A suture anchor has a tubular body having an axial bore therethrough with one or more purchase enhancements on an exterior surface of the body adapted to enhance purchase of the body within a bone hole. These are preferably screw threads. A distal nose of the suture body has a smooth exterior surface. A length of suture passes down along the exterior surface over the purchase enhancements, over the distal nose, and up into the bore. The smooth exterior surface of the distal nose allows tension of the suture to be held by the engagement of the nose within the bone hole thus making it easier to obtain proper tension as the remaining portion is engaged into the bone hole to provide final fixation.

There is provided a keypad assembly operating a dome switch of a mobile phone. The keypad assembly includes a keypad disposed on the dome switch and having a plurality of bosses protruded from a position corresponding to the movable contacts, and a plurality of metal keys each disposed on the keypad at a position corresponding to each boss and protruding from a surface of the housing at a desired height, each of the metal keys formed with a numeral and/or character display penetrating through an upper surface thereof. Since the metal key is made of metal, it represents a metal feeling, in addition to various colors. Also, since the metal key is slimmed, it minimizes a thickness of the mobile phone. In addition, a process for forming the keypad is minimized thereby to reduce additional cost.

A system and method for delivering an electronic video game allows a consumer to purchase the game in sequential portions. The video game is broken down into incremental portions that are each individually available for sale. A consumer purchases a first portion of the video game that contains the first level, or set of levels, of the game. When the first portion is completed by the consumer, the consumer can then buy the next sequential portion for an additional incremental sum of money. The incremental portions may contain one or more levels. Similarly, the initial purchase vehicle may contain the entire game and a consumer purchases key codes to access subsequent portions of the game.

Disclosed is a liquid pitcher that is specifically designed to be stackable. The present invention comprises a beverage pitcher for storing liquid with an internal handle and optionally with a pouring spout. The internal handle is a handle that is housed within the body of the liquid pitcher rather than protruding from the body of the liquid pitcher. The internal handle allows the pitcher to support the base of a subsequent pitcher placed within the first pitcher interior. The handle does not protrude from the body of the liquid pitcher and does not sacrifice any structural integrity because it has two points of attachment, which is an upgrade over currently available stackable liquid pitchers, whose handles largely only have a single point of attachment.

The utensils are packaged in sets and distributed as packs of disposable travel utensils, where further a travel pack is provided for storing a plurality of utensils during an outing and thereafter disposing of the utensils once in contact with food items and a child's mouth. The goal is to eliminate the need for parents to travel with permanent utensils, which become messy and are not easily stored after use.

A bit for removing a broken fastener comprises a tip from which extend two or more notches separated by traction or biting surfaces formed from two-sided frusto-conically-shaped regions. The surfaces are bounded on one side by a nonlinear cutting edge and on the other side by a non-cutting edge and are configured to cut into the fastener when the bit is rotated in a direction opposite to the fastener's direction of engagement. Specific embodiments include configurations where the cutting edges extend at different angles with respect to the bit axis, where the biting surfaces comprise a plurality of serrations, and where the cutting edges are separated by flutes which spiral along a longitudinally extending periphery of the bit.

Disclosed is a book sharing system based on the Internet of things and crowd funding. The book sharing system based on the Internet of things and crowd funding comprises a user book purchase system, a book printing system, a service platform system, and an offline book stack room system. A book sharing method includes the following steps: users issue book purchase requests to the platform; books are each printed with a two-dimensional code at the spine while being published or published but not sold books are each printed with a two-dimensional code at the spine, wherein the two-dimensional code includes book information, user information and platform information; and users put books into use, borrow books and return books. The problem that it is difficult to share books is solved. Books are purchased by users, and users are authenticated in the purchase link, which provides a necessary condition for later price-based circulation of books. The 'property' of books is transferred to book purchase users, and users decide whether to 'share' books to gain profits. On one hand, the platform investment is reduced. On the other hand, the development of 'sharing' is promoted.

A dry storage systems for radioactive nuclear waste materials may include a double-walled canister system. The canister system may include a canister having a tubular inner shell defining an internal cavity for storing nuclear waste material, a first lid sealably welded to a first end of the inner shell, a primary base plate defining a peripheral edge portion and having an annular closure flange, and an annular full thickness butt weld formed at an abutment joint between the annular closure flange and a second end of the inner shell. The inner shell, first lid, and first end closure may collectively define a sealed primary pressure retention barrier. A tubular outer shell may adjoin the inner shell. The outer shell may be welded to the canister to form a hermetically sealed secondary pressure retention barrier.
