Abstract: A weighted and holographic plastic spinner blade comprises a plastic elliptical-shaped spinner blade having a body formed in plastic injection molding and, integral to the body, a printed label on a first side of body and a weight at an aft end of body. An ink or foil is hot stamped at a second side of the body to create a holographic image that is visible through the body and printed label, forming visual fish attractant properties. Method of manufacture includes: providing an elliptical-shaped mold; positioning a partially transparent printed label on a first side of mold; positioning a weight member in an aft end of the mold; injecting a polymer composition into the mold to form body; hot stamping foil on second side of the body, the ink or foil forming a holographic image; the holographic image visible through the at least partially transparent printed label and body.

Abstract: A method for detecting changes in geospatial imagery. An imaging device is operated to take two images of a single location. The two images are received at processor, which normalizes the visible band and near infrared band of the two images. The two images are registered. Corresponding pixels of the two images are divided into a first group with slope and a second group without slope. Slope groupings are compared to determine which corresponding pixels have a probability of change greater than a predetermined threshold. Vector polygons are created based on the comparing slope groupings, to indicate areas of change in the two images. The areas of change in the two images are displayed on a display device.

Abstract: An article divider assembly is provided with a support bracket adapted to be mounted to a retail display. A divider member extends from the support bracket and is sized to extend between a pair of articles at an upper region of the pair of articles to divide the articles without blocking an outward face of the articles. The divider member comprises a proximal end mounted to the support bracket and a distal end extending away from the support bracket. A display bracket is mounted to the distal end of the divider member.

Abstract: A reactive hot melt (RHM) composition is provided as a mixture of a urethane prepolymer which is a reaction product of at least one crystallizable polyol, a perfluoropolyether polyol, and at least one isocyanate, a filler material, and a teachable plasticizer consisting of an aliphatic ester of a carboxylic acid.

Abstract: The present disclosure generally relates to an intervertebral disc prosthesis for partially or totally replacing an organic intervertebral disc. The disc prosthesis includes an interbody device, a face plate and a pair of locking mechanisms for achieving dual fixation in the cephalad and caudal direction. Methods according to the present disclosure achieve such dual fixation in a single fixation step.

Abstract: Systems and techniques are disclosed for mobile device network traffic modification and user identity based restrictions on data access. One of the methods includes a user device receiving a request to enter a restricted mode, the restricted mode enforcing compliance of rules associated with electronic personal health information (ePHI). A user interface presented on the user device is updated according to restricted mode. Functionality of the user device is constrained based on the restricted mode, with information generated during the restricted mode being encrypted on the user device.

Abstract: A composite interbody device for use with spinal fusion surgery is described herein. The composite interbody device comprises a central body made from a radiolucent biocompatible polymer (e.g., PEEK or UHMWPE) and metallic plates, which are placed at the superior and inferior surfaces of the central body. The metallic plates are comprised of an end plate that is adjacent to a vertebral body and an intermediate plate that is adjacent to the central body. The end plates may have one or more arrays of apertures to facilitate bone growth into the end plates to secure the interbody device within the intervertebral space. The intermediate plates may also have one or more arrays of apertures to allow the central body to bond to the end plates through compression molding, injection molding, and/or heat molding.

Abstract: Disclosed embodiments relate to a fastener operable to be received into an opening defined in a plate. The fastener may include a modular sleeve having an actuatable mechanism operable to prevent the rotation of the fastener relative to the plate. The modular sleeve may be moved from a non-actuated first position and an actuated second position to actuate the actuatable mechanism. A portion of the modular sleeve may be accessible from a top side of the head of the fastener through a plurality of channels in the head, and the modular sleeve may be accessible through the plurality of channels in the head in order to actuate the modular sleeve.

Abstract: The present invention is directed to a profile used to support fire retardant and or wall sheathing behind opposing wall sheathing edges, horizontally at head of walls, and behind control/reveal joint profiles. The profiles are shaped to support wall sheathing, intumescent stopping, and fire rated “rips” of wall sheathing and work in a manner that allows protection or support of intersecting opposing drywall edges.
