Abstract: Techniques and devices for enhancing media content and presence are discussed herein. An example technique may include aggregating social media data from a plurality of agent profiles and determining a composite score corresponding to each respective agent profile by applying a media enhancement model to the social media data. The example technique may further include cataloging each respective agent profile into an agent profile group of a plurality of agent profile groups based upon the composite score corresponding to the respective agent profile, and determining one or more top media posts by applying the media enhancement model to the plurality of agent profile groups and the social media data. The example technique may further include displaying the one or more top media posts on a virtual social media board for viewing by a respective agent associated with each respective agent profile.

Abstract: A sub-miniature surgical staple cartridge includes an elongated housing having longitudinally extending strips forming walls with a wall thickness preferably less than 0.015 inch. The walls define a plurality of longitudinally spaced pockets which receive a corresponding plurality of U-shaped surgical staples above generally flat corresponding drivers. The thin walls are formed of sheet metal or extruded plastics material or heat-formed sheet plastics material with the outer side walls having opposite end walls welded together or integrally connected. The outer side walls may be sheet metal enclosing sheet metal or plastic extruded internal walls, or the entire cartridge may be extruded of a plastics material or formed of sheet plastics material and have a plastic bottom wall.

Abstract: An earmold and a method of manufacturing an earmold for a hearing aid that conveys amplified sound from the hearing aid into the ear canal to a closed cavity adjacent the tympanic membrane. The earmold includes an acoustic conduction tube having an external diameter smaller than the ear canal and a flexible flanged tip that exerts negligible pressure on the wall of the canal. One end of the tube is held in place in the canal by the flanged tip. The opposite end of the tube may be positioned in the ear aperture by a fitting in the ear concha that may be integral with the tube. The hearing aid and the earmold leave the canal open preferably to a point past the canal isthmus.

Abstract: A method and apparatus for reducing distortion of an acoustical waveform by locating a plurality of microspheres to interact with interfering acoustical waveforms are described.
