The information may be stored by sending it from a remote personal computer to a central database using the Internet. The information may be stored on the central database. The information may be accessed on the wireless device (e.g. on a display) or sent from the wireless device or a central database to remote locations, such as a doctor's office or hospital.

Abstract: In certain aspects, the present invention provides compositions and methods for treating mucositis.

Abstract: A bone anchor (100) for attaching a rod (108) to a bone has an anchor member (106) for attachment to the bone and an anchor head (104) having a U-shaped opening for receiving the rod. The bone anchor also includes a locking cap (102) that has a main body (900) and a set screw (1000). Advantageously, in one embodiment the locking cap preferably is designed such that a single tool can be used to lock the locking cap in place on the anchor body preferably with a 90° turn and preferably then drive the set screw to clamp the rod. The locking cap also preferably non-threadingly engages the anchor body. The anchor body preferably has an inclined surface on its top surface which elastically deflects extending tabs on the main body to secure the locking cap to the anchor body. A method of implantation and assembly of the bone anchor are also described.

Abstract: Practice putting system using an upright-putting Sensitive Ring. Sensitive Ring design allows the system to indicate a strongly delivered putt with a rocking motion of the Sensitive Ring and its flag. Sensitive Ring receiving a hard hit putt will stand vertically and lay its flag on the floor surface. Sensitive Ring entrance allows for a smooth putt entry with no threshold or surface to putt over. Design of rear Sensitive Ring wall contains additional ring wall material providing additional weight high on the rear ring wall, this feature along with the flag, flag stick and flag stick top knob raise the rings center of gravity making the ring sensitive to the power used to deliver a putt. Sensitive Ring design provides a low tech solution that will allow a practicing golfer to develop a stroke with a sensitive delivery. Sensitive Rings are developed in groups of nine to provide a putting course opportunity for practice or as a game for all skill levels.

Abstract: A redundant reusable high volume cushion with refillable tandem tubes comprised of redundant cushion areas having two or four discrete areas comprised of redundant geometrically shaped chambers creating a high volume cushion. The redundant cushion areas facilitates absorption of impact upon the cushion by permitting redistribution of an inflation gas, e.g., air, from an area of impact to a non-impacted area within the same cushion. Entry/exit tandem tubes control the flow of inflation gas into and/or out of the cushion.

Abstract: A system and method for storing personal, medical, and insurance related information on a wireless device are disclosed. The information may be stored by sending it from a remote personal computer to a central database using the Internet. The information may be temporarily stored on the central database and password protected. The information is thereafter downloaded from the central database to the wireless device, where it is permanently stored. The information then may be deleted from the central database so that it is secured on the wireless device. All or portions of the information stored on the wireless device may be password protected as well. The information may be accessed on the wireless device (e.g. on a display) or sent from the wireless device to remote locations, such as a doctor's office or hospital.

Abstract: Disclosed is a method and solvent composition capable of removing iron oxide deposits from the surface of titanium components without substantially damaging the underlying titanium component. Iron oxide deposits may be removed from the surface of a titanium component by contacting the titanium component with the solvent composition of the invention. The solvent composition may then be removed from contact with the titanium component to obtain a recyclable solvent composition which is recycled into repeated contact with the titanium component. The solvent composition comprises an aqueous mixture of an organic acid and a hydrohalide acid.

Abstract: A methodology ensures the efficient management of large amounts of hierarchically organized information. The methodology encompasses the efficient copying and sharing of large amounts of hierarchically organized information through an unsharing operation. The efficient comparison of two or more hierarchies of items of files and directories is provided as well by adding the root directories of hierarchies to be compared to a difference list, merging and then eliminating appropriate items in the difference list, and finally expansively recursing upon items left in the difference list. The efficiency of virtually copied, hierarchically organized information is maintained by resharing appropriate items of the hierarchy when appropriate. Finally, the methodology allows a target version of a hierarchy to be automatically updated by default action with changes made in a source version of the hierarchy as a function of identifying the common ancestor revision of a particular item change.
