Abstract: Improved fixation or stabilization of implants is achieved via one or more deployable spikes or anchors. The deployable spikes or anchors may be present in the implant in a nested, collapsed, or retracted position while the implant is inserted into the human body, and may then be deployed (e.g., into adjacent bone) after the implant is in place, thereby fixing the implant's location against unwanted movement. Such fixation or stabilization of the implant may reduce patients' pain, may improve overall short-term and long-term stability of the implant, and may improve osteo-integration into the implant.

Abstract: Edit automation functionality generalizes edits performed by a user in a document, locates similar text, and recommends or applies transforms while staying within a current workflow. Source code edits such as refactoring are automated. The functionality uses or provides anchor target lists, temporal edit patterns, edit graphs, automatable edit sequence libraries, and other data structures and computational techniques for identifying locations appropriate for particular edits, for getting transforms, for selecting optimal transforms, for leveraging transforms in an editing session or later, and for displaying transform recommendations and results. The edit automation functionality enhances automation subtool generation, discoverability, and flexibility, for refactoring, snippet insertion, quick actions in an integrated development environment, and other automatable edit sequences.

Abstract: A decorative container device is disclosed that provides a multipurpose, weatherproof storage container for safely securing mementos at a gravesite.

Abstract: Distinguishing pattern differences from non-pattern differences. A set of differences is identified. The set comprises a plurality of differences between first and second versions of a document. A pattern is identified. The pattern explains a transformation from a first string in the first version of the document to a second string in the second version of the document. A subset of differences are identified. The subset comprises a plurality of differences, from among the set, which match the pattern. While presenting a user interface that visually highlights differences between the first and second versions of the document, a first visual treatment is applied to a first difference, based on the first difference being included in the subset. A second visual treatment is also applied to a second difference, based on the second difference being excluded from the subset. The second visual treatment is different than the first visual treatment.

Abstract: Thermocouples for high temperature applications are provided. A thermocouple includes a vessel formed from a dielectric material, the vessel defining a first chamber and a second chamber, the first chamber and second chamber in fluid communication. The thermocouple further includes a first thermoelement disposed in the first chamber, the first thermoelement formed from a first thermoelectric material. The thermocouple further includes a second thermoelement disposed in the second chamber, the second thermoelement formed from a second thermoelectric material different from the first thermoelectric material, and wherein the second thermoelement is a liquid at operating conditions of the thermocouple.

Abstract: A writing instrument has a nib that can retract automatically upon release of a grip on the writing instrument. The writing instrument has one or more leaves that can be flexed to push the cartridge towards the front end of the writing instrument to expose the nib. A spring applies a force on the cartridge to automatically retract the nib when a grip on the writing instrument is released.

Abstract: An apparatus for detecting radiation deflected from a rotating component includes a probe body on a stationary component radially outward of the rotating component; and a pair of arrival time sensors coupled to the probe body. Each arrival time sensor includes a light pipe that receives radiation deflected from the rotating component and that reduces directional variation of the radiation. A detector is optically coupled to each respective light pipe. The detector is positioned to receive the radiation with reduced directional variation from the light pipe. A method of detecting radiation from the rotating component using the apparatus determines a clearance between the rotating component (e.g., a turbomachine blade) and a stationary component (e.g., a casing).

Abstract: During software development, embodiments find various kinds of weak spots in source code and automatically suggest fixes to strengthen the code, without requiring developers to expressly select weakness finder mechanisms or fixer mechanisms by navigating a development tool's menu system. Weakness finders may analyze code using items such as hole detection, diagnostic errors, test results, changed code matches, prospective code discrepancies, generated code confidence scores, generated suggestion competition, and artificial intelligence. Weak spots and their context are submitted to weak spot fixers, which may generate fix suggestions using functionalities such as code synthesis, refactoring, autocompletion, retesting, and artificial intelligence. Fix candidate sets may be evaluated for consistency, diagnostic errors, and discrepancies. Snippets may be dynamically filled for presentation to a user.
