Abstract: A chisel includes a blade joined with a handle configured to be struck by a striking instrument. The blade includes a front beveled cutting edge portion at its forward end, a beveled side cutting edge portion along one longitudinal side of the blade, and a strike surface along an opposite, longitudinal side. The blade also has a main body portion that narrows in thickness as it extends in a forward direction from a relatively rearward portion thereof to the front beveled cutting edge portion and that narrows in thickness as it extends in a lateral direction from the strike surface towards the beveled side cutting edge portion. The beveled side cutting edge portion has a surface forms an angle with a surface of the main body portion.

Abstract: An interbody spacer includes concave lateral surfaces extending at an angle with respect to the longitudinal axis. In one aspect, the interbody spacer includes upper and lower convex surfaces defined by an arc extending from a center point offset from the spacer midpoint. In another aspect, lateral edges of the upper and lower surfaces are also defined by convex arcs extending from a center point offset from the spacer midpoint.

Abstract: The invention provides a demolition tool that can be used in many ways for the demolition of construction materials or other materials. The demolition tool includes a handle having a head at one end. The head has a longitudinal central plane that bisects the head, a strike contact face, and toothed, stepped grasping jaws that accommodate multiple sizes of lumber or other material. The head may also include a blunt blade edge below the strike contact face for striking and demolishing material. The demolition tool includes a bent end pry bar at a second end of the handle. The bent end pry bar being offset 90 degrees from the longitudinal central plane of the tool head enabling full range of motion without interfering with other tool functions. The demolition tool may comprise a single piece of material and may be softer than tools used to strike it, but harder than materials which it is used to strike.

Abstract: A system or apparatus and method which provide the transfer of files in a network, thereby leveraging clients via an email is disclosed. The system or apparatus and method include a client machine readable medium, a broker server, and an attachment server. A user prepares and issues a request for a file on the client machine readable medium and sends the request to the broker server. The client machine readable medium verifies its identity with the broker server. Upon authorization by the broker server, the request is sent to the attachment server for the file requested by the client machine readable medium. A link to the requested file is sent in a transfer receipt by email from the attachment server to the client machine readable medium. The client machine readable medium invokes the attachment server and the client machine readable medium accesses the file via the link in the transfer receipt, which enables the requested file to be downloaded and received by the client machine readable medium.

Abstract: A stapler includes a housing having a hand grip portion constructed and arranged to be manually grasped by an operator, a staple drive track disposed in the housing, a staple feed track leading to the staple drive track configured to guide staples toward the drive track, and a staple driver mounted within the staple drive track, the staple driver configured to drive staples into a workpiece. The stapler further includes a guide pivotally mounted in a body portion of the housing. The guide has an elongated member receiving region. The guide is configured to pivot between a stored position in which the guide is disposed within the housing and a deployed position in which the guide extends out of the housing.

Abstract: A computer security system comprising security logic that is independent of the host CPU (13) for controlling access between the host CPU (13) and the storage device (21). A program memory (41) that is independent of the computer memory unalterably stores and provides computer programs for operating the processor (37) in a manner so as to control access to the storage device (21). The security logic comprises logic in bus bridge circuitry . The bus bridge circuitry can be embodied in the south bridge circuit (326) of a computer system (11) or alternatively in a SOC circuit (351) of a HDD. All data access by the host CPU (13) to the data storage device (21) is blocked before initialisation of the security system and is intercepted immediately after the initialisation under the control of the security logic. The security logic effects independent control of the host CPU (13) and configuration of the computer (11) to prevent unauthorised access to the storage device (21) during the interception phase.

In one embodiment, the connector portion is formed integral with the plate portion so as to define a unitary, single-piece structure. In another embodiment, the bone engagement member comprises one or more prongs formed integral with the plate portion and/or one or more bone screws extending through corresponding openings in the plate portion. In certain embodiments, the spinal plate includes a pair of connector portions integrally attached to the upper side of the plate portion and defining channels, each sized to receive an elongate rod therein.
