Abstract: A medical implant device (100) is disclosed that can protect and shield an implant (101) as the implant (101) moves through body tissue. The medical implant device (100) can comprise a main body portion (110) having a payload opening (111) to receive a payload (i.e., an implant). The medical implant device (100) can also comprise a tapered nose portion (120) at a front end (103a) of the medical implant device (100) extending from the main body portion (110) and configured to penetrate body tissue. In addition, the medical implant device (100) can comprise a payload coupling interface (130) configured to couple the implant (101) to the main body portion (110).

Abstract: Dongles are becoming increasingly popular for home entertainment, but as home entertainment includes more and more products wire clutter begins to occur. Dongles power cords add to this wire clutter. Some products use a television's USB-port for power, but then the dongle will not be able to stay on for ease of next use when the television is turned off. Wire clutter and the sleep mode problems can both be solved through the implementation of a power diverter between the television power cord and the television.

The compounds are useful antimicrobial agents.

Abstract: The present invention relates to an attachment system for forming a substantially planar wall structure, intermediate and end connectors to be used in the system, and a method of assembling the system to form the desired wall structure. The intermediate connector joins adjacent ones of the wall panels and comprises two panel retention members in an overlapping relationship. Each panel retention member has a base portion, a web portion, and two substantially parallel, non-coextensive, integral flanges defining a recess for receiving an edge portion of a wall panel.
