Abstract: A remotely deployed, inflatable device designed to reduce or eliminate falls in senior living and assisted care facilities. Upon detecting undesired movement, nurses may deploy one or more inflatable cylinders, thereby inflating the device under one or both sides of the mattress, creating a barrier that prevents the resident from exiting the bed until on-site assistance arrives. It is envisioned that initially the operation of the device will rely on the remote monitoring of residents by one or more operators via live camera feeds. In more advanced versions it is envisioned that software and artificial intelligence will be able to use one or more camera feeds and will be able to supplement or even replace the need for a person to monitor any camera feeds.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a recycling process for a laminate and a solution used in such a process. The present invention finds particular application in the removal of an adhered overlay from an underlying substrate material such as plastic. The process includes subjecting the laminate to an impact frictional striking force, thereby substantially separating the substrate layer from the one or more surface layers of the overlay and then washing the substrate layer with a washing solution to remove the remaining surface layers of the overlay and glue from the substrate layer. The washing solution may be an aqueous solution including a surfactant, a solvent and a base.

Abstract: Disclosed herein are compositions, methods and kits useful for epigenetic analysis based on the use of transposons that are targeted to specific regions of chromatin based on DNA-DNA interactions, protein-protein interactions, RNA-RNA interactions, and nucleic acid-protein interactions.

Abstract: In one embodiment, an apparatus includes a first seal and a perforated cover. The first seal may comprise one or more inlet apertures and be located proximate to an opening into an interior of a nacelle. The perforated cover may be slidably engaged with the first seal and configured to vary an amount of air allowed into the interior of the nacelle.

Abstract: A method and system for tracking electronic communications between a customer phone and a user mobile device for compliance with regulations are provided. The system includes a server configured to send an email to an Enterprise Information Archiving system capable of archiving the email for at least one of eDiscovery and compliance with one or more regulations. The server can associate a virtual phone number with a mobile app residing on a user mobile device and to either: (i) receive a communication originated from the mobile app and intended for a customer phone, and send the communication the customer phone; or (ii) receive a communication originated from a customer phone and sent by the customer phone to the virtual phone number, and send the communication to the mobile app. The server also is configured to include content from the communication in the email.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a method which uses non-core-shell polymer particles to form polymer film on a pre-formed solid substrate surface, said non-core-shell polymer particles comprising two covalently coupled polymer regions of different molecular composition, wherein (a) one of the two polymer regions is a crosslinked RAFT polymer region and the other polymer region is a film forming polymer region, (b) the crosslinked RAFT polymer region comprising particle aggregation prevention means selected from one or more of charged and steric stabilising functionality, and (c) the film forming polymer region comprising 0-3 wt. % of charged polymerised monomer residues relative to the total amount of polymerised monomer residues present in that region.

Abstract: A system evaluates and conditions trainees to regulate their stress response during firearms employment, avoiding excessively heightened emotions, such as panic, and avoiding physical exhaustion. Conditioning for stress resiliency enables a high skill level in employing firearms through a range of stress-inducing environments and is vital to proper decision making, survivability, and mission success. System components include software and hardware that provide sensor-based measurement and analysis of the trainee's stress response to drill stimuli, display of target and non-target stimuli with varying degrees of rigor and potential stress inducement, for example, varying movement speeds and/or interval between or the time for which stimuli are displayed, and varying levels of threat associated with the stimuli presented. The stimuli are provided in different types of training drills, which the system can modifies based on stress measurement and analysis to advance stress resiliency conditioning.
