Abstract: The present disclosure provides a fastener that has a body that has an axis. The body comprises a head portion and at least one body portion projecting from the head portion. The at least one body portion has an actuating surface portion and is arranged such that at least a part of the at least one body portion is urged away from the axis when an actuating member is received along the axis and urges against the actuating surface portion. The at least one body portion has a substantially flat surface portion facing away from the axis.

Abstract: A method and system enables language translation and routing of Person-to-Person (P2P) messages. Customer messages are diverted to various alternate destinations in an enterprise based on the language of the messages. Enterprise alternate destinations include language capable call center customer service representatives (CSRs), language specialized call centers, and personnel in various departments in an enterprise having language skills. The CSRs and other personnel can communicate through the call centers or using data enabled devices. Information collected from the messages can be used to determine the appropriate destination.

Abstract: An orthopaedic stabilisation device is described. The orthopaedic stabilisation device comprises a stabilisation member and at least two legs coupled to the stabilisation member. Each leg is arranged for positioning in a respective bore hole in bone, and for receiving an element within the leg such that the element can facilitate fastening the leg within the bore hole in bone. The stabilisation member may be arranged such that a length of the stabilisation member is alterable by a predefined amount, the predefined amount being adjustable.

Abstract: Some embodiments of the present invention overcome I/O bottlenecks of an EDA work flow by keeping layout data distributed during handoffs among different processing stages. Specifically, some embodiments leverage a concurrent computation paradigm where data is propagated incrementally between stages, and where data processing among consecutive stages and the I/O between stages are executed concurrently. Specifically, different data processing stages can partition the layout data differently, and portions of the layout data that are not required by a data processing stage can be either passed-through or passed-around the data processing stage.

Specifically, some embodiments can generate a template database which contains the unique templates in a set of templates. During operation, an embodiment can determine a set of templates for a layout. Next, the system can determine a processing schedule based on a spatially coherent ordering of the set of templates. Next, the system can process the templates according to the spatially coherent processing schedule.
