Publication number: 20200030111Abstract: The present invention provides an intervertebral implant for implantation in a treated area of an intervertebral space between vertebral bodies of a spine. The implant includes a spacer portion having an inferior and superior surface, wherein the inferior and superior surfaces each have a contact area capable of engaging with anatomy in the treated area, and the inferior and superior surfaces define a through-hole extending through the spacer body. The present invention further provides holes extending from a side portion to the inferior and superior surfaces of the spacer portion and a plate portion rigidly coupled to the spacer portion, wherein the plate portion contains holes for receiving screws. A fastener back out prevention mechanism adapted on the plate to prevent the back out of the fasteners from the holes and to secure the spacer to the plate of the intervertebral implant.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 18, 2019Publication date: January 30, 2020Inventors: Jody L.

Publication number: 20170060887Abstract: Disclosed are various examples for downloading data objects by enforcing a threshold amount of allocated data. A file sync application determines which data objects to download to the client device such that the total amount of downloaded data meets or falls below the threshold amount of allocated data. File system entries for undownloaded data objects are also downloaded and stored in a file system of the client device. If a process attempts to access an undownloaded data object, the file sync application downloads the data object and evicts another data object, if necessary, according to the threshold amount of allocated data.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 24, 2016Publication date: March 2, 2017Inventors: Gerard Murphy, Daniel James Beveridge, Blake Ryan Watts, Nicholas Petros Grivas
