Abstract: A surgical tack applier comprising a handle assembly, an inner tube, a plurality of fasteners and a solution is disclosed. The handle assembly includes an actuator associated therewith. The inner tube extends distally from the handle assembly and defines a longitudinal axis. The inner tube is rotatable about the longitudinal axis. The plurality of fasteners are disposed at least partially within the inner tube and are selectively ejectable therefrom. The solution is disposed within the inner tube and is dispensable through a distal opening of the inner tube.

Abstract: A method and system for providing IP Multimedia Subsystem (IMS) session continuity to a User Equipment (UE) across a plurality of communication networks is provided. The UE traverses from a first communication network to a second communication network. A public user identity associated with a private user identity of the UE is registered with the first communication network by using a first address. The method includes generating (404) identity associated with a public user a complimentary private user identity associated with the public user identity. The method also includes obtaining (406) a second address from the second communication network when the UE traverses from the first communication network to the second communication network. Moreover, the method includes registering (408) the public user identity associated with the complimentary private user identity with the first communication network by using the second address.

Abstract: Colored high-strength fibers of ultra-high-molecular-weight polyolefins and methods of dyeing the high-strength fibers are disclosed herein.

Abstract: Compositions are provided which include a polymer made at least in part from a polyoxyalkylene copolymer, such as a poloxamer. The polymer may be combined with a second component to form a blend or emulsion. The resulting composition may be utilized to form medical devices, drug delivery devices, or coatings for other medical devices.
