  • Publication number: 20240074868
    Abstract: An example method is provided for maintaining stability to an injury defined by a separation of two bones (e.g., the tibia and fibula), the separation being an injured distance greater than a pre-injury distance between the two bones in a first human patient. The method may include delivering a first apparatus for approximation of the two bones in the first human patient comprising the injury, the first apparatus including a flexible segment disposed between a first anchor and a second anchor. The method may further include maintaining, by the first apparatus, a restored distance between the two bones in the first human patient after a repetitive dynamic loading, the restored distance approximately equal to the pre-injury distance.

  • Patent number: 10296972
    Abstract: The disclosed embodiments include methods and systems for providing account status notifications. The disclosed embodiments include, for example, a device for providing account status notifications including a memory storing software instructions and one or more processors configured to execute the software instructions to perform operations.

  • Publication number: 20070237493
    Abstract: Providing user access to digital content data involves maintaining a database having contents including plural records, each associated with a channel. Each record relates to a different item of digital content, and includes: a displayable icon; a record date; a channel identifier, and a resource locator. A current view is automatically selected by: detecting a time range in which records are required to be grouped; on the basis of that, selecting at least two adjacent time periods as display time periods, selecting as display channels at least two channels; and combining the display time periods and the display channels to provide a current view matrix. The database contents are presented by: displaying the current view matrix with plural cells; using the record date and the channel record to determine whether the record forms part of the current view matrix; and for each record that forms part of the current view matrix, displaying the displayable icon for the record in the appropriate cell.
