Abstract: An intervertebral spacer inserter includes a sleeve having a longitudinal axis, a hollow sleeve bore extending through the sleeve along the longitudinal axis, a sleeve tip end and an opening of a passage disposed in the sleeve tip end. The passage extends into the sleeve to the sleeve shaft along a passage axis that intersects the longitudinal axis at an angle less than about 90°. A sliding tip with an elongated slot is in contact with the sleeve tip end and is moveable with respect to the sleeve tip end between a first position with the opening accessible through the elongated slot and disposed adjacent a first end of the elongated slot and a second position with the opening accessible through the elongated slot and disposed adjacent a second end of the elongated slot opposite the first end.

Abstract: A hybrid mandrel for forming a composite part may comprise a core and a sleeve located around the core. The core may include a rigid material. The sleeve may comprise an elastomeric material. The part may be formed by locating the hybrid mandrel in an injection mold, depositing a molten resin around the hybrid mandrel, curing the molten resin; and removing the hybrid mandrel.

Abstract: An acoustic panel includes a front skin comprising a plurality of apertures, a back skin, and a core positioned between the front skin and the back skin. The core includes at least one primary core portion including a honeycomb structure defining a plurality of cavities extending from the front skin to the back skin. The core further includes a secondary core portion external to the at least one primary core portion and including a foam structure extending from the front skin to the back skin.

Abstract: Disclosed herein is a system and method for determining one or more metrics indicative of a user's financial health. The system may present information using a financial oculus, including one or more visualizations. The visualization(s) may present financial information in a simple, but comprehensive format and may allow adjustments to one or more financial goals. The user may interact with the app and receive information regarding the impact certain changes may have. The system may also provide suggestion(s) associated with relationship(s). In some embodiments, the suggestion(s) may be determined based on the user's interaction with the financial oculus. Embodiments of the disclosure may include an interactive app that allows a user to explore the impacts of different financial goals by adjusting the properties of the visualization(s).

Abstract: Modular armor for a hard upper torso (HUT) of an atmospheric suit that maintains a specific atmosphere within the suit includes a first outer layer including a first surface and a second surface opposite the first surface and a second outer layer including a first surface and a second surface opposite the first surface. A core is sandwiched between the first surface of the first outer layer and the first surface of the second outer layer. The armor is fabricated such that the second surface of the first outer layer is conformally affixed to the HUT.
