In some embodiments, an apparatus physically located in a first geographic area defined by a first geographic boundary is provided. In embodiments, upon determining that an entity identifier associated with a message is associated with a geographic data storage policy, the apparatus is configured to transmit a geographic data residency message package comprising message data of the message to a geographic data residency server physically located within a second geographic area defined by a second geographic boundary. The second geographic area is associated with the geographic data storage policy. In some embodiments, the apparatus is configured to update the message data of the message with residency token data received from the geographic data residency server.

Abstract: A spinal interbody device (IBD) includes a solid wall that at least partially defines a boundary of the IBD and a porous body connected to the solid wall. The porous body includes a plurality of sections that form at least a portion of both a superior and inferior bone interface side of the IBD. Each section of the porous body has a different porosity than an adjacent section such that the porosities increase toward a center of the IBD.

Abstract: Disclosed herein are embodiments of a spinal implant having structures that incorporate a solid material and a porous material. The solid material provides the implant with an outer shell for structural integrity while the porous material, distributed within an interior of the implant as a lattice structure for example, promotes visibility of the implant in radiological imaging, promotes bony ingrowth and cell attachment and improves wicking.

Abstract: A spinal interbody implant includes an outer shell, a fill material disposed within the outer shell and a plurality of tubes extending from a first outer surface of the implant to a second outer surface of the implant through the fill material. The fill material is more porous than the outer shell and the plurality of tubes.

Abstract: A doorway consists of a frame and two doors. The doorway's purpose is to direct leaves and debris into a container. The doorway with the doors open allows leaves and debris to pass through the angled doors that can redirect leaves and debris into an attached receptacle.

Abstract: Embodiments for methods, systems and apparatuses of a supplier/buyer commerce network electronically introducing buyer and suppliers are disclosed. One computer-method includes electronically harvesting information related to characteristics of at least one of the buyers and anonymizing the harvested information. The anonymously harvested information is presented to a selected set of the suppliers, and a formation of a business relationship is facilitated between suppliers who express an interest in the at least one buyer.

Abstract: A desk organizer device having a housing member disposed on a substantially hollow base member having open front and back ends. A plurality of compartments disposed on and within the housing member for storing a plurality of items. An electric pencil sharpener, a digital touch screen, a tape dispenser, and at least one of cork board, foam material, and apertures for holding items being located on the housing member.

Abstract: A scooter footbelt includes a footbelt strap, a right foot receptacle and a left foot receptacle carried by the footbelt strap and a strap fastener carried by the footbelt strap.

Abstract: A bearing assembly having upper and lower bearing seats and a sliding load bearing member between the seats. The sliding member is fitted with an elastic self-centering element. The assembly in operation damps relative horizontal movement between the upper and lower seats, the self-centering element returning the sliding member to a centered position at rest. Typically a structure rests upon and is secured to the upper seat and the lower seat rests upon or is fixed to a foundation. The relative horizontal movement may be caused by earthquakes, wind loads or the like.

Abstract: A desk organizer device includes a housing member manufactured from a first predetermined material and having a first predetermined shape and a first predetermined size. At least one compartment is disposed at least one of within and on such housing member at a predetermined location for at least one of receiving and storing at least one predetermined item. Such at least one compartment is at least one of a second predetermined size and a plurality of predetermined sizes. Such at least one compartment is at least one of a second predetermined shape and a plurality of predetermined shapes.

Abstract: Disclosed is a method for using source code to create the models used in model-based testing. After exploring the intended behavior of a software package, a test engineer writes source code to model that intended behavior. The source code is compiled into a model, and the model is automatically analyzed to generate numerous test scripts that can exercise the behavior of the software package. When the tests are run, their results are compared against intended behaviors, and discrepancies are used to correct the software package (or to correct the source-code model if it was prepared incorrectly). The model coding, test generation, test execution, and comparison steps are repeated as often as necessary to thoroughly test the software package. In some embodiments, the test scripts generated by the model are written in XML (Extensible Markup Language), allowing the easy integration of the test scripts with a number of XML-based tools.

Abstract: A finite state model-based testing system has a user interface to enable a user to enter state information and transition information about a software application to be tested. The user interface further enables a user to initiate a model generation engine to generate a model of the software application from the state information and transition information. A graph traversal menu enables a user to select a graph traversal program to generate a test sequence of inputs for the software application from the model, and a test execution menu enables a user to select a test driver program to read the test sequence of inputs for the software application, and execute the test sequence of inputs on the software application.

Abstract: Methods and systems of testing software and modeling user actions are described. In some embodiments, multiple different algorithms are provided for operating on a software model. The software model describes behavior associated with software that is to be tested. Different sets of algorithms can be selected for operating on the software model to produce a sequence of test actions that are to be used to test the software. The algorithms can be mixed and matched to achieve a desired testing result. In some embodiments, the different algorithms comprise deterministic algorithms, random algorithms, and various types of algorithms therebetween. In one embodiment, the software model comprises a state graph having nodes that represent state, and links between the nodes that represent actions. The different algorithms that are available for selection can have different graph traversal characteristics such that the state graph can be traversed in different manners.
