Abstract: A user interface for working through workflows can include a dual-region approach. The first display region can display a series of workflows that an assigned worker (“assignee”) may have. Each of the workflows can have one or more tasks associated therewith. Each workflow and/or task can be associated with one or more triggers that initiate the assignment of that workflow and/or task. In response to selection of a workflow or task, the second display region can display information associated with the workflow or task.

The code testing device may receive, from a second device associated with a reviewer, a second instruction to deploy the merged first code branch. The code testing device may perform a second set of tests, associated with a second environment, in response to the second instruction. The code testing device may deploy the merged first code branch based on the second set of tests resulting in a passing outcome for the merged first code branch.

Abstract: A system and method to identify, convey, and reduce the risk of hip dislocations following hip replacement surgery. Preoperative images are used to identify the pelvic tilt of a patient while the patient is in a sitting position, a standing position, and a supine position. Based on the pelvic tilt and pelvic mobility depicted in the preoperative images, the system can identify a quantitative and/or qualitative risk of hip dislocation when the patient is seated, standing, and lying. During surgery, an intraoperative image can confirm the acetabular cup orientation once implanted and the system can determine the risk of hip dislocation when patient is in the supine position. The system can also extrapolate the dislocation risk when the patient is seated and standing based on acetabular cup position and orientation depicted in the intraoperative image.

Abstract: A switching apparatus includes a switching contact member, a common contact member, a movable contact member configured to electrically connect the switching contact member and the common contact member to each other, and a holding member that holds the movable contact member. The movable contact member includes a switching-side sliding-contact portion configured to come into sliding-contact with the switching contact member and a common-side elastic contact portion that is in elastic-contact with the common contact member. The holding member is rotatable about a rotation axis extending along a direction crossing an extending direction of the movable contact member. Rotation of the holding member allows switching between a first connection state and a second connection state. The rotation axis of the holding member passes through the common contact member, thereby enhancing the stability of conductivity at the operating fulcrum of the movable contact member.

Abstract: Systems and methods for estimating location of features in a pipeline can be based on a device with two arrays axially spaced apart from each other by a distance. Measurements of signals from the first array and the second array of electromagnetic sensors are acquired and, based on the measurements, welds in walls of the pipeline are detected. An instantaneous velocity of the device can be estimated based, at least in part, by dividing the distance between first array of electromagnetic sensors and the second array of electromagnetic sensors by time elapsed between first array of electromagnetic sensors passing the weld and the second array of electromagnetic sensors passing the weld. The position of the device in the pipeline can be estimated based, at least in part, on the estimates of the instantaneous velocity of the device over time.
