Abstract: The invention relates to a cutting broaching tool (1) for intraoperatively obtaining bone material from a patient, comprising a main part (3) which rotates about a rotational axis (2) for securing on a rotating tool support and comprising at least one blade (4) which is rigidly connected to the main part (3). The aim of the invention is to prevent the tissue from reacting when using the broaching tool and thus prevent an increased risk of infection, to prevent a thermal load on the bone, to receive the bone material in the interior of the broaching tool, and to discharge the bone material to an external device. This is achieved in that the main part (3) has a cylindrical shape, is hollow, and surrounds a first cavity (5). The blade (4) or all the blades (4) are formed integrally with the main part (3), extend in the direction of the rotational axis (2) of the main part (3) at a distance from an end face (6) of the main part (3), and surround a second cavity (7).

Abstract: Techniques for facilitating communication between a first group communication system and a second group communication system. A naming convention of the first group communication system allows at least one name which contravenes a naming convention of the second group communication system. A communicator is joined to the second group communication system. The communicator was previously joined to the first group communication system and has a first name at the first group communication system. The communicator has a second name at the second group communication system. The second name can be requested from the second group communication system. The second name can also be generated by applying an algorithm to the first name. A processor performs translation between the first name and the second name in a communication between the communicator and the second group communication system. The translation is performed based on a translation data structure.

Abstract: A method for eligibility list management in a distributed group membership system, including receiving an eligibility list change request with respect to an eligibility list of a group of computing elements, removing from a view of the group any active members in the group who are to be removed from the eligibility list as indicated by the eligibility list change request, preventing any of the members that are removed from the view from rejoining a view until the eligibility list change is applied to the eligibility list, applying the eligibility list change to the eligibility list, and establishing a new view for any active members in the group who are on the changed eligibility list.

Abstract: A method for visualizing data includes receiving code representing content for display on the screen of a computer, the content including at least one hyperlink to other content and at least one attribute associated with the hyperlink. User preferences are set for each attribute. The content is displayed on the screen, and at least one of the hyperlinks is hidden in response to the combination of user preference for that attribute.

Abstract: An apparatus, program product and method generate difference data representative of modifications made to one release of a standard code base to facilitate the adaptation of later releases of the standard code base. The difference data is generated at least in part in connection with canonical parsing of a modified version of a release of a standard code base such that the difference data is representative of semantic changes made in the modified version.
