Abstract: A needle-injection catheter includes a catheter body having a distal end, a proximal end, a stiff proximal portion, a flexible distal portion, and a delivery lumen extending therethrough. In a first embodiment, a straight injection needle extends coaxially from a distal tip of the flexible portion of the catheter body, and a plurality of penetration limiting elements positioned circumferentially about a base of the straight injection needle and configured to fold radially inwardly against a shaft of the needle when constrained in a tubular lumen and to extend radially outwardly when unconstrained. In a second embodiment, a helical needle extends from the distal tip of the flexible portion of the catheter body. The helical needle has at least one helical delivery lumen connected to receive an injectable substance from the delivery lumen of the catheter body.

Abstract: A route planning platform can find a path through a road network that has turn complexities. The route planning platform can identify, in the road network, multiple paths from an origin node to a destination node, including at least one path having a turn complexity (e.g., a turn cost, a turn restriction, and/or the like). The route planning platform can compute a respective cost for each respective path from the origin node to the destination node based on a total cost associated with a set of road segments in the respective path, and the cost for the at least one path having the turn complexity can be further based on the turn cost or the turn restriction along the at least one path. The route planning platform can select, among the multiple paths, a shortest path based on the respective cost for each path.

Abstract: The present invention concerns a structure or device comprising a rare earth nitride material, and a removable capping for passivating the rare earth nitride material.

Abstract: A device can receive, from a user device, a request for a simulation of a forecasted change in production of a client organization. The device can obtain scheduling information for a set of historical work orders and a set of existing work orders associated with the client organization. The device can generate a set of simulated work orders using a forecasting technique, information included in the request, and the scheduling information. The device can generate one or more simulated schedules for simulating performance of the set of simulated work orders. The device can determine that one or more capacity values associated with operational resources needed to carry out the set of simulated schedules satisfy one or more threshold capacity values. The device can generate one or more recommendations for improving processes associated with the client organization. The device can provide the one or more recommendations to the user device.

Abstract: A portable weather detection and alarm device includes an electromagnetic signal receiver that receives digital time signals and atmospheric phenomenon signals. A processor connected to the electromagnetic signal receiver processes the atmospheric phenomenon signals to determine when an atmospheric event has occurred. An alarm connected to the processor that indicates the occurrence of an atmospheric event.

Abstract: A boatlift buoyancy system for assisting in maneuvering a boatlift while in the water by adding buoyancy to the boatlift. The boatlift buoyancy system includes a first tube and a second tube attachable to the horizontal support beams of a boatlift that are capable of receiving of volume of air and/or water. A first hose and a second hose are fluidly connected to the first tube and second tube respectively for delivering pressurized air when buoyancy is desired for the boatlift. The first tube and the second tube also have a first aperture and a second aperture respectively within lower portions thereof for allowing for the draining of water when pressurized air is input into the tubes.

Abstract: A system and method for automated location of transportation vehicle passengers enables a passenger to request a transportation vehicle by activating a transceiver. The transceiver transmits a request signal upon activation to a transportation server. The transportation server sends a location request to a location system. The location system then transmits an interrogation signal from the location system to the transceiver. The transceiver responds by transmitting a response signal back to the location system. The location system then processes said response signal to determine the physical location of the transceiver and sends a pick-up signal to a transportation vehicle to pick up the passenger at the determined physical location.

Abstract: A relational processor having multiple inputs for receiving and processing parallel words. The relational processor comprises one or more input subsections for converting parallel input data to serial output data. Each of the one or more subsections has a parallel input for receiving the parallel input data and a respective subsection output for outputting the serial output data. A plurality of Boolean processors process the serial output data into processed output data, which plurality of Boolean processors are each operatively connected to the subsection outputs of the one or more input subsections to receive the serial output data. The processed output data is routed with a data routing system which is connected to a processor output of each of the plurality of Boolean processors to route data therefrom to one or more destination circuits. The relational processor processes the input data in a single pass.

Abstract: A fuel recovery system warns a user of an impending overflow of fuel and also provides an overflow chamber into which relatively small amount of overfilled fuel are captured, thus preventing fuel spillage into the surrounding environment. The system is adapted for use with a fuel tank attached to a fuel fill line and an overflow line, and comprises a float assembly adapted to be coupled inline to the overflow line; an overflow chamber coupled via a check valve to the main fuel tank; and an optical/electronic warning system for warning the user when fuel in the float assembly rises to a predetermined level.
