Abstract: An orthopaedic surgical instrument includes a polymer 4-in-2 cutting instrument having a number of metallic cutting guides secured thereto. An A/P femoral cutting block of the instrument is removably secured to the instrument's chamfer femoral cutting block.

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.

Abstract: An orthopaedic surgical instrument system includes a compression socket configured for coupling with a selected one of a number of compressible bases. Each compressible base is shaped to conform with a posterior surface of either a dome patella implant component or an anatomical patella implant component.

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.

Abstract: There is provided an electronic program guide (EPG) provisioning system that receives traffic data for programming content included in a programming content stream, extracts programming content metadata describing the programming content from the traffic data, and obtains supplemental metadata further describing the programming content. The EPG system further enriches the programming content metadata using the supplemental metadata to produce an enhanced programming content metadata, conforms the enhanced programming content metadata to each of multiple formats corresponding respectively to EPG providers for the programming content stream, and then distributes the enhanced programming content metadata to the EPG providers in real-time with respect to receiving the traffic data.

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.

Abstract: An orthopedic surgical instrument including a polymer 4-in-1 femoral cutting block having a chamfer cutting slot defined therein, and a chamfer cutting guide assembly secured within the chamfer cutting slot. The chamfer cutting guide assembly includes a first planar surface, a second planar surface spaced apart from, and extending parallel to, the first planar surface, a third planar surface connected to the second planar surface and extending at an angle relative to the first planar surface and a fourth planar surface connected to the first planar surface and extending parallel to the third planar surface. The first planar surface and the second planar surface define a first metallic planar cutting guide, and the third planar surface and the fourth planar surface define a second metallic planar cutting guide. The chamfer cutting guide assembly may include a pair of metallic bushings.

Abstract: An orthopedic surgical instrument comprising an orthopedic cutting tool includes a metallic cutting insert configured to remove portions of a patient's bone and a body molded to the cutting insert. The cutting insert includes a plurality of chemically etched holes, and the body is molded to the cutting insert such that each of the plurality of chemically etched holes is at least partially filled by a portion of the body. The cutting insert may include a plurality of cutting teeth configured to remove portions of the patient's bone. A method of manufacturing an orthopedic surgical instrument is also disclosed.

Abstract: An orthopaedic surgical instrument comprising an orthopaedic cutting block includes a metallic bearing insert configured to support a bone cutting tool and a body molded to the bearing insert. The bearing insert includes a plurality of chemically etched holes, and the body is molded to the bearing insert such that each of the plurality of chemically etched holes is at least partially filled by a portion of the body. The body of the orthopaedic cutting block may include a bone-facing surface adapted to contact a portion of a patient's bone, and the bearing insert may be positioned to allow a surgeon to perform a cut on the patient's bone using the bearing insert for support. A method of manufacturing an orthopaedic surgical instrument is also disclosed.

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.
