Abstract: Implant removal systems and methods for using the system for removing an implant from a bone are disclosed herein. In an embodiment, a method for removing an intramedullary implant from a bone includes navigating a guidewire into an intramedullary cavity of the bone; inserting the guidewire into a lumen of an intramedullary implant located in the intramedullary cavity of the bone; advancing a removal screw over the guidewire to the intramedullary implant; threading the removal screw into the lumen of the intramedullary implant to engage the removal screw to the intramedullary implant; and applying impaction force on the removal screw to remove the intramedullary implant from the intramedullary cavity.

Abstract: A reusable foldable box is disclosed that has a first flat configuration and a second three dimensional configuration. The box consists of a first set and a set of panels that are assembled to form the foldable box. The first set of panels includes at least six panels that are foldably coupled in a predefined sequence. The first set includes a top panel, bottom panel, a pair of side panels, a lip panel and a securing panel. The first set of panels forms a single piece construction to which the side panels of the second set of panels are coupled with triangular inward connectors.

Abstract: A system for managing circuit emulation service over an Asynchronous Transfer Mode (ATM) network is provided. The system includes control logic configured to receive channelized circuit data from a client, the channelized circuit data being transmitted at an arbitrary rate. The channelized circuit data is formatted into one or more ATM cells. Each ATM cell has a payload. The payload has a number of octets and corresponding validity fields. Each validity field is used to indicate whether the associated octet contains valid data. The one or more ATM cells are transmitted across the ATM network. By examining the validity fields, the transmission of the one or more ATM cells effectively results in transmission of the channelized circuit data at the arbitrary rate over the ATM network. The arbitrary rate is not a multiple of a fundamental rate.

Abstract: Techniques for adapting data rates from a first to a second system in a telecommunication system are provided. The techniques on used on data communications in the ingress or egress direction. The first system transfers data at a first data rate that is faster than a data rate of a second system. The techniques are used to adapt data received at the first data rate for sending to the second system at the second data rate.

Abstract: A method for converting data for a interface module and a network data plane is provided. The data is converted using an interface in a telecommunications system. The method includes receiving data in a plurality of data formats through the interface module. The plurality of data formats include a variable format of a variable-length and a fixed format of a fixed-length. The data in the plurality of data formats is then converted into a predetermined network data plane format and sent in the network data plane format to the network data plane. The method further includes receiving data in the predetermined network data plane format from the network data plane. Then, a format in the plurality of data formats to convert the data received from the network data plane to is determined and the data in the network data plane data format is converted to the determined data format. The data in the determined data format is sent to the interface module.

Abstract: A surgical tool for use in expanding a tubular structure includes a housing. First and second legs movable relative to the housing have first and second ends engageable with an inner surface of the tubular structure. A handle movable relative to the housing moves the first and second ends away from each other to apply a radially outwardly directed force to the inner surface of the tubular structure and cause expansion of the tubular structure. A stop member is connected with the housing. The handle is engageable with the stop member to limit movement of the first and second ends away from each other. The stop member has a first position relative to the housing to limit movement of the first and second ends away from each other a first predetermined distance. The stop member has a second position relative to the housing to limit movement of the first and second ends away from each other a second predetermined distance smaller than the first predetermined distance.

Abstract: A circuit arrangement is provided for connecting a personal computer (PC) to a port of a key telephone system via an adapter circuit which also interfaces a digital key set to the port. The adapter circuit is connected to the computer via an RS-232 single channel data link. The PC is programmed to generate and receive a serial data stream into which are encapsulated messages relating to link control and telephone functionality. The adapter circuit is also programmed to receive and generate the serial data stream. The data rate through the adapter circuit and the telephone system and hence to a remote computer is dependent on the utilization of the attached key set by the user to make a call.
