Abstract: Devices, methods and graphical user interfaces for manipulating user interfaces based on fingerprint sensor inputs are provided. An electronic device with a display and a fingerprint sensor may obtain fingerprint-verification criteria for controlling verification of fingerprints. For each of a plurality of respective inputs that correspond to respective restricted operations, the device may identify fingerprint features of the respective input. The device may determine fingerprint-verification information for the respective input. In response to detecting the respective input and in accordance with a determination that the fingerprint-verification information meets respective authorization criteria for the respective restricted operation, the device may perform the respective restricted operation.

Abstract: A total joint instrument set according to an exemplary aspect of the present disclosure includes, among other things, a guide assembly that orients a cut in a first bone and a linkage guide that orients a cut in a second bone. A positioning of the linkage guide is mechanically linked to at least a portion of the guide assembly.

Abstract: There is disclosed a method for fabricating an undersea communications cable core containing optical fibers. The method includes heating a central strength member and extruding a first layer of thermoplastic elastomer onto the heated central strength member. Paying out the optical fibers from a plurality of bobbins. Helically laying the optical fibers onto the first layer of thermoplastic elastomer with a planetary motion. The optical fibers passing entirely enclosed through a separate part of a whipping prevention enclosure from the bobbins to a rotating closing die. Passing the central strength member, coated with the first layer of thermoplastic elastomer and helically wrapped with the optical fibers, through the closing die, which rotates with the rotation of the helix, applying to the optical fibers forces directed radially into the core but without applying to the optical fibers forces directed tangentially to the surface of the first layer of thermoplastic material.
