Abstract: A haptic system is described. The haptic system includes a linear resonant actuator (LRA), a receiver, and a transmitter. The LRA has a characteristic frequency and provides a vibration in response to an input signal. The receiver is configured to sense received vibration from the LRA. The transmitter is configured to provide the input signal to the LRA. The receiver is coupled with the transmitter and provides vibrational feedback based on the received vibration. The input signal incorporates the vibrational feedback.

Abstract: Systems for joint arthroplasty include prostheses which are secured to bone with sliding anchors. Examples include unicondylar and bicondylar knee prostheses for hemi-arthroplasty and total arthroplasty. Instruments guide the anchors into proper engagement with the prosthetic components. Methods of using the prostheses and instruments are disclosed.

Abstract: A haptic system is described. The haptic system includes a plurality of actuators, a plurality of receivers and at least one transmitter. Each of the actuators is configured to provide a vibration in response to an input signal. The receivers are configured to sense received vibrations from the actuators and to provide vibrational feedback based on the received vibrations. The transmitter(s) are configured to provide the input signal to each of the actuators. The receivers are coupled with the transmitter(s) and provide the vibrational feedback for the transmitter(s). The vibrational feedback indicates a phase difference between vibrations of the actuators at a particular location.

Abstract: A bone implant system to correct bone abnormalities and/or change bone morphology includes a bone implant and one or more bone anchors. The bone implant may be generally wedge shaped, and may be formed of one or more conjoined crescent shapes. The bone anchor slidingly engages the bone implant and the bone to provide fixation.

Abstract: Systems and methods for bone anchor removal include a removal guide and a removal instrument. The removal guide includes grooves for guiding the removal instrument to the anchors, and for guiding removal of the anchor. The removal instrument includes a distal working end with a grasping feature designed to engage a portion of the bone anchor and an engagement feature designed to engage the grooves of the removal guide for anchor removal.

Abstract: Data units received by a network device may be classified into traffic flow classes in which the determined traffic flow class for a data unit may be dynamically refined as the data unit is processed by the network device. A dispatch component of the network device may receive data units associated with traffic flow classes. Parallel processing engines of the network device may receive the data units from the dispatch component and may generate, for a least one of the data units, a plurality of dynamically refined indications of the traffic flow class to which the data unit belongs. Additionally, an ordering component of the network device may include a plurality of re-order queues, where the at least one data unit successively progresses through at least two of the re-order queues in an order defined by the plurality of dynamically refined indications of the traffic flow class.

Abstract: An arbiter performs arbitration over a plurality of queues and provides data to a plurality of mutually exclusive destinations using combination logic that logically combines a plurality of mutually exclusive vectors into a combination vector. Each of the mutually exclusive vectors corresponds to one of the plurality of mutually exclusive destinations. A number of vector arbiters perform arbitration on each mutually exclusive vector to select a position within the mutually exclusive vector. A combination arbiter performs arbitration on the combination vector to determine a position within the combination vector, which corresponds to the next queue to be serviced. A comparison element compares the position within a mutually exclusive vector and the position within the combination vector to determine the destination of the data within the next queue to be serviced.

Abstract: A hierarchical round robin arbiter includes a first set of arbitration vectors, each associated with a plurality of requesters. A second arbitration vector includes one bit for each arbitration vector in the first set. The single bit informs the round robin arbiter if any of the requesters associated with the corresponding arbitration vector in the first set are requesting service. The round robin arbiter can determine whether one of a number of requesters is requesting service by examining the single bit in the arbitration vector.
