Abstract: A system and method for facilitating bi-directional authentication between an external device and an implanted medical device (IMD), wherein a therapy application executing on the external device is operative to communicate with the IMD via wireless telemetry communications. Certified security credentials for respective devices may be provisioned with respect to the therapy application. Upon initiating wireless telemetry communications, respective certified security credentials are mutually verified by the external device and the IMD. Responsive to successful verification, a mutual authentication process may be executed between the external device and the IMD using a respective challenge-response sequence.

Abstract: An adjustable stand for an electronic device that is operable for stable movement in two directions with the use of a single hand of a user. An ergonomic design leverages a natural and intuitive movement of a user's hand to maintain an orientation of the electronic device throughout at least 180 degrees of movement.

Abstract: Taking a digital implant or abutment level digital impression by means of intra-oral, computed tomography or other imaging method provides the restorative doctor and laboratory accurate and effective data for determining the implant position, angulation and locking feature orientation without a physical impression. Such data is correlated with a digital library to produce an output which enables design and fabrication of an accurate restorative device such as a prosthetic tooth or crown. In this way the time-consuming, costly and error prone mechanical replication of the relevant dental anatomy is obviated.

Abstract: A biometric access control system and method which provides a biometric fingerprint lock for a vehicle shifter. The device prevents would-be drivers from shifting without proper fingerprint ID. It deters automobile thieves and helps stop unauthorized drivers, like teenagers, from taking the car. The present disclosure allows primary drivers to deactivate the unit, for example, for valet or mechanical work.

Abstract: A cartridge for a disk drive has a rigid shell with a keying ear and two keying grooves. The keying ear is located on the rounded front at one corner between the top and bottom surfaces of the cartridge shell. The ear cooperates with a projection located in the drive along the drive receiving slot. The keying grooves are along the top and bottom edges of one side of the cartridge. These groves mate with projections on the cartridge receiving slot in the drive. One of the grooves extends deeper into one planar surface of the cartridge than the other grove. Both keys prevent insertion of the cartridge with any other orientation of the cartridge than the correct orientation.
