Abstract: An orthopaedic fixation assembly for prosthetic biologic attachment. The orthopaedic fixation assembly may include a main body with a longitudinally-extending stem having a proximal end, a distal end, and a cavity body. An anchor plug may be configured to be received within the stem cavity, and securable thereto via complementary mating surfaces. A spindle structure may be fixedly attached to the proximal end of the longitudinally-extending stem and protrude outwardly therefrom such that a portion of the structure extends externally beyond the resected cavity of the bone that may prevent rotational motion of the spindle. The spindle structure may have at least one compliant biasing member configured to apply a compressive force to the surrounding bone. A porous coating may be at the juncture between stem and spindle structure, on the spindle, and the splines and anti-rotation chocks, improving the initial stability of the implant and facilitating long-term bone ingrowth.

Abstract: A wireless communication system attests to user data from a wireless user device. The wireless user device receives satellite signals from satellites and determines satellite signal metrics for the satellite signals. The wireless user device determines its geographic location based on the satellite signals. The wireless user device executes an operating system in trusted processing circuitry in response to device power-up. The wireless user device executes a network application in the trusted processing circuitry. The network application transfers the user data, geographic location, and signal metrics to network elements. The network elements determine known satellite metrics for the geographic location. The network elements compare the satellite signal metrics to the known satellite metrics and generate an attestation score for the user data based on the satellite comparison. The network elements store the user data, the geographic location, and the attestation score.

Abstract: A traction tool is operable with fluid flow from coiled tubing for use in a wellbore. The traction tool includes a mandrel, a driver, at least one piston, and a motor. The driver is rotatably disposed on the mandrel and can be movable between retracted and extended conditions when the at least one piston is actuated. The driver in the extended condition is configured to engage inside the wellbore. The piston is adjacent to the driver and is actuated by the fluid flow from the mandrel. The motor is also actuated by the fluid flow from the mandrel. The motor imparts rotation to the piston and the drive, which can be supported by bearings on the tool's mandrel. Tracks on the driver arranged at an angle transverse to a longitudinal axis of the tool allow the rotating driver to spiral inside the wellbore and advance the traction tool.
