Abstract: Devices and methods of correcting vertebral misalignment, including, e.g., spondylolisthesis, are disclosed. In one embodiment, a vertebral implant may include an assembly configured to be secured to a first vertebral body, wherein the assembly includes a frame made of a first material and at least one end plate made of a second material different than the first material; a reducing plate configured to be slidably received over the central portion, wherein the reducing plate is configured to be secured to a second vertebral body; and an actuator configured to move the reducing plate relative to the frame.

Abstract: Compounded virgin polyethylene and post-consumer recyclate HDPE compositions with improved processability and mechanical properties, including processes of making, products and application including general purpose films and food packaging are described herein.

Abstract: A cursor control system for a processor-based system may receive input commands through a digital camera. Displacements of the camera along two transverse axes may correlate to displacements of a cursor image on a display screen associated with the processor-based system. Thus, the camera may be utilized for image capture operations and likewise for controlling the processor-based system's cursor image. The camera may then function not only as a conventional camera but also as a pointing device.

Abstract: Web access monitoring is accomplished by obtaining a plurality of graphical output images output by a processing system during use by a first user, processing the images into a video file, and a second user viewing the video file. Background data corresponding to each graphical image, such as the Uniform Resource Locator (URL) of a Web page being viewed and the time, is obtained and integrated into the video file. A timer determines the frequency at which the graphical images are obtained. Also, the time at which the graphical images are obtained is determined by trigger events, such as a new Web page being loaded.
