  • Patent number: 12220319
    Abstract: An implant for shoulder arthroplasty includes a stem and optionally a head component or a cup component. The stem is sized and shaped to fit into an intramedullary canal of the humerus. The proximal portion of the stem has a concave taper and the distal portion of the stem has a taper. The distal taper includes an anterior-posterior taper and a medial-lateral taper. The shape of the stem loads the metaphysis of the humerus with a greater load than the load applied to the diaphysis of the humerus.

  • Patent number: 12106126
    Abstract: A computer system generates and transmits one or more first presentation instructions which when rendered cause displaying one or more machine-generated messages of a conversational assistant in a first window of a graphical user interface (GUI) and cause displaying at least one other GUI element in the GUI. The computer system receives an input via the first window and processes one or more comments represented in the input to determine a task responsive to the one or more comments. Based on the task, the computer system generates and transmits one or more second presentation instructions which when rendered cause updating one or more of the first window and the other GUI element. The computer system repeats the generating, transmitting, receiving, processing, and updating steps to control the first window and the other GUI element based on a programmed workflow.

  • Patent number: 11435213
    Abstract: In some embodiments, a system for dispensing liquid from a container holding a liquid comprises a reservoir mountable to the container so as to be in fluidic communication with the container. The reservoir may comprise an inlet and an outlet. When mounted to the container, the reservoir may be configured to measure a predetermined quantity of liquid while in first orientation and to simultaneously dispense the predetermined quantity of liquid from the outlet and receive a refilling quantity of liquid through the inlet while in a second orientation that is angled relative to the first orientation above a threshold angle.

  • Patent number: 8787819
    Abstract: The present invention helps generate connected communities of students and educators through access to an increased pool of granular learning resources that benefit from standardization of formats for creating and utilizing individual discussions on individual topics. The present invention also circumvents the complexity of existing repository systems by creating a standard platform format. Because this format is de facto implemented for any educator using the platform, standardized question types (e.g., discussion types or topic types) become functionally interchangeable notwithstanding any particular individuals utilizing the invention. The interchangeability of individual topics allows for creation of a global “topic library,” which may be made available to any educator using the system.

  • Patent number: 4397395
    Abstract: A dental burr holder comprising a holder body adapted to rest on a support and having a smooth, upper surface interrupted by a plurality of upwardly opening burr receiving apertures, and a member projecting generally upwardly from the holder body and having a smooth front surface which faces across the upper surface of the holder body. These two surfaces form a background which color contrasts with the burrs and against which the burrs are viewed. The background is continuously color contrasting and is substantially visually uninterrupted except for the burr receiving apertures. This structure allows quick and accurate selection of the desired burr silhouetted against the contrasting background, and also makes the problem of detecting damaged or imperfect burrs easier. With dark colored burrs, a white background is preferred.
