Abstract: Improved techniques for controlling delivery (e.g., download) of application programs from a remote application repository to different client computing devices are disclosed. Application programs are often built to operate on computing devices that have certain hardware capabilities. Hence, application programs available for download from a remote application repository might not be suitable execution on all client computing devices that are able to access the remote application repository.

Abstract: An image signal processing device improving quality of three-dimensional image is provided. The device includes a determination section (42L, 42R), deinterlace sections (44L, 44R) and a synchronous control section (43). The determination section (42L, 42R) determines whether first and/or second input image signals (D1Li, D1Ri), having horizontal parallax therebetween, are interlaced signals derived from video signal or from pulldown-converted film signal. The deinterlace sections (44L, 44R) perform deinterlace on each of the first and second input image signals (D1Li, D1Ri), through interpolation for a video signal or pulldown reverse conversion for a film signal, and generate first and second output image signals (D2Lp, D2Rp) as progressive signals, having horizontal parallax therebetween. The synchronous control section (43) synchronously controls the deinterlace, based on result of the determination section (42L, 42R), such that deinterlace process onto the first and second input image signals (D1Li, D1Ri), synchronized with each other for each of fields, are of same type.

Abstract: Pedicle screws are designed to provide polyaxial coupling to pedicles of a vertebra. Intermediate pieces (80) are attached to the pedicles screws (140, 142, 148) and receive extender shafts (180A, 182A, 188A). Extenders (180A, 182A, 188A) are inserted in the intermediate pieces (80). The extenders (180A, 182A, 188A) project the anatomic points located in the cages (152) outside the patient's body to facilitate proper contouring of a rod. An alignment linkage (310) is used to ensure that the extenders (180A, 182A, 188A) are parallel to each other. The alignment linkage (310) includes a linkage frame (312), an articulating linkage (314) and a locking member (316). The articulating linkage (314) has all rotational degrees of freedom and thereby adapts to any varying trajectories of the extenders and distance between the extenders. The alignment linkage (310) includes a locking member (316) with a pop-up indicator. The pop-up indicator notifies the users when the locking member (316) is tightened with two of the extenders in non-parallel configuration.
