  • Patent number: 10743891
    Abstract: A discectomy instrument for use with a cutting tool including a flexible shaft and an implement extending from the shaft generally includes a guard including a shaft and a foot extending therefrom, wherein the foot has a port and a plurality of teeth. The instrument also includes a guide including a rod, a finger extending from the rod, and an actuator operably connected to the finger such that the finger is adjustable via the actuator. The instrument further includes a sheath including at least one channel, wherein, when the guide and the sheath are coupled to the guard, the channel aligns with the port to permit insertion of the implement through the port via the channel.

  • Publication number: 20010032132
    Abstract: A message delivery system (10) for delivering messages (20) embedded in content (22) which is made accessible to an audience (12) on an interactive communications network. A message provider (14) provides the messages (20) and once they are embedded into the content (22) a content provider (16) makes them available on the network. The message provider (14) and the content provider (16) may be distinct entities or the same. The content (22) may be audible or visual, particularly including text, or may be combinations of such. In turn, the messages (20) may take any of these forms. The audience (12) is motivated to seek out, obtain, and use the content (20), and thereby concurrently perceive the messages (20), because the content (20) has an intrinsic or extrinsic desirability to the audience (12). In particular, the messages (20) may be for advertising or educational purposes.
