Abstract: An assembly for offsite construction of a building, a connector for use in such an assembly, along with a method of manufacture of such a connector, and a method of construction using the assembly. The connector includes first and second buttress elements defining, respectively, a first location portion and a second location portion. The first location portion and the second location portion are configured, respectively, to receive first and second structural elements extending at transverse angles to each other. The first and second buttress elements each has first and second opposite side walls defining an access space between them for a connector to be accessed. The second side wall of the first buttress element and the second side wall of the second buttress element together define a third location portion configured to receive a third structural element extending transversely to the first and second structural elements.

Abstract: Methods, systems, and apparatus, including computer programs encoded on a computer storage medium, for providing implants for surgical procedures. In some implementations, a model that has been trained using data indicating characteristics of other patients and items used in surgeries for the other patients is obtained. Using the model and patient characteristics for a patient, such as the height and weight of the patient, the items needed for a surgery for a particular patient can be identified. For example, the likelihoods that different sizes of an implant component will be needed can be identified and used to determine which sizes of components should be provided at a medical facility and in the operating room for the patient's surgery.

Abstract: An example system for estimating a hydration level of an individual can include: a mechanism configured to apply mechanical pressure to a digit of the individual; an light detector configured to sense the light from the digit; and a controller programmed to perform functions including: send a first signal to the mechanism to apply the mechanical pressure to the digit; send a second signal to the mechanism to release the mechanical pressure on the digit; determine a capillary refill time based upon a third signal from the light detector indicating an amount of time for capillaries of the individual to refill with blood; and estimate the hydration level of the individual based upon the capillary refill time and one or more additional parameters.

Abstract: The present invention provides a reproxalap ophthalmic solution, and methods of using the same for treating dry eye disease.

Abstract: Methods and devices for providing fast multi-touch sensors are disclosed. In an embodiment, a method is provided for design and manufacture of touch sensors for touch-sensitive devices. At least one behavioral quality is identified for the touch-sensitive devices. At least one parameter is selected, the parameter being associated with the composition or geometry of a stack of row conductors and column conductors on each of the touch sensors associated with the devices, the selection being based on the identified at least one behavioral quality. Multi-touch sensors are then manufactured by arranging a plurality of row conductors and a plurality of column conductors in a stack such that the stack or a component thereof has a geometry or composition that meets the at least one parameter. An orthogonal signal transmitter is provided for simultaneously transmitting each of a plurality of orthogonal row signals on a respective one of at least some of the plurality of row conductors.

Abstract: In various examples, users may access a tool that automatically generates video montages from video clips of the user's gameplay according to parameterized recipes. As a result, a user may select—or allow the system to select—clips corresponding to gameplay of the user and customize one or more parameters (e.g., transitions, music, audio, graphics, etc.) of a recipe, and a video montage may be generated automatically according to a montage script output using the recipe. As such, a user may have a video montage generated with little user involvement, and without requiring any skill or expertise in video editing software. In addition, even for experienced video editors, automatic video montage generation may be a useful alternative to save the time and effort of manually curating video montages.

Abstract: A magnetic pump comprising: a pump body supporting an output shaft on a wet side of the pump and having an inlet and at least one outlet for pumped fluid; an input drive element on a dry side of the pump, at least one magnet for coupling the input and output shafts such that motion of the input shaft causes motion of the output shaft, a pressure containing structure mounted on the pump body for separating the dry and the wet sides, wherein the pump includes: one or more pathways through which pumped fluid can pass so as to lubricate one or more moving parts within the pressure containing structure, and a monitoring port/channel through which one or more properties of pumped fluid passing through the one or more pathways can be sensed.

Abstract: Techniques are described for dynamically determining the flow of screens to be presented in a user interface (UI) of an application executing on a computing device, based at least partly on a detected presence of a user device (e.g., a portable computing device) in a particular geographic area. Area designation data is transmitted to, and stored on, a user device. The area designation data can describe a geofenced area and/or beacon signals. In response to determining that the user device is in the geographic area indicated by the area designation data, the user device may transmit an alert signal that causes an interface flow to be dynamically determined and executed for an application executing on the computing device that is separate from the user device.

Abstract: A self-healing hydraulic seal is provided. The self-healing hydraulic seal is prepared from a water-swellable elastomeric composition comprising a base polymer and a plant-based polysaccharide.

Abstract: A method at a server system for processing patient test data from at least one point of care device comprises receiving point of care test data for a patient, retrieve demographic data for the patient from a said electronic health record provider's computer, where the at least one electronic health record provider's computer stores electronic health records for patients, processing the point of care test data for the patient using the demographic data and reference data, where the reference data specifies at least one demographically dependent normal range for point of care test data, setting a flag in the point of care test data when the processing of the point of care test data determines that the point of care test data lies outside the normal range, and uploading the point of care test data to the electronic health record data for the patient at the electronic health provider's computer.

Abstract: Systems and methods for prescribing athletic activity to be performed by a user, and for adapting the prescribed athletic activity based on completed (e.g. ongoing) athletic performances by the user. A coaching plan may be automatically created that prescribes personalized athletic activities as a user trains towards a goal date. The athletic information may be received from one or more sensor devices associated with a user, and the coaching plan may be continuously or intermittently updated based on the received sensor data.
