A method, system and apparatus for augmenting the surgical repair of soft tissue injuries, in which a first end of a bridge member attaches to a first portion of healthy tissue, and a second end of the bridge member attaches to a second portion of healthy tissue. The bridge member (or bridge members) used to augment the soft tissue repair may be interconnected or function independently. Flexibility and elasticity of the bridge member are determined by the situation and may be altered to improve healing. The device may be used in arthroscopic procedures, and may be manufactured in a variety of lengths, or may be manufactured one length and be cut to the desired length, or otherwise altered to provide an optimal length of the bridge member.

The present invention proposes methodologies, a system and a secure spontaneous collaboration framework along with a suitable application and services suite for enabling new paradigm of social networking among users of handheld devices by bridging gab between infra-structure-based networks and mobile ad hoc networks. While supporting three different operating modes for the spontaneous collaboration that suits the user preference and network conditions, the proposed solutions hide the complexity of finding the right peer/device for spontaneous collaboration, self-organising the network to be formed on-demand, mitigating the security threat, being aware of user mobility for service continuity across wide variety of networks. Binding a given user to user's handheld device and specifying the number of applications/services enabling spontaneous collaborations that a given user is interested in are possible through user-profile creations. By taking a holistic view, the proposed solutions enable very practical, scalable, secure and economical spontaneous collaborations.

A system and method to ensure that a remote computer making a VPN connection complies with network security policies. Server-driven security checks may be configured to verify compliance with each access level before access is granted at that level. The security checks may be selected based at least according to the information received from the remote computer. After the server determines that the remote computer complies with the security policy for the requested access level, the server may pass a token to the remote computer, or may grant VPN access to the remote computer. If the remote computer does not comply with the security policy associated with the requested access level but is in compliance with a security policy corresponding to a lower access level, the server may grant the remote computer access to the lower access level.

A self-sealing male Luer connector for connection with a female Luer connector.

A vial access transfer set for use with a bottle containing a medicinal fluid that provides a mechanism for securely attaching an administration set to the bottle and also provides a universal spike port to which any primary IV line can be readily attached. The vial access transfer set includes a novel, vented vial access adapter to which a length of tubing can be connected, the adapter comprising a top wall, a cannula connected to the top wall and a uniquely configured, resiliently deformable slitted skirt connected to the top wall and extending therefrom. With this construction, during the interconnection of the vial access transfer set with the bottle, the rubber septum of the bottle can readily be pierced by the cannula and the resiliently deformable skirt positively snapped into place over the neck portion of the drug vial or bottle to maintain the adapter in secure connection with the bottle. The apparatus is easy to use and positively prevents the accidental separation of the length of tubing carrying the medicinal fluid from the bottle.

A power assisted liposuction/lipoinjection handpiece includes a handle (12) which provides power to reciprocate a cannula (10) back and forth during surgery The cannula (10) can be connected to the handle (12) by a connector (24) that is affixed to, integrally formed with, or selectively joinable to a reciprocating member (14). Benefits in sterilization, distribution and surgical use can be realized when the cannula (10) and connector (24) are joined together, such that the surgeon merely needs to remove the cannula (10) from the package and connect it to a reciprocating member of a powered handle (12). The handle (12) may be configured such that the reciprocating member (14) is selectively detachable; thereby, allowing the handle (12) to be used for additional surgical procedures such as sawing or drilling. A vacuum hose (26) is connected to the cannula (10) such that vacuum pressure can be exerted through the cannula (10) for aspirating severed fat tissue. Preferably, the connector (24) radially offsets the cannula (10) from the reciprocating member (14) to a position which is axially in alignment with the vacuum hose (26); thereby avoiding bend regions and enhancing suction.
