Abstract: A system includes a computing device comprising a memory storing instructions configured to cause a processor to receive: purchase data associated with products purchased by a user, online activity data performed by the user and other users and associated with information pertaining to the products, and vendor information comprising retail sales data, after-market sales data, and product availability associated with the products. The processor determines one or more values of the products based on the purchase data, the online activity data, and the vendor information and whether the purchased products correspond to specialty products based on the purchase data, the online activity data, and the values of the products. The processor may then send a notification to the user comprising an offer for insurance for the products in response to determining the products correspond to specialty products.

Abstract: A system implements a surge protection bus bar. The system includes a surge protection device that includes a connection point. The system further includes a carrier assembly juxtaposed to the surge protection device. The carrier assembly includes an interconnection point, an attachment point, and a rigid bar connecting between an interconnection point and the attachment point. A proximal end of the rigid bar integrally forms the interconnection point and a distal end of the rigid bar includes the attachment point.

Abstract: An elevator of a medical device may comprise: a plurality of segments joined together by at least one hinge, and a control element coupled to at least one segment of the plurality of segments. A first segment of the plurality of segments may be a discrete structure. Proximal or distal movement of the control element may be configured to move the at least one segment of the plurality of segments relative to another of the plurality of segments.

Abstract: A surgical implant system includes a surgical implant for securing adjacent vertebrae of a spine to each other. The surgical implant includes a spacer having at least one implant eyelet. The surgical implant system also includes at least one vertebral anchor configured for insertion through the at least one implant eyelet to fasten the surgical implant to the spine. The vertebral anchor has a tip portion, a head portion, an elongate shank extending from the head portion, and an elongate fin extending from the head portion and along a surface of the elongate shank. The elongate shank and the elongate fin form a generally t-shaped cross-section.

Abstract: A device for treating hemorrhoids includes a housing sized and shaped for insertion to a target site within a rectum. The device also includes an inner member received within the housing such that the member may move longitudinally relative to the housing. In addition, the device includes a ligating mechanism at a distal end of the member which includes grasping arms movable between a receiving configuration in which distal ends of the arms are separated from one another and a grasping configuration in which the distal ends are drawn together to grasp tissue. The mechanism includes a ligating band received around the arms that is movable distally off of the arms to constrict around tissue grasped by the arms.
