Abstract: Methods to dynamically configure, monitor and govern PCH Chipsets in platforms as extended IO-expander(s) and associated apparatus. A multi-role PCH is provided that may be dynamically configured as a legacy PCH to facilitate booting for platforms without bootable CPUs and as IO-expanders in single-socket and multi-socket platforms. A control entity is coupled to the PCHs and is used to effect boot, reset, wake, and power management operations by exchanging handshake singles with the PCHs and providing control inputs to CPUs on the platforms. The single-socket platform configurations include a platform with a CPU with bootable logic coupled to an IO-expander and a platform with a legacy CPU coupled to a legacy PCH.

Abstract: A metering delivery apparatus for injecting bone graft cement includes a body portion, a material containment vessel, an actuator, and a control unit. The body portion includes a drive housing that supports an actuator drivetrain and receiver end that supports the material containment vessel. The actuator has a first end connected to the actuator drivetrain and a second end that supports a moveable portion of the vessel to dispense material in the vessel and a retracting movement that relieves pressure applied to the material. The control unit receives actuator parameter inputs and includes a sensor to detect a signal of at least one of a pressure level and a time period. The sensor provides the detected signal to the control unit such that the control unit operates the actuator between the dispensing and retracting movements based on the detected signal and the actuator parameter inputs.
