An adjustable spinal fixation system is composed of a collection of anchoring assemblies attached, via a variety of connectors, to spine-stabilizing rods. The anchoring assemblies include a linking member attached in a ball-and-socket fashion to a bone-engaging member that is adapted to engage a spinal bone of a patient. The linking member joins one of the included connectors to an associated bone-engaging member. The connectors are selectively attached to one of the stabilizing rods. The anchoring assemblies each include a support collar and a split retention ring that cooperate to allow adjustment of the bone-engaging member and corresponding connector during surgery. When surgery is complete, a linear engaging fastener cooperates with the support collar and split retention ring to maintain the relative position of the entire fixation system, preventing unwanted movement between the system components.

A modular clip applier includes a cartridge containing multiple surgical clips, and a handle assembly for operating the cartridge to crimp one of the clips onto body tissue of a patient. The handle assembly has a scissors configuration with a bayonet coupling, and flange pairs widely separated to provide a high degree of stability. The bayonet coupling enables the handles of the assembly to be fully separated for cleaning. Snap fittings between the cartridge and handle assembly are provided at the fulcrum and also at a spaced location where an operating pin of the cartridge engages intersecting slots in the flanges. Overdrive protection of three different types is contemplated along with a structure facilitating operation of the handle assembly by palming a pair of handle bars.

A television mounting system includes a wall plate, at least one monitor arm mountable on the wall plate, and a locking element permanently connected with the wall plate and being movable between an unlocked position for enabling dismounting of the at least one monitor arm from the wall plate and a locked position for preventing dismounting of the at least one monitor arm from the wall plate. The locking element may be pivotally attached to the wall plate for pivoting between the unlocked and locked positions. The at least one monitor arm cannot be removed from the wall plate when the locking element is in the locked position.

A system for preventing accurate disassembly of computer code. Such code masking, referred to as “obfuscation,” is useful to prevent unwanted parties from making copies of an original author's software, obtaining valuable information from the software for purposes of breaking into a program, stealing secrets, making derivative works, etc. The present invention uses assembly-language instructions so as to confuse the disassembler to produce results that are not an accurate representation of the original assembly code. In one embodiment, a method is provided where an interrupt, or software exception instruction, is used to mask several subsequent instructions. The instruction used can be any instruction that causes the disassembler to assume that one or more subsequent words, or bytes, are associated with the instruction. The method, instead, jumps directly to the bytes assumed associated with the instruction and executes those bytes for a different purpose. A preferred embodiment works with a popular Microsoft “ASM” assembler language and “DASM” disassembler. The instructions used to achieve the obfuscation include “INT” instructions. Using this approach up to 17 bytes of obfuscation can be achieved with five instructions. Each instruction remains obfuscated until executed and returns to an obfuscated state afterwards.

A floorboard assembly comprises first and second solid wood floor boards (10) and (12). The first floor board (10) has a tongue (14) extending longitudinally along a first side thereof. The second floor board (12) having a groove (16) extending longitudinally along a second side thereof. The groove (16) has a width defined between a top lip (22) and a bottom lip (24). The tongue (14) is insertable in a tight fit manner in the groove (16) to prevent translational separation of the boards (10, 12) in a common plane thereof. A clearance (26, 26′, 28, 32, 32′, 32″, 36 and 38) is provided between the tongue (14) and the groove (16) at one of a tip portion of the tongue (14) and an outermost portion of the top and bottom lips (22, 24) of the groove (16). The clearance (26, 26′, 28, 32, 32′, 32″, 36 and 38) is configured to allow angular withdrawal of the tongue (14) from the groove (16) by manually pivoting the first and second floor boards (10, 12) towards one another in one of an upward and a downward direction.

The invention discloses a method for overall recyling treatment of a scraped car. The method comprises the following steps of: step 1: pretreating the scraped car, namely conveying the scraped car to a washing station to wash the whole car, conveying the washed car to an oil discharging station to pump off waste oil and waste liquid in the car, recycling the waste oil and the waste liquid in the car according to different types, and then moving the scraped car to a fully closed environment to ignite a safety air bag; step 2: disassembling the scraped car: demounting parts which can be used for remanufacturing from the whole car, and placing the demounted parts according to types; and step 3: performing crushing and sorting: conveying a disassembled car body and parts which cannot be used for remanufacturing to a crushing station to obtain crushed materials, conveying the crushed materials to a sorting station, sorting out iron through magnetic separation, sorting out crushed materials of different grain diameters through rotary screens, separately conveying the crushed materials of different grain diameters, sorting out light materials through air sorting, sorting out non-ferrous metal from residual crushed materials through eddy current, and finally sorting out stainless steel through inductive separation. Through the adoption of the method and the device disclosed by the invention, the maximum recycling of various metal and plastic resources in the scraped car is realized.
