Abstract: A method includes capturing a signal of a detection substrate exposed to a sample containing a target substance; determining that the detection substrate is in a testable state; and generating an assessment of the presence of the target substance in the sample.

Abstract: Augmented reality enables an operator to visualize values of parameters of audio channels during audio mixing. A heads-up display worn by the operator, such as smart glasses, displays virtual graphical objects representing the parameters so that they appear within a three-dimensional space surrounding the operator and an audio mixing console. Parameter values are represented by the location, size, and other attributes of the virtual graphical objects. The operator adjusts the parameter values using physical and touch controls on the console and by manipulating the virtual objects with a body part such as a finger. Sensors mounted on the heads-up display and on other body parts capture position and movement of the operator in real time and send the captured data to a system running augmented reality control software. Graphical user interfaces of a media processing application controlled by the console and of plug-in modules may also be displayed on the heads-up display.

Abstract: A professional services audit tool is disclosed that includes an application that performs a variety of functions such as completing certain audit planning processes/forms, offering a tailored set audit programs based on the assessed risks, allowing users to further tailor the suggested audit programs, and rendering these audit programs in a helpful format. The application also provides functionality to perform and document audit work, guide the auditor though the engagement process, isolate audit program steps by related assertions and identified risks to ensure that audit plans are tailored to specific risks, provide an engagement dashboard to view at a glance both the overall audit and for each audit area, the steps which are not yet started, in progress, or completed, and allow for the integration of generated documents to be automatically stored to, accessed from, and synchronized with various external engagement management systems.

Abstract: A method includes capturing a signal of a detection substrate exposed to a sample containing a target substance; determining that the detection substrate is in a testable state; and generating an assessment of the presence of the target substance in the sample.

Abstract: Provided are devices and methods for reducing or preventing fluid flow through a catheter lumen. For example, the devices and methods can be used to reduce blood flow through a catheter. Optionally, the catheter is an intravenous catheter.

Abstract: A shunt includes a housing having an inlet, an outlet and a flow control mechanism disposed within the housing. A ventricular catheter is connected to the inlet of the housing. The catheter has a longitudinal length, a proximal end, a distal end, and an inner lumen extending therethrough. The inner lumen of the catheter includes at least two lumens at the distal end and has only one lumen at the proximal end. The catheter has one slit and aperture corresponding to each of the at least two lumens located at the distal end of the catheter.

Abstract: An adjustable height tool for locating a magnetically readable and settable valve which includes a wall having a first perimeter. A platform can be disposed within the first perimeter. A valve cut-out can disposed within the platform and receive at least a portion of the valve. A movable foot can be disposed below the platform by which a displacement element moves the foot at least one of toward or away from the platform, in fixed increments of about 1.5 mm, upon rotation of the displacement element. This movement increases or decreases the distance between the platform and the skin/valve.

Abstract: This invention provides for data generated by intelligent devices exchanging information about their operation and performance over the so-called “Internet of Things” to be unidentified. Where particulars about an individual associated with a networked device are relevant to the operation and performance of the device, this invention provides for said particulars to be made available in digital certificates bound to the device. Data records generated by the device when operating with a certain individual are digitally signed at the time and later verified using said certificates, thus reliably conveying those particulars with the data. The identity of the individual is decoupled from the device and the data generated by the device.

Abstract: Disclosed is a founding system for mounting in the interior of a structure having rounded interior walls, such as a coker. The founding system includes one or more generally horizontal support layers. In one example, each horizontal support layer has four support beams and four connection elements mounting the support beams. Each connection element has a flat edge tangential to the rounded interior walls of the structure, a foot extending from the flat edge to abut the interior of said rounded interior walls, and two mounts for mounting two of the support beams at an angle of about 90 degrees.

Abstract: The discussion makes reference to methods and apparatuses for network controlled computer power down. The link layer in computer networking can be used to save power in computers.

Abstract: The invention relates to radiopaque shape memory foam compositions and methods of using the compositions. In certain embodiments, the compositions are used in neurovascular occlusion applications.

Abstract: A transdermal permeant delivery of at least one permeant composition into a tissue membrane of a subject including a disposable substrate having at least a portion of a bottom surface of a first release liner connected to an upper surface of the substrate and a patch having a backing layer and a reservoir that is selectively removable from the top surface of the first release liner. In a connected position, a first portion of the backing layer of the patch is releaseably mounted to a top surface of the first release liner in spaced registration with a poration area of the substrate.

Abstract: An anti-siphon drainage device having a housing forming an internal chamber, an inlet and outlet ports part of the internal chamber and fluidly connected by a primary flow path. A valve seat is associated with the primary flow path, a sloped section extends from the valve seat, and a valve element disposed in the sloped section and can seat in the valve seat to restrict a fluid flow into the primary flow path from the inlet port. A secondary flow path can have an opening near the inlet port and an orifice near the outlet port. A regulator has an aperture to selectively open and close the opening of the secondary flow path. When the valve element is seated in the valve seat and restricting the fluid flow into the primary flow path, the fluid flows into the secondary flow path.
