Patent number: 9201947Abstract: Methods and systems for media file management are provided. When a plurality of media files in the electronic device are viewed, media data is real-time generated for the media files. In the generation of the media data, the media files are analyzed to obtain a theme for the media files. Then, a script file is identified according to the theme, and media data is produced for the media files according to the script file. In some embodiments, a frame buffer used for storing the media data is refreshed after each frame of the media data is rendered.Type: GrantFiled: March 18, 2013Date of Patent: December 1, 2015Assignee: HTC CORPORATIONInventors: Chia-Fu Wu, Jenn-Wein Wu, Wen-Chien Liu, Jing-Lung Wu, Hsin-Ti Chueh, Ping-Yao Liao, David Folchi, Casaundra Meyers, Symon J. Whitehorn, Dennis Todd Harrington, Jorge Taketoshi Furuya Mariche, John Paul Stallard

Patent number: 9186189Abstract: An implant has a bone plate with a bone contacting surface and an opposite outwardly facing surface. The plate includes a split-ring receiving recess open to the outwardly facing surface located intermediate first and second bone screw receiving openings in the plate. The first and second bone screw receiving openings each having a slot spaced from the outwardly facing surface towards the bone contacting surface. The slot is formed in a wall of the first and second bone screw receiving openings. The slot is open to the split ring receiving recess. A resilient split-ring has a thickness less than a height of the slots in the first and second bone screw openings when measured along the bone screw receiving opening axis.Type: GrantFiled: May 8, 2014Date of Patent: November 17, 2015Assignee: Stryker SpineInventors: Christopher M. Campbell, Todd Harrington

Patent number: 8734496Abstract: A spinal implant has a bone plate with a bone contacting surface and an opposite upwardly facing surface and at least one opening with a groove formed around an inner circumference of the opening. The groove has an axially spaced upper and lower surface. A bone-anchor or bone screw is capable of being accommodated in the opening between the groove and the bone contacting surface. A split-ring is mounted in the groove. The split-ring is sized to expand upon insertion of the anchor element into the opening and to come into direct contact with a head of the bone anchor to hold the bone anchor in the opening. The split-ring has an upper surface and a lower surface for respectively engaging the upper and lower surface of said groove, wherein the split-ring has a variable width so as to optimize its flexibility.Type: GrantFiled: September 20, 2012Date of Patent: May 27, 2014Assignee: Stryker SpineInventors: Christopher M.

Patent number: 7648529Abstract: A corpectomy device has an inner member telescopingly disposed in an outer member so that the inner member is movable in an axial direction. The inner and outer members are hollow, defining a chamber, and include apertures in communication with the chamber. A locking clip engages the inner and outer members to fix the position of the inner member with respect to the outer member. The longitudinal dimension of the device is adjustable by distracting the inner member so that the inner member extends from the outer member and moving the locking clip from an unlocked position to a locked position.Type: GrantFiled: December 13, 2004Date of Patent: January 19, 2010Assignee: Stryker SpineInventors: Howard An, Yves Crozet, Todd Harrington
