Abstract: A joint implant adapted for use in joint surgeries. Among other things, the joint implant has an anterior cutting edge and a rotatable cutter supported by a rotatable shaft. A polyaxial adapter can be incorporated into the current joint implant. The present implant can include a rotatable shaft that has a conduit and windows.

Abstract: The present invention is a fastener (30). The current fastener (30) is particularly useful in surgical procedures. Among other things, the surgical fastener (30) is provided with a conduit (50, 210) to dispense or carry biocompatible substances.

Abstract: A surgical fastener provided with a curved cutter, an anterior wedge-like tip and a surgeon facing end. Among other things, the surgical fastener's cutter can cut bone or other tissue.

Abstract: A system used for connecting a first implant and a second spinal implant. Among other things, the system includes a connector with a flexible member that allows the connector to be positioned a plurality of angles relative to the first implant.

Abstract: A joint arthrodesis system adapted for use in joint surgeries. Among other things, the joint implant has an anterior cutting edge and a rotatable cutter supported by a rotatable shaft.

Abstract: A Real-time Allocation Flight Management System and method, which defines specific roles functions for crew during the implementation of the flight plan. The flight control system requires crew input during pre-programmed way points during the flight. When fully functional, the system can control all aspects of a flight, including attitude and power control as well as all ancillary systems necessary for flight from takeoff to touchdown. In the event that the crew is incapacitated, the system can select the most probable approach procedure in use based on whatever information is available such as current and forecast destination weather, prevailing winds, and approach possibilities, such as available runways. Adjustment of the flight plan trajectory, allows the system to follow the adjusted trajectory. Included is a simulator software program, a free-standing flight simulator and methods of incorporating training protocols for flight crews.

Abstract: A contract authority for use by an automated system of record and an automated negotiations engine for iterative, multivariate negotiations which stores each set of terms proposed at each iteration to form the basis of the system of record. The contract authority of the invention assigns a unique identifier to each negotiated transaction and enables the participants to use that number to track all activities against the transaction for analysis and reporting purposes.

Abstract: An automated negotiations engine for iterative, multivariate negotiations of developments of products and programs which stores each set of terms proposed at each iteration to form the basis of the system of record. Active templates created using the present invention can be used to inform other systems automatically of agreed upon terms so that products or computer programs can be generated by them.

Abstract: An process mining system for analyzing the processes used to implement negotiated contracts and other agreements stored in an automated system of record. Using unique identifiers assigned by the contract authority of the invention, process mining can be done to evaluate the effectiveness of processes used to implement one or more sets of negotiations.
