Abstract: Disclosed in an orthopedic implant that comprises a spacer portion having a superior portion and an inferior portion, and a staple portion. The staple portion is integral with the spacer portion and comprises a crown portion and first and second leg portions, the first and second leg portions having distal end that converge from the crown portion and that are composed of a material that has superelastic properties at body temperatures, whereby the first and second leg portions are configured to impart a compressive biasing force when the implant is installed with the legs under tension.

Abstract: Disclosed are orthopedic implant kits. One disclosed kit comprises an implant having a joint head portion, the joint head portion having a generally convex distal surface and generally concave proximal surface, the implant comprising a post portion protruding proximally from the proximal surface, the post portion having a dorsal surface and a ventral surface (which is a plantar surface in the case of a metatarsal bone) and including a first threaded aperture extending therebetween, and a bone screw. The bone screw has a threaded shaft complementary to the threaded surface of the post portion and preferably is configured to provide bicortical fixation of the implant.

Abstract: Features are disclosed for automatically facilitating knowledge sharing using information collected during meetings. Collected information may include both the content and context of a meeting. The meeting content may comprise text collected by automatic speech recognition or entered manually at a user device. The meeting context may comprise information such as the identities of meeting participants and subject matter from a meeting agenda. The content and context information may be used to identify relevant topics for which knowledge is available, and the available knowledge may be presented to one or more of the meeting participants.

Abstract: A two-wheeled, axially-expandable cart having an axially-expandable platform that includes a pair of platform members that are moveable axially between a collapsed position where the edges of the platform members are confronting, and an expanded position when the edges are space apart, and a pair of wheels, each wheel connected through an axle to and extending axially from each platform member. The two-wheeled cart provides a method for hauling an insulated cooler, where the cooler is positioned onto the platform assembly with its center of gravity forward of the platform assembly, and with an extending strap member laced through a front handle of the cooler, for raising the front end of the cooler off the ground and pulling the cooler forward, secured to the two-wheeled cart.

Abstract: A pour spout device including a lid and a vented pour spout for improving the sealing of an opening of a wide-mouthed jar or container. The lid has a cover and a threaded outer wall, and a seal ring track on the inner side of the cover, having an inner boundary defined by a plurality of retaining ribs spaced radially inwardly from the outer wall of the lid. An annular seal is removably secured within the seal ring track and is retained by the plurality of retaining ribs. Each quadrant of the inner side of the lid has at least one of the arcuate-shaped retaining ribs, each having an outer-facing surface that retains the inside edge of all four quadrants of the annular seal from being biased laterally out of the seal ring track when the annular seal is squeezed between the lid and the upper rim of the container.

Abstract: An analysis service may crawl communication events occurring on an organization-wide application. The analysis service may analyze the events to determine communication events that are relevant to a record of a management application of the organization. The analysis service may generate data points for the record based on analysis of the communication events of the organization. The relevant communication events and data points may provide contexts to users of the management application.
