Abstract: Systems, apparatuses and methods may provide for technology that automatically determines a runtime performance of a plurality of heterogeneous processing units based on system-level thread characteristics, wherein the runtime performance is determined on a per performance class basis. The technology may also automatically determine a runtime energy efficiency of the heterogeneous processing units, wherein the runtime energy efficiency is determined on a per efficiency class basis. In one example, technology selectively unparks one or more of the heterogeneous processing units based on the runtime performance and the runtime energy efficiency.

Abstract: A configuration for a breathing sequence may be defined using a user interface of a user device. The user interface may also be used to begin the breathing sequence. Prior to beginning the breathing sequence, the user device can determine a breath ratio for the breathing sequence based on a breathing profile. The breath ratio is based at least in part on inhale time and exhale time of a breath of the breathing sequence. During the breathing sequence, a fluctuating user interface element may fluctuate at a cyclic rate corresponding to the breath ratio. Such fluctuation may include repeated growing and repeated shrinking of the fluctuating user interface element.

Abstract: An access control system is provided to prevent the surreptitious granting of access to privacy related functionality on an electronic device. Software-based events to grant access to device functionality can be validated by confirming that the software event corresponds with a hardware input event. This validation prevents the spoofing of a user interface input that may be used to fraudulently grant access to specific functionality.

Abstract: Methods and apparatuses for thin film transistors and related fabrication techniques are described. The thin film transistors may access two or more decks of memory cells disposed in a cross-point architecture. The fabrication techniques may use one or more patterns of vias formed at a top layer of a composite stack, which may facilitate building the thin film transistors within the composite stack while using a reduced number of processing steps. Different configurations of the thin film transistors may be built using the fabrication techniques by utilizing different groups of the vias. Further, circuits and components of a memory device (e.g., decoder circuitry, interconnects between aspects of one or more memory arrays) may be constructed using the thin film transistors as described herein along with related via-based fabrication techniques.

Abstract: An electrosurgical pencil includes a handle housing defining a fluid lumen and a central longitudinal axis. A nozzle defines a fluid lumen in fluid communication with the fluid lumen defined by the handle housing for evacuating fluid from a surgical site. The nozzle includes a slot configured to receive a nub protruding from the distal end portion of the handle housing to releasably couple the nozzle to the handle housing. An electrode configured to deliver electrosurgical energy to tissue has a proximal portion coupled to the handle housing and a distal portion extending through the fluid lumen defined by the nozzle. At least a portion of the electrode extends distally from a distal end of the nozzle. The electrode defines a central longitudinal axis offset from the central longitudinal axis defined by the handle housing.

Abstract: A system for injecting includes a cartridge body defining a proximal opening and a distal needle interface. The system also includes a plunger member defining a plunger interior and configured to be manually manipulated to insert a stopper member relative to the cartridge body. The plunger member includes a needle retention feature disposed in the plunger interior, an energy-storage member disposed in the plunger interior, and an energy-storage member latching member disposed in the plunger interior. The system further includes a needle hub assembly coupled to the distal needle interface of the cartridge body. The needle assembly includes a needle having a needle proximal end feature, a hub, and a needle latching member configured to couple the needle to the hub. The needle is retractable into plunger interior upon manipulation of the plunger member to actuate the energy-storage member latching member.

Abstract: Systems, apparatuses, and methods disclosed herein may be directed to clips for medical implementation, including clips for a portion of a heart. The clips may be configured to close the portion of the heart, to reduce blood flow therethrough as well as passage of clots or other undesired materials. In examples, the clips may be configured to close the left atrial appendage (LAA). The closure of the LAA may reduce the possibility of stroke or other maladies stemming from fluid flow with the LAA. In examples, the clips may be positioned exterior of the LAA, to extend over an outer surface of the LAA for closure.

Abstract: A system and method for operation of an autonomous vehicle (AV) yard truck is provided. A processor facilitates autonomous movement of the AV yard truck, and connection to and disconnection from trailers. A plurality of sensors are interconnected with the processor that sense terrain/objects and assist in automatically connecting/disconnecting trailers. A server, interconnected, wirelessly with the processor, that tracks movement of the truck around and determines locations for trailer connection and disconnection. A door station unlatches/opens rear doors of the trailer when adjacent thereto, securing them in an opened position via clamps, etc. The system computes a height of the trailer, and/or if landing gear of the trailer is on the ground and interoperates with the fifth wheel to change height, and whether docking is safe, allowing a user to take manual control, and optimum charge time(s). Reversing sensors/safety, automated chocking, and intermodal container organization are also provided.

Abstract: The present disclosure relates to aggregating and sharing wellness data. The wellness data can be received by a user device from any number of sensors external or internal to the user device, from a user manually entering the wellness data, or from other users or entities. The user device can securely store the wellness data on the user device and transmit the wellness data to be stored on a remote database. A user of the device can share some or all of the wellness data with friends, relatives, caregivers, healthcare providers, or the like. The user device can further display a user's wellness data in an aggregated view of different types of wellness data. Wellness data of other users can also be viewed if authorizations from those users have been received.
