Abstract: A spinal interbody device (IBD) includes a solid wall that at least partially defines a boundary of the IBD and a porous body connected to the solid wall. The porous body includes a plurality of sections that form at least a portion of both a superior and inferior bone interface side of the IBD. Each section of the porous body has a different porosity than an adjacent section such that the porosities increase toward a center of the IBD.

Abstract: In some implementations, a system may receive a first credential associated with a first account and a second credential associated with a second account and may instruct a cloud service, using the first credential, to generate a first snapshot of structured source data associated with the first account. The system may authorize the first account and the second account to use a master encryption key and instruct the cloud service to encrypt the first snapshot using the master encryption key. The system may instruct the cloud service, using the second credential, to copy the first snapshot to a second snapshot associated with the second account and to decrypt the second snapshot into structured target data using the master encryption key. The system may deauthorize the first account and the second account from using the master encryption key and output an indicator of completion to a user device.

Abstract: Rolling action reclosable fastener comprises a male track including a male profile, a female track including a female profile, and a slider disposed on the male and female tracks to matingly engage the male profile and the female profile. The slider includes a back and a pair of sidewall depending therefrom. The slider also includes a separator finger depending from the back between the pair of sidewalls and shaped along its length to first press together a bottom of the male and female profiles and then roll the profiles closed toward a top thereof as the slider moves toward the closed condition. The male profile comprises a base and a rib with a hook portion having an inwardly-directed surface including a projection defining an engagement surface. The female profile comprises a base and a first flange having an inwardly-directed surface including a projection defining an engaging surface.

Abstract: A slider is adapted for use with a reclosable fastener for bags containing material. The reclosable fastener includes a first track and a second track. The first track includes a first profile, while the second track includes a second profile. The first and second profiles are releasably engageable to each other. At least one of the first and second profiles has an interior portion. The slider comprises a body that includes a top, a first side, a second side and a separation member on an underside of the top. The separation member is adapted to open and close the fastener and includes a slider finger that extends generally downwardly from the top. The slider finger extends into an interior portion of the first profile so as to assist in removing material trapped in the interior portion of the first profile when closing the reclosable fastener.

Abstract: Packages with active agents are described. Generally, the disclosed packages have a pair of opposing body panels joined together along a pair of opposing sides and a bottom bridging the sides so as to define a mouth opposite the bottom, a reclosable fastener extending along the mouth, and an active agent. The reclosable fastener includes a pair of polymeric tracks, in which each of the tracks includes a mating element and a fin portion. The mating elements are releasably engageable to each other, and each of the fin portions extends downwards from the respective mating element towards the bottom of the reclosable package. The active agent is associated with at least one of the fin portions for communication with the interior of the reclosable package.

Abstract: A bag or liner adapted to collect items comprises first and second thermoplastic body panels, and at least one polymeric structure. The first and second body panels are joined along a pair of opposing sides and a bottom bridging the sides so as to form an open mouth. The joined first and second body panels form an interior space for collecting items. The at least one structure is a patch, tape or pouch. The at least one structure comprises a first layer being a barrier layer and including an odor-masking and/or neutralizing agent. The first layer is attached to the bag or liner via an adhesive, a heat seal or other attaching method such that the odor-masking and/or neutralizing agent is in communication with the interior space.
