Abstract: A driving instrument for adjusting a spinal implant includes an outer shaft having a distal end configured to actuate a proximal adjustment assembly of a spinal implant, and an inner shaft having a distal end configured to actuate a distal adjustment assembly of the spinal implant. The inner shaft is disposed within the outer shaft, with a proximal end of the inner shaft extending proximally from the outer shaft. The proximal end is configured to be rotated such that rotation of the inner shaft results in simultaneous rotation of the inner and outer shafts, with rotation of the outer shaft ceasing at a first value of resistance associated with the proximal adjustment assembly and rotation of the inner shaft ceasing at a second value of resistance associated with the distal adjustment assembly such that cessation of rotation of the inner shaft is independent from cessation of rotation of the outer shaft.

Abstract: Applications that are configured to use storage resources of a storage system are associated with application specific storage policies. The storage policies define the size of devices to be created on the storage system for use by the application and storage usage percentage thresholds for determining when storage expansion events should occur. The storage policies also specify storage expansion parameters which are used, when a storage expansion event occurs, to specify the manner in which the storage expansion events should be implemented on the storage system. Example storage expansion parameters include expansion trigger parameters, the type of storage expansion, and the value by which the storage expansion should be implemented. A compliance engine is instantiated on the storage system, which compares application storage usage with application storage policies, and executes automatic expansion events to prevent applications from running out of storage resources on the storage system.

Abstract: A portable diagnostic device has a lysate stage with a port for receiving a sample and containing magnetic beads with a probe, and an outlet port. A series of assay stages are linked with the lysate vessel, each with a reservoir linked by channels. The final stage has a sensor for detecting beads attached to analyte molecules which have been conveyed according to attachment to probes on beads. Larger transport beads cause reporter beads which are tethered by target NA and probes to be transported to the final sensor stage, where they are released and detected when the transport beads have been removed.
