Abstract: One embodiment of the present disclosure provides a system and associated processes for sharing cardholder data (CHD) between a merchant that utilizes tokenization and a second merchant that may or may not utilize tokenization. In one embodiment, the merchant, or an employee of the merchant, can use the system and associated processes to reacquire CHD from a tokenization provider system. In one embodiment, the merchant identifies to the tokenization provider system a desire to share CHD, which is associated with a token, with a second merchant. The merchant and/or the tokenization provider system can then invite the second merchant to register with the tokenization provider system. Once registered with the tokenization provider system, the second merchant can access any CHD that the merchant associated with the second merchant.

Abstract: A method of preparing a feedstock material for additive manufacturing includes: processing powders into a billet, the billet comprising a metal matrix composite including nanoscale ceramic particles embedded in an aluminum alloy matrix; extruding the billet into an extruded preform, whereby the nanoscale ceramic particles are substantially fully embedded within grains and/or grain boundaries of the aluminum alloy matrix; and forming a feedstock material for additive manufacturing from the extruded preform, the nanoscale ceramic particles being or remaining substantially fully embedded within the aluminum alloy matrix.

Abstract: The present disclosure generally relates to an elbow arthoplasty prosthesis that includes an ulnar component, a humeral component, one or more articulation liners, and a retention trap. The ulnar component includes a spherical bearing head that can be inserted into the humeral component in a number of orientations. The articulation liners and the retention trap are operatively engaged to the humeral component to retain the ulnar component within a humeral socket. The present disclosure also relates to methods of assembling and implanting the prosthetic device.

Abstract: A new and innovative method of routing a strand of material for creating a self-locking construct that joins two objects is provided. More specifically, the provided routing method includes a crossover point at which the routed strand of material crosses over itself thereby enabling the strand portions routed through one of the objects to travel in a same direction when the self-locking construct is cinched. The strand portions traveling in the same direction generates less friction between the potions than if the portions traveled in opposite directions. Accordingly, the provided routing method helps enable a self-locking construct that generates less friction than typical self-locking constructs, which thereby helps reduce the occurrences of weaknesses in the final self-locking construct. The reduced friction generation also helps increase an ease of use for a user when cinching the self-locking construct.

Abstract: The present application provides a new and innovative device for aiding in screw installation through a distal end of a nail installed in a patient's bone (e.g., humerus). The nail's distal end is disposed away from an insertion point of the nail into the bone. The targeting device includes a targeting body having an outer frame, a flexible member connected to the outer frame, a targeting block having multiple holes and connected to the flexible member such that the flexibility of the flexible member enables the targeting block to translate towards sides of the outer frame, and an adjustment assembly that adjusts and maintains the targeting block's position relative to the sides of the outer frame. The targeting device further includes a base plate removably coupled to the targeting body. The targeting device may be coupled to the nail at the base plate.

Abstract: Payment card transactions at a point of sale (POS) are secured in certain embodiments by intercepting, with a POS security layer installed on a POS terminal, payment data from the POS terminal, transmitting the payment data from the POS security layer to a server security application installed on a POS server, and providing false payment data from the POS security layer to a POS terminal application installed on the POS terminal. The false payment data in various embodiments is processed as if it were the payment data, such that the POS terminal transmits an authorization request to the POS server using the false payment data. In addition, the authorization request may be transmitted from the POS server to a payment gateway.
