  • Patent number: 12097121
    Abstract: Hip implant systems described herein can include a distal stem, a proximal body, and a fastener. In some embodiments, the distal stem can include a cavity configured to receive the fastener when a portion of the distal stem is positioned within the proximal body. In some embodiments, the distal stem can include a threaded exterior surface configured to mate with a fastener when a portion of the distal stem is positioned within the proximal body. In some embodiments, a distal end of the distal stem can include an anterior relief configured to conform to interior surface of a femoral canal of a patient.

  • Patent number: 12099950
    Abstract: Some embodiments of the present disclosure provide, as part of a user interface related to the fulfillment of an order, a user interface component that, when activated, causes transmission of a request to cancel the order. According to a specific configuration, receipt of a notification related to commencement of a “threshold” step in a process of fulfilling the order causes the user interface component to be disabled. Notably, by appropriately selecting the threshold step in the process of fulfilling the order, costs related to cancelling orders may be optimized while still providing enhanced order-cancelling flexibility to customers.

  • Publication number: 20200149668
    Abstract: A telescopic leaf blower extension apparatus for extending a leaf blower hose includes a proximal tube that is configured to attach to a flex tube of a leaf blower. A distal tube is coupled to the proximal tube. The distal tube is telescopably coupled to the proximal tube. The distal tube has a retracted position within the proximal tube and an alternate extended position. A clamp means is coupled to the proximal tube and is selectively engageable with the distal tube to prevent the distal tube from moving between the retracted position and the alternate extended position.
