Abstract: Bone anchor assemblies are disclosed herein that can provide for improved fixation as compared with traditional bone anchor assemblies. An exemplary assembly can include a bracket or wing that extends down from the receiver member and accommodates one or more auxiliary bone anchors that augment the fixation of the assembly's primary bone anchor. Another exemplary assembly can include a plate that is seated between the receiver member and the rod and accommodates one or more auxiliary bone anchors that augment the fixation of the assembly's primary bone anchor. Another exemplary assembly can include a hook that extends out from the receiver member to hook onto an anatomical structure or another implant to augment the fixation of the assembly's primary bone anchor. Surgical methods using the bone anchor assemblies described herein are also disclosed.

Abstract: Disclosed is an approach for displaying 3D videos in a VR and/or AR system. The 3D videos may include 3D animated objects that escape from the display screen. The 3D videos may interact with objects within the VR and/or AR environment. The 3D video may be interactive with a user such that based on user input corresponding to decisions elected by the user at certain portions of the 3D video such that a different storyline and possibly a different conclusion may result for the 3D video. The 3D video may be a 3D icon displayed within a portal of a final 3D render world.

Abstract: A transdermal composition comprising ibuprofen or salts thereof and a gelling agent which can be used for the treatment of such disorders as pain, inflammation, arthritis, muscle spasm and associated symptoms in humans and animals.

Abstract: This disclosure describes methods to separate solids from liquids in a production facility. A process separates components in the process stream by applying non-condensable media to create density differences and then using a mechanical device to separate the solids from the liquids based on the density difference. The process produces the liquids and solids, which may be further processed to create valuable animal feed products.

Abstract: A novel posterolateral inter-muscular approach has been developed to access the cervical. spine. The approach includes elevating the splenius capitis and trapezios muscles dorsally to create a window for deep spine access, wherein the window comprises: i) an anterior superior border of the trapezius muscle; ii) an anterior inferior border of the splenius capitis muscle, and iii) a posterior superior border of the levator scapulae muscle. Preferably, a device such as an implant or an instrument is then passed through the window to manipulate the spine.

Abstract: Annotating input data using graphs via a user interface is disclosed, including: receiving a selection of an imported ontological subgraph to import into an annotation of input data presenting at least a portion of the imported ontological subgraph in a user interface associated with editing the annotation of the input data; receiving, via the user interface, a user input to associate a selected portion associated with the input data with a previously defined node associated with the presented at least portion of the imported ontological subgraph; and updating the annotation of the input data based at least in part on the user input and the imported ontological subgraph.

Abstract: A reading assistant tool implemented in a browser application facilitates the presentation of text content in a manner and format that addresses the reading and/or comprehension capabilities of individual users, while maintaining the context of the original content. The reading assistant tool outputs a reader view pane alongside a main content pane. Original content is presented in the main content pane, and simplified/reformatted content corresponding to text content extracted from the original content, is presented in the reader view pane. Scrolling of the extracted text content in the reader view pane is synchronized with scrolling of the original content in the main content pane, so that context is maintained as the user moves through the content. The concurrent presentation of the original content and the extracted text content allows the user to more easily consume the extracted text content, while also maintaining context as originally intended.

Abstract: This disclosure describes methods to separate solids from liquids in a production facility. A process separates components in a defiber process stream by using two or more mechanical devices to separate the solids from the liquids based on density differences. The process produces animal feed products having a protein content ranging from approximately 45% to approximately 64%.

Abstract: A skateboard deck that is both stiff in one dimension and flexible in another dimension is disclosed. The deck includes an elongated body characterized by a longitudinal axis, a plurality of ribs, and a plurality of apertures. The plurality of ribs are long, narrow beams oriented substantially parallel to the longitudinal axis and integral with the bottom of the elongated body. The plurality of apertures are distributed in a plurality of rows also oriented substantially parallel to the longitudinal axis. The ribs and rows of apertures are interposed in an alternating pattern across the width of the deck. The resulting deck is stiff in the longitudinal direction yet flexible with respect to rotation about the longitudinal axis. The deck is therefore flexible enough to enable the front and rear trucks to rotate with respect to one another while still being rigid enough to withstand the weight of the rider.

Abstract: Ontological graph creation via a user interface is disclosed, including: receiving a selection to import an imported ontological subgraph into a current ontological graph; presenting at least a portion of the imported ontological subgraph in a user interface associated with editing the current ontological graph; receiving, via the user interface, a user input to associate a newly defined node associated with the current ontological graph with a previously defined node or edge associated with the presented at least portion of the imported ontological subgraph; and updating a graph database associated with the current ontological graph based at least in part on the user input and the imported ontological subgraph.

Abstract: This disclosure describes processes for using a single cellulosic feedstock or a combination of two or more different cellulosic feedstocks with a starch component to produce a fermented product. The process includes separating the components of the cellulosic feedstocks with fractionation, pretreating a component with wet fractionation with chemicals, hydrolysis and fermenta-tion of the pretreated feedstock(s) to produce cellulosic biofuel. The process may include combining the cellulosic feedstock(s) with other components to a cook and/or a fermentation process, distilling and dehydrating the combined components to produce the biofuel. The process may also include producing a whole stillage stream from the feedstock(s) and mechanically processing the whole stillage stream to produce a high-value protein animal feed.
