Abstract: An adjustable spinal implant device, comprising: a sliding portion provided with a tongue; and, a non-sliding portion provided with a slot adapted for receipt of the tongue; wherein the tongue is slidably and rotatably positioned within the slot. Methods of use include adjusting a spinal implant to an implant site by at least one of sliding and rotating at least a first portion with respect to a second portion of the implant; and, securing the spinal implant to the implant site.

Abstract: A locking spring screw, comprising a screw body having a flexible spring member positionable within a screw head. The screw head comprises a tool slot adapted for receipt of a spring member and includes at least one outlet adjacent to the tool slot adapted for passage therethrough of a tongue of the spring member. A slotted aperture located opposite the outlet from the screw head is positioned at least partially around the circumference of the screw head for engaging the tongue and securing the screw body to an implant when the spring member is in an unbiased condition.

Abstract: Disclosed is a locking spring screw formed from a cylindrical screw body having a screw head that includes a tool slot adapted for receipt of a flexible spring member. The tool slot includes at least one outlet formed adjacent to the tool slot which is adapted for passage therethrough of a tongue extending outwardly from the spring member. A ridge is located opposite the outlet from the cylindrical screw body and formed at least partially around the circumference of the screw head wherein the spring member is retracted during installation and, upon the ridge engaging a flange, the spring member is released preventing screw head removal by entrapping the flange between the ridge and the tongue of the spring member.

Abstract: A retractable cable system with multiple cable capability allows electrical conducting cables to be individually extended from and retracted into a cable housing. The retractable cable system includes a housing and multiple cable retractors secured within the housing. The cable retractors contain function-specific electrical cables that have fixed ends and extendible ends. The fixed ends are secured to their corresponding cable retractors with a fixed length of cable extending from the cable retractors. The extendible ends have lengths of cable that can be extended from their corresponding cable retractors to a target device. In the preferred embodiment, the retractable cable system has a housing that is compatible with a standard 19" rack system, individually removable cable-reels, and a mix of cable types and connector types.

Abstract: A system and method for generating estimates and orders for the manufacture of custom items such as business forms is provided which stores estimate data at a central location, e.g., a corporate office, for access by sales representatives at remote sales sites. A sales representative creates an item specification for a form to be manufactured and electronically transmits it to the corporate office for estimate data. Data relating to the cost and list price to produce the form based on the item specification is transmitted to the sales representative. The sales representative determines a sell price from the pricing data, and generates a production order using the item specification and the estimate data, among other data. The production order is transmitted to a manufacturing plant for job execution.
