  • Systems for Generating Layouts of Text Objects
    Publication number: 20210397778
    Abstract: In implementations of systems for generating layouts of text objects, a computing device implements a layout system to receive input data describing a sequence of text and the layout system represents the sequence of the text as a number of text objects. A candidate layout for the text objects is identified from layout data describing a plurality of layouts, the candidate layout identified at least partially based on the number of the text objects. The layout system generates a binary tree having leaf nodes and at least one parent node representing the candidate layout. An arrangement of the text objects in the candidate layout is generated for display in a user interface based on the binary tree.

  • TUNABLE STIFFNESS BONE ROD
    Publication number: 20210393300
    Abstract: A tunable stiffness bone rod promotes the healing of fractured bones, such as tibia bones. The tunable stiffness bone rod includes a hexagonal shape that has variable levels of stiffness upon application of an axial force. The axial force will begin a low stiffness movement of the bone rod until a threshold is met. Upon reaching the threshold, the stiffness of the bone rod increases to lessen additional longitudinal movement caused by the axial force on the bone rod.
