Publication number: 20130030535Abstract: This invention relates to methods and instruments for performing a surgical procedure in a disc space between adjacent vertebrae. A cannula is inserted to create a working channel through the skin and tissue of a patient using a transforaminal approach to the disc space. A viewing element is used to visualize working end of the cannula and the disc space. A facetectomy is performed through the working channel to access the disc space. The disc space is prepared with various instruments, such as distractors, shims, chisels and distractor-cutters that extend through the working channel. At least implant is inserted into the disc space. The procedure allows bi-lateral support of the adjacent vertebrae with the at least one implant inserted via a unitary, minimally invasive approach to disc space.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 2, 2012Publication date: January 31, 2013Applicant: WARSAW ORTHOPEDIC, INC.Inventors: Kevin T. Foley, John L. White, Bradley T. Estes, Mingyan Liu, Loic Josse, Jeffrey D. Moore

Patent number: 8117061Abstract: A method for transforming transactional data into a forecast and confidence interval for controlling a commerce system involves moving goods between members of a commerce system, and recording transaction data related to movement of goods between the members of the commerce system. The transaction data includes price, product, time, and promotion. The model parameters are estimated based on the transactional data using a demand model to generate a forecast of demand for the goods based on a proposed price or promotion. A confidence interval of the certainty associated with the forecast of demand for the goods is determined based on the proposed price or promotion. The forecast of demand for the goods and confidence interval is provided to the commerce system to control the movement of goods based on the forecast of demand for the goods and confidence interval. The forecast and confidence interval can be graphically displayed.Type: GrantFiled: July 2, 2009Date of Patent: February 14, 2012Assignee: SAP AGInventors: Brent May, William M.

Another instrument is a template for straddling the dura. A modular distractor is also provided and preferably includes a tapered shaft with a visualization window disposed therein. Yet another instrument is a depth gauge to verify bone opening depth and dimension, preferably including a radiopaque portion. A method contemplates the use of these instruments to prepare a disc space to receive an implant.Type: GrantFiled: April 8, 2010Date of Patent: November 29, 2011Assignee: Warsaw Orthopedic, Inc.Inventors: Bradley T.

Patent number: 7912748Abstract: Markdown optimization may be performed using a computer system. Markdown objectives may include margin maximization or inventor minimization. Markdown schedule optimization uses an efficient, iterative, targeted combinatorial search. First, permissible discount steps are identified, then for each permissible discount step, a subspace of permissible step dates is identified. Elements from the date step subspace and price reduction subspace are combined and evaluated against the markdown objectives. If an improved markdown schedule is located, a new subspace of permissible step dates is defined to search the subregion of the solution space where the improved markdown optimization schedule was identified. Scheduling of inventory allocation from a distribution center is also disclosed.Type: GrantFiled: June 1, 2006Date of Patent: March 22, 2011Assignee: SAP AGInventors: Adam N. Rosenberg, Jeffrey D. Moore

Publication number: 20100070041Abstract: An expandable spinal implant including an implant body transitionable between an initial configuration and an expanded configuration. The implant body includes first and second axial walls spaced apart along a transverse axis, with at least one of the walls including first and second axial wall portions laterally offset from one another. An expansion member co-acts with the first wall portion to outwardly displace the first wall portion relative to the second wall portion to transition the implant body to the expanded configuration. In another embodiment, the first wall portion defines a recessed region relative to the second wall portion when the implant body is in the initial configuration, and wherein the recessed region is outwardly expanded as the implant to body is transitioned to the expanded configuration. In a further embodiment, the first wall portion is movable while the second wall portion remains substantially stationary.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 13, 2009Publication date: March 18, 2010Inventors: Marc M.
