Abstract: A headband assembly, having a preferred orientation relative to a wearer's head, and including a closed form headband adapted to encircle a human head horizontally, thereby defining an inner surface and wherein at least one hard portion of the headband is hard relative to another portion of the headband. Also, a resiliently deformable wingset is supported by the headstrap subassembly on the inner surface, about the hard portion and includes a central part and two wings, each wing extending laterally outwardly from the central part, each wing extending forward as it extends laterally from the central part and having a wing end. A wingset holder, engaged to both the wing ends, so that at least a portion of the holder is suspended between the wing ends, thereby holding a wearer's head away from the hard portion when in use.

Abstract: A method of attaching target tissue to a pilot hole in a bone that utilizes a suture assembly having an anchor sleeve; a sliding suture, having a first end and a second end, and passing through the anchor sleeve; and a shuttle having a shuttle loop and a free end, opposed to the shuttle loop, and passing through the anchor sleeve, with the free end and the shuttle outside of the anchor sleeve. In the method, the sliding suture is passed about the target tissue and the first end is engaged to the shuttle loop. Then, the anchor sleeve is pushed into the pilot hole, and the free end is pulled to pull the shuttle into the anchor sleeve in the pilot hole, thereby setting the anchor sleeve into the pilot hole.

An acoustic metamaterial device for using with a sound source includes a plurality of fins, where each fin is made from a very dense material with respect to air which creates the anisotropic properties of the acoustic metamaterial device, where each fin has a length dimension, a width dimension, and a thickness dimension, the width and length dimension being equal and substantially perpendicular to the direction of sound wave propagation from the sound source, where each fin is sized different from other fins along the width and length dimension, and where the plurality of fins are interconnected such that planes formed by the width and length dimension of each fin faces perpendicular to the sound wave propagation direction from the sound source.

Abstract: A method at a computing device for finding an association between data objects in a structure, the method including selecting a coordinate location from a grid, the grid defining locations within the structure; finding whether a data object having a data object type is located at the coordinate location; when the data object is located at the coordinate location, associating the data object with other data objects at the coordinate location; and when the data object is not located at the coordinate location: determining through an explicit association that the data object at a second location services the first location; and associating the data object with the coordinate location.

Abstract: A suture and button construct, having an oblong button defining at least a first aperture and a second aperture; a suture length, including a braid defining a lumen and having a middle section and two end sections, each extending through a button aperture and both terminating in an end. Both ends have a needle attached. Also, two shuttles are engaged to the suture length, each having a free end and a loop end, terminating in a loop. Each shuttle enters the lumen in the middle section and extend through an aperture, while in the lumen and exit on the opposite button side from the middle section, so that both shuttle loops are available outside the lumen, to pull a suture end through the lumen and a button aperture.

Abstract: A high-efficiency lamp, emitting light from a front surface, and having a high-efficiency light source, producing a first light beam. An iris assembly has an annular body that defines a first annulus and has iris blades which can be extended into the annulus to form a second, smaller, annulus. This iris assembly is positioned relative to the light source so that the iris blades are in front of the high-efficiency light source. The annular body and therefore the first annulus have finite depth from back to front. A light guide is placed immediately behind the iris blades and defines a channel that is open at its back and its front and has a reflective interior surface, with the open back being transversely coincident to the light source so that light from the light source can travel through the channel to and out from the open front.

Abstract: A medical headlamp headband assembly, having a preferred orientation relative to a wearer's head, and comprising a closed form headband, adapted to encircle a human head horizontally, thereby defining a head-facing side and having a tightness adjustment feature in a rear central location relative to a wearer's head when the headband assembly is worn in its preferred orientation. A tightness adjustment subassembly, at a central rear location, is opposed to the front location. A resiliently deformable wing-set is supported by the headstrap subassembly on the head-facing side, about the tightness adjustment subassembly and including a central part and two wings, each extending laterally outwardly from the central part. Each wing extends forward as it extends laterally from the central part, to contact the wearer's head at a rear side location, thereby holding the tightness adjustment assembly back from the wearer's head.

Abstract: Systems, methods, and software can be used to generate unified data on an electronic device. In some aspects, a request for unified data is received at a unified content provider and from an application. Both the unified content provider and the application are associated with a first container on an electronic device. The requested unified data is determined to include data associated with a second container on the electronic device. A request for the data associated with the second container is sent. The data associated with the second container is received. The unified data is generated based on the data associated with the second container and data associated with the first container. The generated unified data is sent to the application.
