Abstract: A biocompatible polymer composition is disclosed comprised of high density polyethylene particles. The high density polyethylene particles when sintered into an article can promote vascular growth. For example, when molded into an article, the particles produce a porous structure particularly well suited for maxillofacial implants.

Abstract: A polymer micropowder is disclosed made from a high density polyethylene polymer. In one aspect, the polymer micropowder is produced through a grinding process. The high density polyethylene particles, for instance, can initially have a multilobal shape that includes nodes that are broken off during the grinding process to produce the micropowder. The resulting polymer micropowder has a very low bulk density.

Each gripping assembly includes a gripping element that defines an interface slot configured to receive the AAMPS workpiece. The interface slot is defined by a pair of transversely extending edges of the gripping element and a longitudinal edge of the gripping element disposed between the pair of transversely extending edges.

Abstract: An electrical receptacle, that receives an electrical plug having a male terminal or a female terminal, includes the other of the male terminal or female terminal and a latch that, responsive to movement of the electrical plug toward the electrical receptacle resulting in movement of the male terminal into the female terminal, rides along serrations of the serrated insert such that the latch and one of the serrations cooperate to resist disengagement of the electrical plug from the electrical receptacle.

Abstract: A system receives a vehicle transport instruction for transporting a vehicle.
