Abstract: The disclosure is directed toward presses which may comprise planar or curved press plates that can be driven toward and away from each other such as via linear reciprocating movement to press filter media sheets as opposed to using rolls. The press plates can create such features as embossments that may have the ridges and grooves, brands, creases or other such features. The press can create pleated packs or individual panels for non-pleated packs. Additionally, a variety of embossed pleat packs, unique shapes, structural components and other pleat packs that may be formed by presses or other methodology are disclosed as well as filter cartridges using such pleat packs.

Abstract: A knee replacement prosthesis includes a distal femoral implant, including a femoral head portion, including an outer arcuate surface, and interior posterior surface, an interior distal surface disposed at a first angle with respect to the interior posterior surface, and a first interior intermediate surface joining the interior posterior surface and the interior distal surface and being disposed at a second angle with respect to the interior posterior surface and at a third angle with respect to the interior distal surface. The distal femoral implant includes stackable femoral spacers secured to at least one of the interior posterior surface and the interior distal surface, thereby adjusting an aggregate spacing between the interior posterior surface and/or the interior distal surface and a resected surface of a distal femur of the patient. A tibial implant is also provided. Related methods of use of either implant or both are also provided.

Abstract: Knee prosthesis includes a femoral component adapted to fit on a distal end of the femur and a tibial insert component. The femoral component includes a measured anterior/posterior dimension defined by the posterior condyle surface and the interior surface of the anterior flange and a distal peg provided on a distal bone facing surface of each of the lateral and medial condylar structures, wherein the distal pegs are positioned at a midpoint of the measured anterior/posterior dimension. The implant system provides two distinct sizing segments and the tibial insert has a medial tibial aspect ratio of 0.74 and a lateral tibial aspect ratio of 0.65 to 0.68 for all sizes.

Abstract: Maintaining a service on a cloud network may include receiving a set of status data associated with the service and performing a scale action on the cloud network based on a scale rule applied to the set of status data. The set of status data may be related to a set of resources utilized by the service, a performance level of the service, and a workload volume of the service. The scale rule may include a utilization condition, a quality condition, a workload condition, and a budget condition.
