  • Patent number: 11058550
    Abstract: An allograft implant for fusing a sacroiliac joint (“SI Joint”), the allograft implant comprising a body having two opposing faces. Each face has one or more anti-migration features, and each face is configured for abutting contact with a sacrum or an ilium of the SI Joint. A graft window is disposed between the two opposing faces, the graft window providing passage through the body between the two opposing faces. The graft window has a cross-sectional area that is about 35% to about 40% of a first cross-sectional area of the body, and about 60% of an area of each opposing face that makes contact with the sacrum or the ilium of the SI Joint.

  • Patent number: 11058554
    Abstract: A fitting ring can be provided that is attachable to an edge of a liner for an acetabular shell. The fitting ring can include an alignment portion shaped or configured to engage a lip portion of the acetabular shell as the liner is inserted into the acetabular shell to center the liner and correct any pivoting of the liner relative to the acetabular shell. A driving force can be applied to the liner to drive the liner into the acetabular shell while the fitting ring guides the liner as the liner is inserted into the acetabular shell. Driving the liner into the acetabular shell can also cause the fitting ring to disengage from the liner.

  • Patent number: 11061514
    Abstract: A method provides a touchable user interface based on a surface. The surface supports direct human-machine interactions as conventional touch-sensitive platforms. According to implementations of the method, a mechanical actuator-sensor assembly is arranged at any type of object, and the assembly generates and senses the mechanical wave propagating in the object. In this way, a “touchable” surface can be created.

  • Patent number: 11061780
    Abstract: Applying machine-learning to optimize the operational efficiency of data backup systems is described. A machine-learning system creates a training set of multiple features for each of multiple historical data backup jobs. The machine-learning system trains a prediction model to predict, based on the training set, the probabilities that the corresponding historical data backup jobs failed during the next historical data backup window. The machine-learning system creates an operational set of multiple features for each of multiple scheduled data backup jobs. The trained prediction model predicts, based on the operational set, the probabilities that the corresponding scheduled data backup jobs will fail during the next scheduled data backup window. The predicted probability that a scheduled data backup job will fail during the next scheduled data backup window is output, thereby enabling an operator to remediate the scheduled data backup job prior to the next scheduled data backup window.
