  • Publication number: 20210354107
    Abstract: This invention relates to a method of using MOF adsorbents to remove elemental impurities from feed streams comprising active pharmaceutical ingredients (API). The process involves contacting the feed stream comprising API and elemental impurities with the MOF at purification conditions to obtain a purified stream with provides an API which has a concentration of the elemental impurity below its permitted daily exposure. The process can be carried in a batch mode where the MOF and feed stream are admixed in a vessel for a given amount of time or continuously by flowing the feed stream through a column or adsorbent bed containing the MOF adsorbent.

  • Patent number: 11159308
    Abstract: An erroneous transmission, of a record of data, to a distributed ledger system can be prevented. A first operation can confirm that a format of a content within the record of data is correct. A second operation can confirm that formats of elements of a set of information, about authorizations used to cause the record of data to be communicated via the distributed ledger system, are correct. A third operation can confirm that subject matters of the elements and a subject matter of the record of data are the same. A fourth operation can retrieve credentials associated with entities that produced the elements. A fifth operation, using the credentials, can confirm that the entities that produced the elements were authorized to produce them. A sixth operation can confirm that the set of information is sufficient to authorize causing the record of data to be communicated via the distributed ledger system.

  • Publication number: 20210146092
    Abstract: A packaging system for storing a deployable medical device within a sterilized environment includes a sealed container; a tray disposed within the sealed container; a catheter assembly comprising at least one sheath; a deployable medical device engaged with the catheter assembly; and a sterilizing fluid. The tray comprises a first chamber; a second chamber in fluid communication therewith; and at least a third chamber between the first and second chambers, and in fluid communication with at least the first chamber. The deployable medical device is disposed within the tray in a storage configuration, in which the deployable medical device is disposed within the first chamber in a partially deployed state distally from a distal end of the catheter and the catheter assembly spans between the first chamber and the second chamber. The sterilizing fluid contacts at least a part of the deployable medical device in the storage configuration.

  • Patent number: 10994704
    Abstract: A transport vehicle spray apparatus. The transport vehicle spray apparatus has at least one storage tank. A pump transports material from the storage tank through at least one filter and a manifold to at least one spray bar. The spray bar incorporates spray nozzles through which the material from the storage tank is dispensed. In one embodiment, the spray bar is connected to a collapsible frame on the top and back of the transport vehicle storage space. The collapsible frame can expand and collapse by sliding along the length of the walls of the transport vehicle storage space. As the frame expands and collapses, the spray bar coats the interior surfaces of the transport vehicle storage space with the material from the storage tank. The transport vehicle spray apparatus is utilized to spray and coat the walls of a transport vehicle's storage space with a desired fluid.

  • Publication number: 20210065679
    Abstract: A text search query including one or more words may be received. An ASR index created for an audio recording may be searched over using the query to produce ASR search results including words, each word associated with a confidence score. For each of the words in the ASR search results associated with a confidence score below a threshold (and in some cases having one or more preceding words in the ASR index and one or more subsequent words in the ASR index), a phonetic representation of the audio recording may be searched for the word having the confidence score below the threshold, where it occurs in the audio recording, possibly after the one or more preceding words and in the audio recording before the one or more subsequent words, to produce phonetic search results. Search results may be returned include ASR and phonetic results.

  • Publication number: 20200353626
    Abstract: A mobile robot system includes a docking station and a mobile robot. The docking station includes a platform, first and second charging contacts on the platform, and first and second ramp features on the platform. The robot includes a housing, first and second drive wheels, first and second raised charging contacts on a bottom of the housing, and a cleaning module including at least one rotatable cleaning head that extends below the bottom of the housing. The robot is movable from an approach position with the robot spaced apart from a front of the platform to a docked position with the robot on the platform and the docking station charging contacts engaged with the robot charging contacts. As the robot moves from the approach position to the docked position, the robot engages the first and second ramp features and the cleaning mechanism is lifted over the docking station charging contacts.

  • Publication number: 20200342016
    Abstract: A computer based system and method for assigning queries to topics and/or visualizing or analyzing query coverage may include, using a computer processor, searching, using a set of queries, over a set of text documents, to produce for each query a set of search results for the query. Each search result may include a subset of text from a text document of the set of text documents. For each query, a query vector may be calculated based on the set of search results for the query, and for each of a set of topics describing the set of text documents, a topic vector may be calculated. A report or visualization may be generated including the set of queries and the set of topics using the topic vectors and the query vectors.

  • Publication number: 20200341882
    Abstract: Systems and techniques are provided for monitoring a collaboration system. The system accumulates a log of entries to identify events in the collaboration workspace. An entry in the log of entries identifies an event and comprises data specifying virtual coordinates of location within the workspace at which an interaction with the workspace is detected, data identifying a type of interaction, a graphical object associated with the interaction, and a time of the interaction. The system assigns classifications to entries in the log according to the data identifying a type of interaction. The system displays a graphical construct as a function of the classifications of the entries in the log of entries.
