Abstract: In one aspect, the present disclosure implements a method that determines whether a submitted image satisfies a geographic constraint which includes defining a rule that establishes a geographic restriction on the submitted image, accessing a geo-code associated with the submitted image, determining whether the geo-code indicates that the submitted image was taken at a location that violates the geographic restriction defined in the rule, and if a determination is made that the submitted image was taken at a location that violates the geographic restriction defined in the rule, eliminating the submitted image from being considered a valid entry in the contest.

Abstract: Forceps include a first and a second blade, both of which have an inner surface, an outer surface, a tip end, and a proximal end. The forceps also include a blade adjustment joint disposed adjacent to the proximal ends of the first and the second blades and both blades are rotateably connected to the blade adjustment joint. The blade adjustment joint selectively allows the first and second blades to rotate independently of each other or prevents both blades from rotating independently of each other. The blade adjustment joint permits the first blade to rotate or pivot in relation to the second blade and visa versa, so the tips of the forceps can be realigned simply and easily. Additionally, the blade adjustment joint in one condition prevents the first blade and second blade from rotating, locking the blades in position for use.

Abstract: A monitoring system includes a lead having a terminal covered by a removable sheath. In one embodiment, the lead has a first end coupled to an implantable electrode and a second end which includes a terminal for coupling to a mating terminal. The sheath prevents bodily fluids from contacting the terminal as the lead is tunneled under a patient's scalp. After the terminal exits the scalp, the sheath is removed from the terminal to allow its connection to the mating terminal.
