Abstract: This invention is directed to orthopedic implants and systems. The invention also relates to methods of implant design, manufacture, modeling and implantation as well as to surgical tools and kits used therewith. The implants are designed by analyzing the articular surface to be corrected and creating a device with an anatomic or near anatomic fit; or selecting a pre-designed implant having characteristics that give the implant the best fit to the existing defect.

Abstract: Disclosed herein are methods, compositions and tools for repairing articular surfaces repair materials and for repairing an articular surface. The articular surface repairs are customizable or highly selectable by patient and geared toward providing optimal fit and function. The surgical tools are designed to be customizable or highly selectable by patient to increase the speed, accuracy and simplicity of performing total or partial arthroplasty.

Abstract: This invention relates to an external defibrillator whose language of operation can be easily changed when the defibrillator is deployed for use. Defibrillators include, manual defibrillators, automatic or semi-automatic external defibrillators (“AEDs”) and defibrillator trainers. In one embodiment, the invention provides a way to change the language in which the defibrillator delivers instructions to a user. Defibrillators of this invention would contain multiple languages in their memory. During the set-up of the defibrillator some or all of the languages could be designated as a language in which a prompt will be offered. Additionally, during set-up, one language will be designated as the default language. Once the defibrillator is deployed for use in an emergency, the operator will indicate a language preference for the defibrillator operating instructions.

Abstract: A docketing system for recording, tracking, and reporting deadlines associated with legal cases. The docketing system is useful for intellectual property practitioners, such as patent attorneys, who have to keep track of several deadlines related to intellectual property cases. According to an embodiment of the present invention, the docketing system keeps track of deadlines related to one or more cases handled by one or more practitioners. In response to events related to the cases which result in one or more deadlines, the present invention automatically generates messages notifying users of deadlines associated with the events. The docketing messages are then automatically communicated to appropriate recipients.

Abstract: A computer implemented method of generating invention disclosure statements. The method of the present invention reduces the likelihood that a known prior art reference document will erroneously go undisclosed to a patent office by an individual associated with the filing and prosecution of a patent applications. Additionally, the method of the present invention simplifies and streamlines the tasks that must be carried out in order to comply with the various disclosure requirements of patent offices around the world. In one embodiment, the computer-implemented method of the present invention includes receiving a signal indicating that a user has identified an electronic document that contains reference information to be disclosed to a patent office, the reference information including information necessary for completing an invention disclosure statement (“IDS information”).

Abstract: In one embodiment, a computer implemented method of managing invention disclosure statements comprises storing a plurality of first electronic documents on the server system, the plurality of first electronic documents containing reference information to be disclosed to a patent office. A second electronic document containing citation information may be received on the server system from a patent office. The citation information in the second electronic document is displayed to a user in a first display section, and a plurality of identifiers and one or more input select elements are displayed in a second display section. The user may enter information into the server system using the input select elements, and the information corresponds to the relation between the displayed citation information and the displayed plurality of identifiers.

Abstract: A computer implemented method of managing invention disclosure statements is described. In one embodiment, the computer-implemented method of the present invention includes storing a plurality of electronic documents in a database, associating a first one or more of the plurality of electronic documents to a first case, associating a second one or more of the plurality of electronic documents to a second case, receiving a select signal from a user, the select signal selecting at least one of the second one or more of the plurality of electronic documents associated with the second case to be associated with the first case, and associating the at least one of the second one or more of the plurality of electronic documents to the first case in response to the select signal. In one embodiment, the first case and second case are related cases.

Abstract: A system and method for facilitating the patent preparation and filing process. The system and method of the present invention may integrate additional functionality such as automated docketing to further facilitate procurement of intellectual property.

Abstract: A method and apparatus for transferring patient data recorded by a defibrillator during treatment of a patient. In particular, a recordable memory chip within a medical electrode connector. Further includes a clock associated with the memory also contained within the medical electrode connector. Electrotherapy devices include defibrillators, cardioverters and training devices that simulate the operation of an electrotherapy device. Defibrillators include automatic or semi-automatic external defibrillators (AEDs).

Abstract: This invention relates generally to defibrillators and, in particular, to a defibrillator with a built in CPR (“CPR”) prompt system. The invention also relates generally to a defibrillator with a built-in Advanced Cardiac Life Support (“ACLS”) prompt system. Defibrillators include manual defibrillator, automatic or semiautomatic external defibrillators (“AEDs”) and defibrillator trainers. More specifically, this invention is directed to a defibrillator system capable of generating audible prompts and/or visual prompts through an audible prompt generator and a visual prompt generator, wherein the defibrillator instructs a rescuer on performing CPR or ACLS. The instructions are controlled through a prompt generator and may be audible prompts or visual images, or a combination of the two. The prompts may be emitted at a predetermined rate and may be synchronized. This invention is also directed to a method for administering care comprising, providing instructions to a rescuer.
