An expandable interbody spacer (10) is provided that includes a pair of oppositely facing endplate components (20, 40) and an interior component that includes one or more vertically extending stacks of arranged C-clip members (70) radially surrounding one or more bosses (30) protruding interiorly from one of the endplates, wherein the size and configuration of the bosses and the c-clip members are designed to allow the incremental expansion of expandable interbody spacer.

The present invention relates to a 3D landscape real-time imager. It also relates to methods for operating such an imager. Such an imager comprises: —at least one illuminating part which is designed to scan at least a portion of the landscape at a given range and having an ultra-short laser pulse source emitting at least one wavelength, and an optical rotating block, with a vertical axis of rotation, and controlled such that given packets of pulses are shaped in a pattern of rotating beams sent toward the said at least partial landscape; —at least one receiving part which comprises a set of SPAD detector arrays, each arranged along a vertical direction and rotating at a given speed in synchronism with the optical rotating block of the illuminating part, the detection data of the SPAD detector arrays being combined to acquire 3D imaging data of the said at least partial landscape in a central controller.

The cost of performing sophisticated software-based financial trend and pattern analysis is significantly reduced by distributing the processing power required to carry out the analysis and computational task across a large number of networked individual or cluster of computing nodes. To achieve this, the computational task is divided into a number of sub tasks. Each sub task is then executed on one of a number of processing devices to generate a multitude of solutions. The solutions are subsequently combined to generate a result for the computational task. The individuals controlling the processing devices are compensated for use of their associated processing devices. The algorithms are optionally enabled to evolve over time. Thereafter, one or more of the evolved algorithms is selected in accordance with a predefined condition.

Disclosed is a system, method, and program for joining a multi-column table and at least two satellite tables. Each satellite table is comprised of multiple rows and at least one join column and each multi-column table is comprised of multiple rows and join columns corresponding to the join columns in the satellite tables. A query including predicates is received. A join predicate column comprises the satellite table and multi-column table join column to which at least one query predicate applies. A determination is then made as to whether there is at least one index on the multi-column table including at least one column for one join predicate column. One index is selected. The ordering of the join predicate columns in the selected index is used to determine the join order of the satellite tables and the multi-column table. The satellite tables and multi-column tables are then joined in the determined join order.

The invention is directed to a piston or plunger (1) for a material delivery system (10) and a delivery system (10), such as a cartridge delivery system or syringe for storage and dispensing of a viscous or pasty material, in which the system includes a piston or plunger (1). The piston or plunger (1) is preferably provided for a unit dose dental capsule for the direct placement of a dental material, such as a light-curable tooth filling material, into a desired location.

A switching power supply device has a boost power converter which converts a wide range of AC input voltages into a DC voltage larger than an amplitude of the AC input voltage to supply to a DC-DC converter. The switching power supply device includes a load detection circuit, an input voltage detection circuit, and a power conversion controller for the boost power converter. The power conversion controller corrects the determination reference value in accordance with the AC input voltage detected in the input voltage detection circuit. When a light load is detected based on a comparison between the corrected determination reference value and the detection value output from the load detection circuit, the controller disables the boost power converter.

The invention discloses a method for realizing the interactive three-dimensional virtual city e-commerce platform based on a virtual reality technique, which provides a new way to vividly display three-dimensional shops and objects on the Internet, and provides users with a virtual reality which is characterized by three-dimensional virtual space and real-time interaction, and can multilaterally display commodities, fully show the characteristics and stereo feeling of the commodities, allow the users to look up various characteristics of the goods in detail, and provide great observation space and freedom for the users. The technical scheme of the invention comprises that: the method comprises the following steps: automatically processing a 360-degree image of the articles so as to generate vivid article three-dimensionally displayed files, constructing virtual city buildings and three-dimensional shops by software such as 3DSMax, AutoCAD, Photoshop and the like, and realizing a virtual shopping platform which can be browsed and interacted by the users by Java and flash RIA (Rich Internet application) technology; and adopting Flash 3D technology and virtual reality technology to embed the article three-dimensional displayed file into the three-dimensional shops and embed the files into the virtual city web pages. The invention is applied in the field of electronic commerce technology, and also belongs to the category of virtual reality technology.
