  • Patent number: 10441322
    Abstract: Anterior spinal implant devices for reducing spinal malalignment and associated systems and methods are disclosed herein. A spinal implant system configured in accordance with embodiments of the present technology can include, for example, a first vertebral support implanted at an anterior region of a first vertebra of a patient, a second vertebral support implanted at an anterior region of a second vertebra inferior to the first vertebra, and an alignment system configured to be releasably coupled to the first and second vertebral supports. The first and second vertebral supports can extend into and interlock with each other within an interbody space between the first and second vertebrae when the first and second vertebral supports are aligned. The alignment system is configured to reduce angular, vertical, and linear malalignment of the first and second vertebrae relative to each other.

  • Publication number: 20090055090
    Abstract: The methods and systems provide computer-generated software downloadable into cellular phone devices or other devices. The software programs the cellular device to mark and then locate a location based on its longitudinal and latitudinal position and elevation. The software utilizes all of the cellular device's capabilities to precisely identify locations using, but not limited to, GPS global positioning systems and Wi-Fi wireless fidelity data and information. The software informs the user of the marked location by displaying the position and pointing the user back to the marked location, in three dimensions, as needed, for example, to find the user's vehicle parked in a parking garage.
