Abstract: A device for use with a touch surface digitizer, the device comprising: a sensor configured to receive uplink signals emitted by a grid of antennas in the digitizer; and a controller configured to detect the uplink signals via the sensor; wherein the controller is further configured to determine a speed of the device based on a detected sequence of the uplink signals as received at the sensor from one or more junctions of the antenna grid relative to a predetermined spatial pattern of the uplink signals as emitted across the grid.

Abstract: Examples are disclosed that relate to applying haptic output to a touch-sensitive input device. One example provides a touch-sensitive input device comprising a body, a haptic feedback mechanism within the body, a sensor subsystem, a logic processor, and a memory. The memory stores instructions executable by the processor to receive from the sensor subsystem sensor data indicating locations along the body of a plurality of contact points between a user hand and the body, based at least in part on the sensor data, determine a touch profile of the user hand applied to the body, based at least in part on the touch profile of the user hand, determine a selected haptic output to be applied to the body, and cause a drive signal to be transmitted to the haptic feedback mechanism to apply the selected haptic output to the body.

Abstract: Examples are disclosed relating to providing haptic feedback in a stylus while the stylus crosses a gap between two displays. In one example, a method comprises detecting one or more haptic triggering criteria, and at least on condition of detecting the one or more haptic triggering criteria, actuating the haptic feedback component to produce haptic output. Using a width of the gap between the displays, a stylus velocity, and a stylus direction, a crossing time for the stylus tip to cross the gap is calculated. At a first time after actuating the haptic feedback component, the method determines that the stylus tip crosses an inside edge of one of the displays. At least on condition of determining that the tip of the stylus crosses an inside edge of a display, the method continues to actuate the haptic feedback component for the crossing time.

Abstract: An apparatus including a joint spacer for treatment of a joint of a human subject. The joint spacer includes a bioresorbable stent having compressed and expanded configurations and a covering that covers an external surface of the stent. The joint spacer is configured to be inserted into a space of the joint, and is shaped, when the bioresorbable stent is in the expanded configuration, to provide mechanical support to the joint until the bioresorbable stent resorbs into a body of the subject. Treating a joint of a human subject includes inserting a joint spacer into a space of the joint while a bioresorbable stent of the joint spacer is in a compressed configuration, and transitioning the bioresorbable stent to an expanded configuration within the joint, such that the joint spacer provides mechanical support to the joint until the bioresorbable stent resorbs into a body of the subject.

Abstract: A prosthesis including a subacromial spacer having a surface contoured to maintain an acromion in chosen distance to a humeral head upon rotation and fixation means to fixate the subacromial spacer to a humeral medullary cavity and/or an intramedullary fixator implanted or configured for implantation in the humeral medullary cavity. A surgical kit includes the prosthesis and a proximal humeral nail. The fixating means are connectable into a proximal opening of the proximal humeral nail. A method may include: creating a percutaneous passage from an outer-body space to a portion of a humeral head; removing bony tissue to facilitate direct communication between the outer-body space and a humeral medullary cavity enclosed in the humeral head; providing a prosthesis including a subacromial spacer having a surface; and/or fixating the subacromial spacer to the humeral medullary cavity and/or an intramedullary fixator implanted or configured for implantation in the humeral medullary cavity.

Abstract: An apparatus including a prosthetic glenoid component for use in shoulder arthroplasty for articulation with a humeral head. The prosthetic glenoid component includes a bearing body, which is shaped so as to define (a) a concave bearing surface for articulation with the humeral head, and (b) a convex glenoid-contacting surface; and one or more superior cantilevers, which (a) jut out from a periphery of the bearing body, (b) are more flexible than the bearing body, and (c) resist, without preventing, superior migration of the humeral head. In shoulder arthroplasty, providing a prosthetic glenoid component for articulation with a humeral head, and implanting the prosthetic glenoid component such that the convex glenoid-contacting surface contacts a glenoid cavity, and the one or more superior cantilevers resist, without preventing, superior migration of the humeral head.
