Abstract: The present application describes the addition of various feedback mechanisms including visual and audio feedback mechanisms to an ophthalmic diagnostic device to assist a subject to self-align to the device. The device may use the visual and non-visual feedback mechanisms independently or in combination with one another. The device may provide a means for a subject to provide feedback to the device to confirm that an alignment condition has been met. Alternatively, the device may have a means for sensing when acceptable alignment has been achieved. The device may capture diagnostic information during the alignment process or may capture after the alignment condition has been met.

Abstract: There is a process for correcting a bone injury, an implant for correcting the bone injury and a kit for applying the implant for correcting the bone injury. The process can be made substantially uniform with the application of a standardized kit. In at least one application the process is for correcting a bunion on a patient. The process can include applying a first drill guide to a bone, and then a second drill guide. Once the drill guides have been applied and wires have been inserted into a bone, an implant can then be applied to correct a bone injury and to allow the bone injury to heal.

Abstract: A highly integrated analyte detection device is provided. The transmitter is composed of a shell, a cover body, a circuit module and an electrical connection module. The circuit module is fixedly connected with the shell, one end of the electric connection module is fixedly connected with the circuit module, the other end extends to the outside through the through hole on the shell, and is electrically connected with other structural parts. The sealing material is filled between the electric connection module and the through hole, and the cover body and the shell are clamped together to form a seal for the circuit module, which makes the transmitter structure simpler. The shell and the circuit module can be processed separately and then assembled. The production process is less difficult and the production cost is reduced at the same time.

Abstract: Disclosed are systems and methods for monitoring operations of autonomous vehicles within a warehouse. The autonomous vehicle's processing unit may detect when the autonomous vehicle is delayed based on one or more timers or time thresholds, such as an amount of time that the autonomous vehicle has been located at a particular location or the amount of time between when the autonomous vehicle received product picking instructions and a shipping deadline. The autonomous vehicle may also use various types of data to detect potential problems, such as determining an amount remaining battery life. Once the autonomous vehicle identified a particular triggering condition, then the autonomous vehicle may trigger an annunciator (e.g., flashing lights, sounding horn) or transmit a notification to other devices, such as client devices. The annunciators or notifications attempt to capture personnel attention to resolve the identifier problem.
