Abstract: A user (e.g., a CMC scientist) identifies a change in CMC data for a regulated product, service, or system provided by an organization. A change assessment engine provides a recommendation for regulatory impact reporting. The recommendation may include a rationale and supporting evidence. The recommendation may identify the markets where the product, service, or system is registered, an indication of potential reportability in that market, specific health authority regulations that apply, and direct linkages into an internal regulatory knowledge repository of the organization. The change assessment engine may drive a user interface that guides users through the process in a consistent and repeatable manner.

Abstract: An interbody system including an implant and a tool for inserting and expanding the medical implant and locking the implant in place is disclosed. The medical implant may include an expandable body defined by a superior endplate and an inferior endplate that are hingedly coupled and may be expanded and lordosed. The superior and inferior endplate may include radially disposed and opposed surfaces that mate and/or directly contact each other when a locking screw is threaded through a screw aperture. The implant may include a threaded breakoff screw disposed in the threaded screw aperture and movable between a locked position and an unlocked position, for example. In the locked position, the threaded locking screw may urge the distal engagement surface of the first core into direct contact with the proximal engagement surface of the second core. When broken, the breakoff screw may comprise a recessed fracture surface.

Abstract: An exemplary bipod for stabilizing a firearm having a rail for attachment of accessories includes a first carriage, a turret rail member, a second carriage, first and second leg housings, and first and second linking members. The first carriage slidingly receives the rail. The turret rail member rotatably couples with the turret carriage such that the turret carriage may pan the firearm. The second carriage slidingly receives a rail portion of the turret rail member. The first and second leg housings each have an upper end pivotally coupled with the first carriage and a mount disposed distal to the upper end. The first and second linking members each include a distal end pivotally coupled with a respective mount and a proximal end pivotally coupled with the second carriage.

Abstract: Sizing a pane of a window presented on a display. The window is presented to a user on the display. Within the window, the pane is presented at a first pane size. A user input is detected from the user resizing the window. Responsive to detecting the user input resizing the window, a new size of the window resulting from the user input resizing the window is detected. Data is accessed from a machine-readable storage device corresponding to at least one user-defined pane size previously defined by the user to whom the window is presented, wherein the user-defined pane size corresponds to a particular window size. Based on the accessed user-defined pane size(s), a second pane size of the pane at which the pane is to be presented in the newly sized window is determined. The pane is presented in the newly sized window at the second pane size.
