Abstract: A location awareness system including a communication network, and a network operating element coupled to the communication network. At least one anchor network gateway is coupled to the communication network, the at least one anchor network gateway configured to generate a wireless anchor network. A plurality of anchors are configured to couple to one of the at least one anchor network gateway via its respective wireless anchor network. A plurality of tags is each configured to communicate with at least one anchor to provide ranging information for determination of a position of the tag within an area covered by the system.

Abstract: Apparatus for aligning a scan field of a medical scanner with a patient support, the apparatus comprising: at least one fiducial marker mounted to the patient support; a camera mounted to the medical scanner for imaging the at least one fiducial marker mounted to the patient support; a transport mechanism for moving the medical scanner relative to the patient support; and a computing system for instructing the transport mechanism to move the medical scanner to align the scan field of the medical scanner with the patient support.

Abstract: The invention provides particles, compositions including the particles, and methods of making the particles using electrospray. In certain embodiments, the particles allow for high concentrations of a therapeutic or diagnostic agent to be delivered at low viscosity. Particles may also exhibit beneficial properties with respect to stability.

Abstract: A reusable power module for a field device is provided. The reusable power module includes a main body defining a chamber configured to house a battery. A cover is operably coupled to the main body and has a first configuration relative to the main body wherein the main body is open and allows access to the battery. The cover also has a second configuration wherein access to the battery is closed. When the cover is in the second configuration, the reusable power module complies with an intrinsic safety specification.

Abstract: The invention provides methods for the preparation of particles including one or more agents, e.g., therapeutic or diagnostic agents. The particles can be formed by creating droplets of a first liquid, e.g., including an agent, and removing the first liquid, e.g., through its dispersal in a second liquid and/or evaporation, to solidify the droplets. Advantageously, the process of forming the particles does not significantly alter the structure or activity of the agents and may enhance the stability of the agents. For example, the particles may be stored for long periods of time without significant loss of activity, and in some embodiments, without the need for refrigeration. These particles may be used to generate stabilized pharmaceutical compositions for storage or other logistical purposes, pharmaceutical suspensions, pharmaceutical powder formulations (e.g., inhalable powders, injectable powders), creams or other topical pastes, nutraceuticals, or cosmetics.

Abstract: An industrial transmitter assembly includes an industrial transmitter and a transmitter mount. The transmitter includes electronics contained in a housing. The transmitter mount is configured to attach the housing to a structure and includes a stem member, an adaptor and a locking member. The stem member includes a first end connected to the housing of the transmitter, and a second end having a flange or a first twist-lock connector. The adaptor is configured for attachment to the structure and includes a base member having a slot configured to receive the flange or a second twist-lock connector configured to attach to the first twist-lock connector. The locking member is configured to secure the second end of the stem to the base member.
