  • MEDICAL DEVICES CONTAINING SHAPE MEMORY POLYMER COMPOSITIONS
    Publication number: 20140309691
    Abstract: The present invention relates at least in part to surgical devices which comprise a shape memory polymer material composition. Particularly, although not exclusively, the present invention relates to a fixation device e.g. an anchor device e.g. a suture anchor which comprises a shape memory material. Included in the present invention are anchor devices e.g. suture anchors which are formed entirely of a shape memory polymer material. Embodiments of the present invention comprise hybrid suture anchors, particularly suture anchors which are formed from a shape memory polymer material and a non-shape memory material. Methods of securing an anchor in a bone or tissue are also included in the present invention.

  • System and method for displaying document metadata
    Publication number: 20050071394
    Abstract: A method for displaying metadata placed on a document, includes accepting a command to load a document file that corresponds to the document into a memory of a computing device. The method also includes a computer-aided design application accepting, by way of a command line interface, a command to assign a label to each of a plurality of metadata elements in the document file. The method further includes displaying at least one of the plurality of metadata elements in response to a command to display the label assigned to the at least one of the plurality of metadata elements, thereby allowing a user to verify a value of the at least one of the plurality of metadata elements.
