Abstract: A treatment system for spraying treatment fluid onto plants in a field is described. The treatment system includes a highly configurable treatment mechanism including an array of nozzles and valve assemblies coupled into manifolds, and manifold assemblies. The manifolds of the manifold assemblies can be oriented in an open state or a nested state, the open state with no overlap between nozzles of adjacent manifolds and the nested state with overlap between nozzles of adjacent manifolds. The manifolds can have multiple configurations, examples of which include a tube manifold and an offset manifold. The nozzles of the system can have multiple configurations, examples of which include a tri-spray nozzle, a bar nozzle, a fan nozzle, and a deflected fan nozzle. The system can be controlled by a system controller which detects plant material and instructs a nozzle or combination of nozzles to spray treatment fluid.

Abstract: This disclosure relates generally to induction systems for wirelessly transmitting electricity. Specifically, embodiments of the present disclosure relate to methods and systems for wirelessly transmitting electricity to a light incorporated within, for example, a spa. In some embodiments, the systems include at least one pair of induction coils (e.g., receiving and transmitting coils) incorporated into a selectively removable spa seatback. The at least one pair of induction coils can be used to wirelessly transmit electricity to a light disposed within the selectively removable spa seatback. In some embodiments, a converter is incorporated into the system to adjust at least one characteristic of the light, such as brightness, color, and/or a lighting pattern.

Abstract: This disclosure relates generally to jets for spas and, more specifically, to jets that can have more than one jet hydrotherapy spray mode. The jet can include a selectively rotatable jet head, the jet head having a first jet spray mode and a second jet spray mode. The jet head includes a valve, the valve having a first water inlet and a second water inlet, the valve further comprising a first air channel and a second air channel. The valve is rotatable from a first jet spray mode position in which a water intake is in fluid communication with the first water inlet and an air intake is in fluid communication with the first air channel, to a second jet spray mode position in which the water intake is in fluid communication with the second water inlet and the air intake is in fluid communication with the second air channel.

Abstract: This disclosure relates generally to jets for spas and, more specifically, to jets that can be adjusted laterally along a width of the proximal end of the jet housing. The angular adjustment of the proximal outlet of the jet may be at least 30°. In some embodiments, the jet assembly includes a housing with a distal inlet at a distal end of the housing and a proximal outlet at a proximal end of the housing, the proximal outlet laterally adjustable along a width of the proximal end of the housing, with the proximal outlet maintaining a constant depth with respect to the proximal end of the housing as the proximal outlet is laterally adjusted along the width of the proximal end of the housing.

Abstract: A head unit device for controlling motion of an object includes a chamber filled with a shear thickening fluid (STF) and a piston. The piston is housed within the chamber and exerts pressure against the STF from a force applied to the piston from the object. The STF is configured to have a decreasing viscosity in response to a first range of shear rates and an increasing viscosity in response to a second range of shear rates. The piston includes at least one piston bypass between opposite sides of the piston that controls flow of the STF between the opposite sides of the piston to selectively react with a shear threshold effect of the first range of shear rates or the second range of shear rates.

Abstract: Described is a method for regulating a volume of liquid delivered by a peristaltic pump and a peristaltic pump system that can be used to perform the method. The method includes sensing an ambient temperature of the peristaltic pump. The peristaltic pump includes a pump motor. At least one of a motor speed and a motor operation duration is determined from the sensed temperature, a selected volume of liquid to be delivered and a predetermined correspondence of the motor speed to ambient temperature. The pump motor is operated at the determined motor speed or for the determined motor operation duration to deliver the selected volume of liquid from the peristaltic pump.

Abstract: A neuromodulation therapy is delivered via at least one electrode implanted subcutaneously and superficially to a fascia layer superficial to a nerve of a patient. In one example, an implantable medical device is deployed along a superficial surface of a deep fascia tissue layer superficial to a nerve of a patient. Electrical stimulation energy is delivered to the nerve through the deep fascia tissue layer via implantable medical device electrodes.

Abstract: A method for thermal management of a power trowel executable by an on-board logic controller allows operation of the trowel in normal mode in which rotor speed is determined by manual control and in which a sensed temperature of the trowel lies below a high temperature setpoint. In response to the sensed temperature exceeding the high temperature setpoint, the controller switches operation of the power trowel from normal mode to thermal management mode in which a maximum rotor speed achievable by manual control is reduced by the controller in incremental steps to allow the trowel to cool. In response to the sensed temperature reaching a low temperature setpoint, the controller increases rotor speed in incremental steps, and returns operation to normal mode when a desired rotor speed is maintained for sufficient time during which the sensed temperature remains below the low temperature setpoint.

Abstract: Described herein are systems, methods, and non-transitory computer readable media for defining and executing functions for determining a matching entity that is relevant to an entity of interest when, for example, there is a significant number of intermediary links and entities between the matching entity and the entity of interest. A visual depiction of a path traversal from a seed input entity to an output matched entity can be presented to an end user in a manner that allows the end user to ascertain the sequence of intermediary links and entities that connect the matched entity to the seed entity.

Abstract: Systems, methods, and non-transitory computer-readable media can obtain data form one or more data sources. The data from the one or more data sources can be processed into one or more data records. Each data record can include at least an identification, a data type, and data to be stored. The data records can be organized into a tree data structure. The tree data structure can be stored as an intermediate data layer in a data analysis platform.
