  • Patent number: 11806252
    Abstract: An orthopaedic surgical instrument system that includes an orthopaedic surgical instrument adapted to be positioned on a proximal end of a patient's tibia, and a tibial bearing trial assembly, and a tibial evaluation component, and a tibial base trial component configured to be coupled to the orthopaedic surgical instrument. A tibial evaluation component includes a base plate and a generally Y-shaped posterior buttress extending upwardly from a superior surface of the base plate, such that the posterior buttress of the insert component is configured to be received in the opening of the tibial bearing trial assembly to prevent rotation of the tibial bearing trial component relative to the tibial base trial component.

  • Publication number: 20230210543
    Abstract: A femoral finishing rasp assembly for use in an orthopaedic surgical procedure includes a femoral finishing rasp and an impactor adaptor. The femoral finishing rasp includes femoral-facing anterior and posterior surfaces, each of which includes a corresponding set of rasping teeth. The impactor adaptor is configured to couple to an exterior surface of the femoral finishing rasp and to an orthopaedic impactor to facilitate the use of the femoral finishing rasp on a distal end of a patient's surgically-prepared femur. A method for performing an orthopaedic surgical procedure using the femoral finishing rasp assembly is also disclosed.

  • Patent number: 11102522
    Abstract: According to one implementation, an electronic program guide (EPG) provisioning system includes a computing platform having a hardware processor and a system memory storing a software code. The hardware processor executes the software code to receive traffic data for programming content included in a programming content stream, extract programming content metadata describing the programming content from the traffic data, and obtain supplemental metadata further describing the programming content. In addition, the hardware processor executes the software code to enrich the programming content metadata using the supplemental metadata to produce an enhanced programming content metadata, conform the enhanced programming content metadata to each of multiple formats corresponding respectively to EPG providers for the programming content stream, and distribute the enhanced programming content metadata to the EPG providers in real-time with respect to receiving the traffic data.

  • Patent number: 10898347
    Abstract: A surgical instrument and method for an orthopaedic arthroplasty procedure is disclosed. The instrument includes a shaft having a first end, a second end, and a longitudinal axis extending through a center of the shaft between the first and second ends. The surgical instrument further includes a spine extending outwardly from the first end of the shaft in a direction perpendicular to the longitudinal axis, wherein the spine has a longitudinal extent that is parallel to the longitudinal axis. When the surgical instrument is in contact with a tibial implant component, the spine is adapted to be positioned within an intercondylar notch of a femoral component.

  • Patent number: 10805674
    Abstract: Systems, methods, and articles of manufacture for content aggregation and distribution for real-time and non-real-time production of video content items may be realized by receiving, at a first device from a second device, an annotated video stream that includes principal material in a principal spectrum (which is in-band for output on a display device) and supplemental material in a supplemental spectrum (which is out-of-band for the display device) and in response to receiving, from the downstream device, an indication that the principal material is of secondary interest and that the supplemental material is of primary interest: repackaging the annotated video stream to include the supplemental material in the principal spectrum via insertion, substitution, or splicing. The content may be repackaged in real-time with linear delivery, and in non-real-time with on-demand delivery, and various entities may add content for later inclusion, and adjust which content is transmitted to downstream entities.

  • Publication number: 20200021630
    Abstract: Techniques for dynamic content streaming. Based on analyzing respective client data of each of multiple client devices, a respective profile corresponding to a current session on the respective client device is determined. Based on the respective profile for each client device, a respective custom video modification to apply to a first video stream is determined. The respective custom video modification is applied to the first video stream to create a modified video stream having a relatively greater measure of conformity to the respective profile than prior to modification. Each modified video stream is transmitted to the respective client device for output.

  • Patent number: 10476922
    Abstract: Embodiments provide techniques for providing custom digital broadcast video streams. Embodiments include receiving, at a content streaming server, a first video stream to transmit to a client device. A user profile corresponding to a current session on the client device is determined. One or more custom video modifications to apply to the first video stream are also determined, based on the determined user profile. Embodiments apply the determined one or more custom video modifications to the first video stream to create a modified video stream. The modified video stream is then transmitted to the client device.
