摘要:
Systems and method in accordance with an embodiment of the present invention can includes an implant comprising a first wing, a spacer extending from the first wing, and a distraction guide. The distraction guide is arranged in a first configuration to pierce and/or distract tissue associated with adjacent spinous processes extending from vertebrae of a targeted motion segment. The implant can be positioned between the adjacent spinous processes and once positioned, the implant can be arranged in a second configuration. When arranged in a second configuration, the distraction guide can act as a second wing. The first wing and the second wing can limit or block movement of the implant along a longitudinal axis of the implant.

An actuator and integral position sensor has increased reliability with a fail-safe mode. An electric motor has a shaft. A sensor is mounted to the electric motor. The sensor has a housing and a rotor. The rotor has a bore and first and second recesses. The recesses have different depths. The shaft is engaged with the bore. A first magnet is mounted in the first recess and a second magnet is mounted in the second recess. A magnetic field sensor is mounted adjacent the rotor.

Systems and method in accordance with embodiments of the present invention can includes an implant having an initiating piece and a distraction piece. The initiating piece can include a lower distraction element, a lower portion of a second wing, a lower portion of a spacer, and a lower portion of a first wing. The initiating piece can be positioned such that an interspinous ligament of the targeted motion segment is disposed between the first and second wing. The distraction piece can include an upper distraction element, an upper portion of a second wing, an upper portion of the spacer, and an upper portion of the first wing, and can be mated with the initiating piece by mating a rail of the distraction piece with a slot of the initiating piece, or the implant is disposed between adjacent spinous processes.

Described herein are systems and methods for capturing an amount of effort expended in working on a document. One or more periods of time during which a document is an active document within an active window on a user interface may be determined. Further, one or more periods of time during which a window in which the document is displayed is a most forward window may be determined. For one or more determined periods of time, one or more temporal intervals may be determined during which it is inferred that effort was not being expended on the document. A total amount of time expended in working on the document may be determined based, at least in part, on the determined one or more periods and the determined one or more temporal intervals. An effort report may be generated including an indication corresponding to the determined total amount of time expended.

Described herein are systems and methods for enabling a user to select a region within a document, and to specify the creation of content to link to the selected region. The user also may be enabled to specify to access and/or modify already-existing associated content linked to the selected region. In response to the user specifying to create, access (e.g., read-only) or edit a region within the document, a separate window may be launched that enables the user to access, create and/or edit the associated content. This separate window may be a pane or panel within a user interface display of the application within which the document is being edited (i.e., an internal window), or may be a window external to the user interface display.

Systems and method in accordance with the embodiments of the present invention can include an implant for positioning within a cervical facet joint for distracting the cervical spine, thereby increasing the area of the canals and openings through which the spinal cord and nerves must pass, and decreasing pressure on the spinal cord and/or nerve roots. The implant can be inserted laterally or posteriorly.

Text is converted to speech based at least in part on the context of the text. A body of text may be parsed before being converted to speech. Each portion may be analyzed to determine whether it has one or more particular attributes, which may be indicative of context. The conversion of each text portion to speech may be controlled based on these attributes, for example, by setting one or more conversion parameter values for the text portion. The text portions and the associated conversion parameter values may be sent to a text-to-speech engine to perform the conversion to speech, and the generated speech may be stored as an audio file. Audio markers may be placed at one or more locations within the audio file, and these markers may be used to listen to, navigate and/or edit the audio file, for example, using a portable audio device.
摘要:
The present invention is directed to an implant that can be placed between two adjacent vertebral bodies using a lateral insertion method. The implant is characterized as having a first end plate and a second end plate which a crossbar spacer therebetween. The crossbar spacer preferably fits within a channel on the inner surfaces of the first end plate and the second end plate, whereby the crossbar spacer allows pivots, twisting and/or rotational movement of the spine. The first end plate and the second end plate include a keel extending therefrom, whereby the keel traverses longitudinally between a first lateral side and a second opposed lateral side and is substantially perpendicular to the sagittal plane of the patient's spine.
