Abstract: Implantable devices useful for creating bony fusion particularly in intervertebral spinal fusion. The device is formed of bone and has an at least partially demineralized portion between two rigid bone portions creating an area of flexibility. In one application, the area of flexibility may be used to move the device between a reduced size insertion configuration and an expanded implanted configuration. In another use, the area of flexibility may be useful to dampen shock applied to the implant. A method is also disclosed for making the implants and inserting the implants into an intervertebral disc space to promote interbody fusion.

Abstract: The Internet printing system for a client perform printing out to a print server that cannot circumvent a firewall by the Internet Printing Protocol (IPP). For a print server which cannot circumvent the firewall by IPP, a proxy unit which can communicate using IPP is installed on the Internet. A server site of the print server is opened on the proxy unit, and an IPP client regards the print server as a public IPP server opened on the Internet, and exchanges printing service requests and responses via the proxy unit. Since the proxy unit performs gateway conversion from IPP into another protocol, the client can print out to the print server circumventing the firewall by using IPP.

Abstract: A method of cutting opposing holes in a side wall of a tubular workpiece and removing the cut out slugs, in which first and second axially aligned punches are applied to opposite side walls of a pressurized workpiece. The second punch has a larger width than the first punch, and reciprocates in a passageway extending laterally from the workpiece. The punches are reciprocated so that the first punch passes through both side walls, and first and second slugs are cut out. The end of the first punch is advanced toward the end of the second punch to capture the cut out slugs between the ends of the first and second punches, and the punches are moved so that the ends of the punches and the slugs captured between them progress along the passageway away from the workpiece. The ends of the punches are separated at a region of the passageway spaced from the workpiece, and the released slugs are removed from the ends of the punches.
