Abstract: A novel and useful system and method of time traveling source code debugging including several advanced capabilities that significantly improve the source code debugging process. Upon hitting a breakpoint or opening a dump file, the debugger travels to the future which can be altered by a user by modifying code on the fly (live coding) and receiving immediate feedback to validate bug fixes. Visual annotations including values of variables and expressions are provided as a heads up display effectively flattening time and space. A pivoting capability allows a user to switch the execution context of the code at any time. Point in time links that store the state of the debugging session can be created and activated. An asynchronous collaboration and messaging system enables multiple participants to share a debugging session. An optional redaction capability is also provided for obscuring or replacing sensitive private information.

Abstract: A mirror for an ophthalmic laser treatment device that is movable on an axis from a position in a treatment laser beam path to a position out of the treatment laser beam path. The mirror reflects light from a light source into the eye of a patient. The mirror is biased towards a position in the path and is moved out of the path by an actuator just long enough for the laser treatment to be applied and without noticeable interruption to viewing by a user.
Abstract: Disclosed is a system for distributing objects designed to be inserted between an upstream machine delivering an input flow of objects in single-row form and a downstream machine requiring an output flow of objects in a controlled multiple-row form, including a conveyor belt that is configured to support and drive the objects in the direction of the flow, a deflector configured to deflect the input flow toward one of the rows of the output flow, and a unit for creating streams, configured to separate the input flow into streams of a predetermined quantity of objects, the unit for creating streams being placed immediately upstream from the rows of the output flow. Also disclosed is a method for distributing objects using such a system.

Abstract: A rescue strap assembly comprising a connector, an adjuster, a mechanical advantage assembly, and a strap having a first end, an intermediate portion, and a second end. The first end is operatively connected to the connector and the mechanical advantage assembly, the intermediate portion is routed through the adjuster, and the mechanical advantage assembly is configured and arranged to engage at least a portion of the intermediate portion.
Abstract: A method is described for the diagnostic determination of the risk caused by an altered oxidative balance, comprising the photometric measurement of total cholesterol, hydroperoxides, and antioxidant capacity, on the basis of which the protective index, the oxidative index and the risk index caused by an altered oxidative balance (or ‘OBRI’) are calculated. This latter index has proved to be particularly dependable and reliable in determining the status of the oxidative balance in relation to cholesterol levels, being highly predictive of cardiovascular risk.
Abstract: A method may include accessing a terminal branch of an ophthalmic artery through a face of a subject via first device. Additionally, the method may include positioning the first device or a second device within the ophthalmic artery of the subject and treating a blockage, a stenosis, a lesion, plaque or other physiology in the ophthalmic artery or a junction between an internal carotid artery and the ophthalmic artery.

Abstract: The systems, devices, articles, and methods generally relate to sampling from an available probability distribution. The samples maybe used to create a desirable probability distribution, for instance for use in computing values used in computational techniques including: Importance Sampling and Markov chain Monte Carlo systems. An analog processor may operate as a sample generator, for example by: programming the analog processor with a configuration of the number of programmable parameters for the analog processor, which corresponds to a probability distribution over qubits of the analog processor, evolving the analog processor with a fast ramp operation, and reading out states for the qubits. The state for the qubits may be post processes and/or used to calculate importance weights.

Abstract: A method for monitoring a high-voltage electric-current transmission line includes: determining (100) the ampacity (A) of the high-voltage line from a distribution temperature, conduction parameters and meteorological parameters; measuring (202) the current strength effectively transmitted by the high-voltage line using at least one sensor; and monitoring (204), by a monitoring device connected to the sensor, an excess of ampacity (A) by the current strength measured. The determining (100) of the ampacity (A) includes: selecting (108, 110, 112, 114, 116) a value of this ampacity (A) by optimizing a probability of exceeding the distribution temperature, with this probability defined based on a joint probability model (P) of operating current strength and temperature that depends on meteorological parameters; and recording (118) the selected ampacity value in a storage unit of the monitoring device.
