patient is received, indicating movement of the patient from the first location to the second, different location. In response to receiving the second location, the graphical marker on the display device operatively connected to the computer is moved to identify the second location where the patient can be found after being moved. | 03-31-2011 |
