Systems and method in accordance with the embodiments of the present invention can include an implant for positioning within a cervical facet joint for distracting the cervical spine, thereby increasing the area of the canals and openings through which the spinal cord and nerves must pass, and decreasing pressure on the spinal cord andor nerve roots. The present invention further relates to a method for transporting water containing a disinfectant comprising the step of conveying the water through a pipe comprising a polyolefin composition, the polyolefin composition comprising an acid scavenger. The plurality of core members are disposed in spaced relationship to one another. The first and second surfaces are spaced apart from each other when the first and second electrodes are in an open position, and the first and second electrodes remain spaced from one another when the first and second electrodes are moved to the closed position. The read bit line is configured to transmit data of the memory element.
