Publication number: 20200000598Abstract: A replacement knee implant has a femoral implant and a tibial implant, each of which are inset in a bone surface. The tibial implant is generally elongated with one end rounded and an opposite end conforming to the shape of the tibia, and is made of a metal alloy or a ceramic. The upper surface is dished while the lower surface is planar and can be parallel or sloped relative to the upper surface, and can have a keel for fixation. The femoral implant for implementation in a femoral condyle is rounded such that, when implemented, the femoral implant is flush at the anterior and posterior sides and protruding away from the femur between the anterior and posterior ends. The femoral implant can have an elongated keel for extending into the femur, and can be made from a highly cross-linked polyethylene.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 13, 2019Publication date: January 2, 2020Applicant: New York UniversityInventors: Peter Stanley Walker, Joseph A.

Patent number: 6335963Abstract: An electronic mail system provides a user with notification of a received e-mail message without requiring the user to call into their e-mail service provider. A user registers with an e-mail service to be notified of a received e-mail message, and the user is then notified of the received e-mail message by the desired system, such as telephone, voice mail, or a pager.Type: GrantFiled: December 1, 1997Date of Patent: January 1, 2002Assignee: Nortel Networks LimitedInventor: Joseph A.

Patent number: 5987116Abstract: A call servicing system allows service agents to service calls from customers. The system includes local customer switches, local agent switches, and a customer database connected to a network call center. The local customer switches direct calls to and from the customers and the local agent switches direct calls to and from the service agents. The customer database stores information regarding the customers sending the calls. The network call center receives a call from a first one of the customers, queries the customer database to retrieve customer information corresponding to the first customer, and concurrently routes the customer call and the corresponding customer information to one of the service agents.Type: GrantFiled: April 11, 1997Date of Patent: November 16, 1999Assignee: Northern Telecom LimitedInventors: Robert W.

Patent number: 4583383Abstract: The device comprises a generally L-shaped body of plastic, metal or the like, with two flat arms of unequal length set at an angle from each other about 105.degree.-120.degree.. The shorter arm has a key-receiving slot at its free end, while the longer arm has a beverage can pull tab-receiving slot at its free end for prying up that tab. The body may also include a hook to pull the pried up tab completely from the can. The device also includes a key chain-receiving opening. The key-receiving slot can have sloped upwardly converging walls to accommodate keys of various sizes. Such walls may be integral to the body or part of an insert disposed in the key-receiving slot. The device enables car keys and the like to be easily temporarily fitted therein and extends therefrom for insertion in a lock. The key can then be easily turned in the lock by rotating the longer arm away from the lock, thus avoiding bumping and chipping the users fingernails against the lock.Type: GrantFiled: January 28, 1985Date of Patent: April 22, 1986Inventors: Joseph Bosco, Deborah Bosco
