  • Patent number: 9883872
    Abstract: An adjustable reaming device can include a proximal reamer and a positionable element. The positionable element removably attaches to the proximal reamer at one of a plurality of discrete longitudinal locations along the proximal reamer. A distal end of the positionable element forms a stop, which can contact a proximal end of a distal reamer and thereby limit distal motion of the proximal reamer with respect to the distal reamer. When the distal reamer is in contact with the positionable element, the distal reamer and proximal reamer are longitudinally offset by a one of a plurality of specified offsets. In some examples, the specified offsets correspond to a plurality of specified, discrete lengths for which implantable femoral stems are available.

  • Publication number: 20030120584
    Abstract: A system and method for sharing and managing supply chain data including data relating to market activities. The system generates an item called a market activity, which may be accessed by one or more users. The system may comprise of several other logistical systems and/or may interface with other systems providing a number of functionalities relating to market activity data and other data useful in implementing and evaluating market activities. The system may further control user access to supply chain data based upon the status of the market activity.

  • Publication number: 20020138324
    Abstract: A system and method for sharing and manipulating supply chain data by assigning attributes to the data, creating hierarchies, calendars, filters and freeze profiles. Manipulation of the data may be accomplished by allocation, aggregation and conversion using predefined relationships and rules. Selective sharing of data may be accomplished by predefined partnerships and filters. System users are able to selectively view the data in a customize desirable format.
