  • Publication number: 20260111584
    Abstract: A platform distributes data between multiple tenants by assigning each tenant a data storage environment that is unique to that tenant. A source tenant stores a data set in the source tenant's data storage environment. A destination tenant stores access control rights for its users in the destination tenant's data storage environment. When a user requests content from the source data set, the platform determines whether the requested content corresponds to the user's access control rights, and also whether the source tenant has authorized the destination tenant to access the source data set. If the requested content corresponds to the user's access control rights and the source tenant has authorized the destination tenant to access the source data set, the platform provides the user with the requested content. The source tenant is not provided any information about the access control rights or the identity of the user.

  • Patent number: 12414858
    Abstract: A curved expandable interbody device for placement between vertebrae having an upper structure, a lower structure, and a screw mechanism, wherein actuation of the screw mechanism moves the upper and lower structures between a collapsed configuration and an expanded configuration. A deployment tool couples to the curved expandable interbody device for positioning the device between adjacent vertebrae and actuating the screw mechanism, wherein the deployment tool can lock to the curved expandable interbody device and pivot relative to the curved expandable interbody device.

  • Publication number: 20250152155
    Abstract: A retractor for use in surgical operations comprises a pair of blade assemblies. In operation, the blade assemblies are initially in a closed position to assume a low profile, inserted into a relatively small incision, and stretched apart from each other, thereby stretching the skin about the incision to form an aperture longer than the incision. The retractor is adapted to rotate a first blade about a first axis and a second blade about a second axis. The retractor is adapted to move the pair of blade assemblies apart along a third axis. The retractor is adapted to pivot the first blade about a fourth axis and the second blade about a fifth axis. In some embodiments, a method of performing an operation, e.g. a spinal operation, on a patient using the disclosed retractor is provided.
