View Edit Delete	TOY-1	In certain embodiments, pressing a certain input button 410 may lock or freeze (temporarily) the current orientation angle value displayed on a display for review or use during a procedure. In one embodiment, a button 410 or switch 420 may be activated by a user shaking the surgical device 200, the shaking action may serve as user input data instructing the electronic circuit 400 to power on the electronic circuit 400. In one embodiment, one of the one or more switches 420 may be a zero-out switch configured to convey a zero-out signal. The zero-out signal may be communicated to a calibration circuit 340. The calibration circuit 340 may initiate a calibration feature in response to the zero-out signal. The calibration feature may include determining a reference axis for the electronic circuit 400.	112	Added by DJM 1 2022	1/19/22, 12:00 AM
View Edit Delete	TOY-1	The one or more arrow buttons 430 can be used to input a desired/target orientation. The electronic circuit 400 may store the desired/target orientation for comparison to measured orientation angles as a user operates the surgical device 200. For example, the input circuit 310 may include an up arrow indicating an increase in the degrees or tenths or hundredths of a degree that a user wants to set as the desired/target orientation. Similarly, the input circuit 310 may include a down arrow indicating a decrease in the degrees or tenths or hundredths of a degree that a user wants to set as the desired/target orientation. Of course either the up arrow or the down arrow may skip tens of degrees or tenths or hundredths based on how long a user presses and holds the respective arrow.	113	Added by DJM 1 2022	1/19/22, 12:00 AM
View Edit Delete	TOY-1	A keypad 440 may also be included and can be used for input data.

Alternatively, or in addition, the input circuit 310 may include a keyboard 450 and the user may use the keyboard 450 to enter a number representing a desired/target orientation. In certain embodiments, an electronic circuit 400 can be configured to store a desired/target orientation for a plurality of vertebrae and a label for the associated vertebrae.	114	Added by DJM 1 2022	1/19/22, 12:00 AM
View Edit Delete	TOY-1	The output circuit 320 may include one or more displays 460. One display 460 may show the current orientation angle of the surgical device 200. Another display 460 may show a desired/target orientation. Another display 460 may accept touch input and may therefore display graphical input devices, such as switches, buttons, arrows, and the like. The output circuit 320 may have one or more displays 460 and/or a single display 460 may show different information on different parts of the display 460. In certain embodiments, the display 460 include numbers, letters, or symbols and a level of contrast that facilitates quick and clear reading by a surgeon during a procedure.	115	Added by DJM 1 2022	1/19/22, 12:00 AM
View Edit Delete	TOY-1	The one or more speakers 470 can be used by the electronic circuit 400 to provide audible output data. The one or more speakers 470 may be used for a variety of audio feedback and/or output. For example, in one embodiment, the one or more speakers 470 may provide a distinctive beep or sound when an electronic circuit 400 has been zeroed out. Alternatively, or in addition, the one or more speakers 470 can be used to provide an audible sound or set of sounds or audio signals with distinctive changes in tone and/or frequency to indicate when a current orientation angle of the surgical device 200 gets closer to, further away from, and/or reaches a desired/target orientation.	116	Added by DJM 1 2022	1/19/22, 12:00 AM
View Edit Delete	TOY-1	The one or more lights 480 can be used by the electronic circuit 400 to provide visual output data. The one or more lights 480 may be used for a variety of visual feedback and/or output. For example, in one embodiment, the one or more lights 480 may illuminate, flash, or blink with or without a distinctive pattern to indicate when an electronic circuit 400 has been zeroed out. Alternatively, or in addition, the one or more lights 480 can be used to illuminate, flash, or blink with or without a distinctive pattern to indicate when a current orientation angle of the surgical device 200 gets closer to, further away from, and/or reaches a desired/target orientation.	117	Added by DJM 1 2022	1/19/22, 12:00 AM

View Edit Delete	TOY-1	As with the input circuit 310 and output circuit 320, those of skill in the art appreciate that the measurement circuit 330 and/or calibration circuit 340 can have different configurations in different embodiments. The measurement circuit 330 measures a change in orientation angle of a shaft 210 in relation to a reference axis. In certain embodiments, the measurement circuit 330 measures the orientation angle of the shaft 210 relative to the reference axis in response to input data from a user (e.g., pressing or activating a button or switch). Alternatively, or in addition, the measurement circuit 330 measures the orientation angle of the shaft 210 relative to the reference axis in real time (e.g., as a user tilts the shaft 210 toa desired orientation) and coordinates with the control circuit 350 to update the orientation angle communicated to a user (e.g., displayed on a display), almost instantaneously.	120	Added by DJM 1 2022	1/19/22, 12:00 AM
View Edit Delete	TOY-1	The measurement circuit 330 may include one or more sensors 510 and one or more transceivers 520. In one embodiment, the measurement circuit 330 uses signals from one or more sensors 510 to detect a change in orientation of a shaft 210. As the orientation of the shaft 210, the sensor 510 can detect this change and the measurement circuit 330 provides a measurement of the amount of change (in units of degrees) from the reference axis. In certain embodiments, the sensor 510 can be an accelerometer.	121	Added by DJM 1 2022	1/19/22, 12:00 AM
