Abstract: A method for simultaneously drilling at least two peripheral peg holes in a bony surface comprising providing a peripheral peg drill component including a housing with a first side, a second side opposite the first side and at least two drill bits extending from the second side of the housing; advancing the peripheral peg drill component over an alignment pin extending from a bony surface until each of the at least two drill bits engage the bony surface; actuating a belt circumferentially surrounding a series of pulleys to cause the at least two drill bits to rotate; and simultaneously penetrating the bony surface with the at least two drill bits as they rotate.

Abstract: A peripheral peg drill component comprising a housing having a first side and a second side opposite the first side, at least two drill bits extending from the second side of the housing, and a driving mechanism located within the housing, the driving mechanism including a series of pulleys and a belt that together are configured to rotate the at least two drill bits and cause them to simultaneously penetrate a bony surface.

Abstract: A peripheral peg drill component comprising a housing having a first side and a second side opposite the first side, at least two drill bits extending from the second side of the housing, a defined opening on the second side of the housing, the defined opening being configured to receive an alignment pin extending from a bony surface, and a driving mechanism within the housing, the driving mechanism being configured to rotate the at least two drill bits and cause them to simultaneously penetrate the bony surface.

Abstract: Method, apparatus, and computer readable medium for producing an optimized matrix triangulation algorithm is described. In one example, tile functions are generated for a matrix triangulation problem. Cost data is measured for the tile functions with respect to a target architecture. The cost data is processed to identify optimal composition of tiles for rows in an iteration space of the matrix triangulation problem. The optimal compositions of tiles are processed to identify optimal composition of rows for triangles in the iteration space. A sequence of tile function invocation based on the optimal compositions of tiles and the optimal compositions of rows is generated.

Abstract: The present disclosure provides methods and compositions for treating coronary tissue damaged as a result of a cardiac disorder such as ischemia, acute myocardial infarction, vulnerable plaques, or reperfusion injury. Specifically, the cardiac disorder is treated using a multivalent molecule that is specific for a marker located, in or near the damaged coronary tissue and a marker located on a target cell (e.g., a stem cell). The multivalent molecule may be administered by intravenous injection, intra-arterial catheter, intramyocardial injection, or implantable device (e.g, stent).

Abstract: Modifying the surface of an edible with a high polarity water-based glaze or Polishing gum improves the printing of images on the edibles with low viscosity inks typically used in ink-jet printing. The methods described herein are suited to printing high resolution ink-jet images on edible substrate, such as a hard panned sugar shell confectionery.

Abstract: Microelectronic network devices and components are fabricated by binding or complexing at least one electronically functional substance to a molecular fiber, such as a nucleic acid fiber. The devices and components can be combined by interconnecting the complexed fibers to provide microelectronic circuits or networks. Assembly processes involve interactions of various combinations of the fibers and substances used in fabrication.

Abstract: A microelectronic network is fabricated on a fibrous skeleton by binding or complexing electronically functional substances to the nucleic acid skeleton. The skeleton comprises fibers with nucleotide chains. The assembly of the fibers into a network is based on interactions of nucleotide chain portions of different fibers.

Abstract: Method and apparatus for constructing and grading objective examinations wherein the answers are recorded on answer sheets by darkening pre-selected spaces corresponding to the selected answer. A template is placed on the answer sheet, the template having pre-punched holes which yield a plurality of answer patterns depending on the template orientation. Indicia are provided for indicating the appropriate answer pattern yielded by the template in each given orientation. To construct an examination, question sheets are provided having spaces for questions and spaces for a plurality of possible answers with a disappearable or removable indicium juxtaposed adjacent the position for the correct answer. The pattern of the removable indicium on each particular question sheet blank corresponds to the pattern of holes of the template in one of its pre-determined orientations.
