Abstract: Systems and methods of error handling in a network interface card (NIC) are provided. For a data packet destined for a local virtual machine (VM), if the NIC cannot determine a valid translation memory address for a virtual memory address in a buffer descriptor from a receive queue of the VM, the NIC can retrieve a backup buffer descriptor from a hypervisor queue, and store the packet in a host memory location indicated by an address in the backup buffer descriptor. For a transmission request from a local VM, if the NIC cannot determine a valid translated address for a virtual memory address in the packet descriptor from a transmit queue of the VM, the NIC can send a message to a hypervisor backup queue, and generate and transmit a data packet based on data in a memory page reallocated by the hypervisor.

Abstract: A semi-rigid, fixation device includes a rigid anchor portion configured to be directly rotated and driven distally into a first bone or bone portion of a patient. The device includes a rigid cap portion configured to be held in tension against at least one of a bone plate and a second bone or bone portion of the patient and indirectly rotated under torque provided by the anchor portion. The device includes a flexible member including a plurality of woven stands and having a fixed length between first and second ends, which are fixedly respectively coupled to the anchor portion and cap portion, such that a torque provided by the direct rotation of the anchor portion is transferred through the flexible member to the cap portion when the flexible member is held in at least a first amount of longitudinal tension. Methods of use and manufacture are also provided.

Abstract: A system and method for determining position information. The method includes selecting a column, a first row, and a second row of a capacitive sensor array. The first row and second row intersect with the column of the capacitive sensor array. The method further includes measuring a differential capacitance between the first row and the second row and utilizing the differential capacitance in determining a location of an object proximate to the capacitive sensor array.

Abstract: A computer-implemented method includes receiving a plurality of attribute headings for a product and storing the product and the associated attribute headings as part of a negotiation. A request for products associated with the negotiation is received and in response, a user interface listing at least one of the attribute headings for the product and providing controls for entering an attribute value for the listed at least one attribute heading is generated and transmitted. An attribute value for the listed attribute heading is received as part of a bid during the negotiation and is stored. An indication that the negotiation is complete is received and in response, the attribute value for the listed attribute heading is locked.

Abstract: A vehicular auger implement includes an auger having a bit; a walk-behind vehicle having front and rear ends, a forward anchor point, and a rear anchor point; linkage coupling the auger to the walk-behind vehicle; and an actuator for causing the linkage to move between raised and lowered configurations. The linkage includes first, second, and third links. The first link is coupled to the walk-behind vehicle and is rotatable about the forward anchor point. The second link is coupled to and is rotatable about the first link. The second link supports the auger. The third link is coupled to and is rotatable about the second link. The third link is also coupled to the walk-behind vehicle and is rotatable about the rear anchor point.

Abstract: Embodiments of the invention may prevent or diminish a bone screw from “backing out” from bone. Bone particulate residing in channels of the bone screw may promote bone growth that would reduce the potential of backing out. Furthermore, bone particulate from drilling and tapping functions can cause increased friction. However, by placing bone particulate in channels of the bone screw, potential binding may be reduced resulting in less stress on the screw shaft. Also, breaking of screws during screw insertion may be reduced due to tapering of the screw.
