A method of insertion includes inserting an intervertebral spacer and plate together using an insertion tool and, upon removal of the insertion tool, the intervertebral spacer and plate are no longer considered connected/coupled and act as separate components.

Abstract: A document handler system and method includes timed operation functionality in which the manufacturer of the document handler may input coded information in the document handler to establish a timed operation of the document handler which may be contingent on continued payments for use of the document handler. Alternatively, or in addition, the timed operation may be used to establish an appropriate warranty period during which the manufacturer is obligated to provide repairs, modification and/or support for the document handler.

Abstract: The present invention provides an expandable fusion device capable of being installed inside an intervertebral disc space to maintain normal disc spacing and restore spinal stability, thereby facilitating an intervertebral fusion. In an exemplary embodiment, the present invention provides an intervertebral implant. The intervertebral implant may be configured to transition from a collapsed configuration having a first height and a first width to an expanded configuration having a second height and a second width.

Abstract: A rotorcraft having a rotor system including a yoke, a plurality of grip assemblies, each of which is hingedly attach a rotor blade to the yoke, a plurality of flap stops, each flap stop attached to a respective grip assembly, a channel bounded by an upper and lower retaining surfaces, and a droop ring slideably disposed in the channel of the droop limiting system. The droop ring has a body with an inner surface, an outer surface, and a first end surface between the inner surface and the outer surface. The droop ring further has a first wear element removably disposed at the first end surface and extending above the first end surface and spaces the first end surface apart from the channel. Each flap stop is arranged to contact the outer surface of the droop ring and limit a downward droop of the respective rotor blade.

Abstract: A well system. The well system includes a first piece of wellsite equipment and a monitoring and control unit. The first piece of wellsite equipment includes an electronic storage device storing information related to the first piece of wellsite equipment. The monitoring and control unit is in electronic communication with the storage device of the first piece of wellsite equipment and configured to receive the stored information from the first piece of wellsite equipment, identify the first piece of wellsite equipment, and configure operational settings of the first piece of wellsite equipment.

Abstract: A downhole tool control apparatus includes a control assembly, a stroking assembly, and a pocket sleeve positioned in an outer sub. The control assembly and stroking assembly are independently slidable axially within the outer sub. The control assembly and stroking assembly slide depending on the flow rate of fluid through the downhole tool actuator. The stroking assembly includes a spline barrel having a spline projection positioned within a spline pocket formed in the pocket sleeve. The pocket sleeve and control assembly include one or more ratchet teeth positioned in the pocket sleeve such that as the flow rate is changed between a high and a low flow rate, the spline projection engages the ratchet teeth until an actuated cycle is completed, allowing the downhole tool actuator to move to an actuation position.

Abstract: A rotorcraft main rotor system, including a yoke, a rotor blade, and a grip assembly attaching the rotor blade to the yoke. The grip assembly includes a grip body formed from a contiguous laminated composite and has a substantially constant thickness, where the grip body has an upper extension, a lower extension and a connecting portion connected between an inboard end of the upper extension and an inboard end of the lower extension. An inside surface of the upper extension faces, and is substantially parallel to, an inside surface of the lower extension, and the upper extension has first features and the lower extension has second features that are aligned with the first features, where the first features and second features each include at least one of an edge contour, attachment holes, or first protective elements.

Abstract: The present disclosure relates generally to well operations. The present disclosure relates more particularly to a systems and methods for independently and/or simultaneously treating multiple wells from a centralized location using a split flow pumping system configuration. The split flow pumping system configuration may comprise one or more blenders, one or more boost pumps, a pumping system comprising one or more pumps, a component storage system, and a fluid storage system for treatment of two or more wells using two or more treatment compositions. The split flow pumping system configuration may comprise one or more controllers for controlling the one or more blenders, the one or more boost pumps, the pumping system comprising one or more pumps, the component storage system, and the fluid storage system.

Abstract: A method of performing a wellbore operation may include providing a real-time treatment decision engine, equipment centric decision engine, and equipment controls. The equipment centric decision engine may be configured to interface with the real-time treatment decision engine and the equipment controls. The equipment centric decision may include an operational database comprising wellbore servicing equipment models. The method may further include providing wellbore servicing equipment. The wellbore servicing equipment may be operable to be controlled by the equipment controls. The method may further include sending a command from the real-time treatment decision engine to the equipment centric decision engine. The method may further include evaluating the command using the wellbore servicing equipment models. The method may further include selecting equipment to carry out the command based at least in part on the wellbore servicing equipment models.

Abstract: A joint spacer therapeutically maintains separation of bones of a joint. A carriage is slideably retained within the frame and has at least one ramped surface. An actuator screw is threadably engaged with the frame, and rotatably connected to the carriage, to cause the carriage to slideably move within the frame when the actuator screw is rotated. First and second endplates engage the bones of the joint, and each has at least one ramped surface that is mateable with the ramped surface of the carriage, whereby when the carriage is slideably moved by rotation of the actuator screw, the endplates ramped surface slides against the carriage ramped surface to cause the endplates to move along an axis transverse to the longitudinal axis of the frame, to increase the height of the spacer. Piercing elements are connected to the carriage to pierce bone of the joint when the carriage is moved.

Abstract: Disaggregated resources distributed among resource nodes provide access to resource consumers by offering resource node information to the resource consumers. Resource node information supplied by each individual resource node comprises incomplete information with respect to the complete disaggregated resource. Resource consumers collect resource node information to create maps of the disaggregated resource, ensure coherency, or manage the disaggregated resource.
