Abstract: The present disclosure relates to conveyorized systems for processing a plurality of mobile telecommunication devices simultaneously. The present disclosure also relates to methods of processing a plurality of mobile telecommunication devices.

Abstract: Method and apparatus are disclosed for distracting tissue and particularly spinal tissue. The device and method may include insertion of at least one elongated member and an augmenting member to form a structure between the tissues to be distraction, such that a dimensional aspect of the structure is augmented upon movement of the augmenting structure.

Abstract: A method and system for providing a driving condition alert to vehicle drivers and others are disclosed. The alert is provided based on road location and attribute data; real-time, historic, and forecast traffic data; real-time, historic, and forecast weather data; and/or scheduled and unscheduled event data. The alert may include information indicating the reason for the alert provided. In addition, the alert may include a relative scale of hazard (e.g., a scale of 1-10 with 1 representing no hazard and 10 representing the highest hazardous condition). As a result of receiving the alert, the driver may adjust their route or driving behavior.

Abstract: Methods and apparatus are disclosed for distracting tissue. The devices and methods may include insertion of first and second elongated members into the space between two tissue layers, with an augmenting elongated member inserted therebetween to form a distraction device between the tissues to be distracted. The distraction device defines a generally annular configuration, with a locking member secured to one of the elongated members at a plurality of locations to maintain the distraction device in the generally annular configuration. The augmenting elongated member may be shorter than the first and second elongated members such that a window is defined between the proximal and distal ends of the augmenting elongated member when the distraction device and the first and second elongated members are in the generally annular configuration. Bone graft material or bone filler may be introduced into the interior of the distraction device through the window.

Abstract: Methods and systems for prognostic analysis in electromechanical and environmental control equipment in building management systems are described. In performing the prognostic analysis, the prognostics system acquires leading indicator input data representing the monitored signals associated with the target equipment and determine a prognostics model corresponding to the target equipment. The prognostics system applies the prognostics model to the leading indicator input data to determine a condition of the target equipment. The condition includes a current condition and/or a future condition of the target equipment. The prognostics system also outputs the condition of the target equipment to a database for accessing by a remote device or operator.
