| Counsel: | Firm: XSENSUS LLP |
| 1st Invent: | Jose S. Rivera, Jr. (Naples, FL) |
| Inventors: | Genders: F=0, M=1 |
| Abstract: 2000 char max | Disclosed is a tool set and an associated method for removing a prosthetic implant. Although the tools in the tool set can be used to remove a variety of different prosthetic implants, it finds particular application in the removal of femoral implants. In one embodiment, both lateral and medial tools are utilized. The lateral tool includes a generally arcuate shape with upstanding sidewalls that define an arcuate interior. The lateral tool is thus dimensioned to follow the contour of the lateral side of a femoral implant. The medial tool includes opposing side walls that define an interior opening. The opening is sized to receive the neck of the femoral implant, thereby allowing the tool to closely follow the medial bone/implant interface. In another embodiment, a J-shaped tool and an L-shaped tool are utilized to cut below an undercut of an femoral implant. The tools in the tool set can work together or individually. |

| 1st Invent: | Daniel Michael Cafiero (Estero, FL) |
| Inventors: | Genders: F=0, M=3 |
| Abstract: 2000 char max | Shoppers install a software app on a mobile device and create a user profile. The shopper scans a fingerprint using a fingerprint sensor. Scanned fingerprint data is wirelessly transmitted to the shopper''s mobile device for re-transmission over the Internet for storage in a secured server. The shopper can add payment methods (credit cards, debit cards, etc.) to the user''s profile. Participating merchants registered with the payment system provide a fingerprint sensor at the point of sale. A shopper transacts purchases at a merchant''s location by placing a finger on the fingerprint sensor. Scanned fingerprint data is transmitted over the Internet to confirm the identity of the shopper, and to complete the transaction. A shopper makes purchases online using the installed software app. Participating merchants integrate APIs with existing e-commerce platforms, allowing merchants to charge and/or request access to user payment accounts. |
