Abstract: A method of labeling an intravenous (IV) system is disclosed. The method may begin with obtaining a label. A label may be formed of a polymeric material and include a top, a bottom, and an aperture formed in at least one of the top and the bottom. At least one of the top and the bottom may have an exterior surface. The label may be applied to an IV system by closing the top with respect to the bottom such that at least one of tubing or a port of the IV system is secured within the aperture. A medical professional may then write on the exterior surface of the label a name of a medication to be administered through the IV system.
Abstract: A vehicle console includes a trim ring disposed over a periphery of a housing. The trim ring includes a polymeric material and is electrically conductive and grounded. A proximity switch assembly is retained in the housing. The proximity switch assembly includes a proximity sensor proximate a sensing pad for generating an activation field. The sensing pad is proximate the trim ring.

Abstract: A pump includes a casing defining an interior volume. The pump casing includes at least one balancing plate that can be part of a wall of the pump casing with each balancing plate including a protruding portion having two recesses. Each recess is configured to accept one end of a fluid driver. The balancing plate aligns the fluid displacement members with respect to each other such that the fluid displacement members can pump the fluid when rotated. The balancing plates can include cooling grooves connecting the respective recesses. The cooling grooves ensure that some of the liquid being transferred in the internal volume is directed to bearings disposed in the recesses as the fluid drivers rotate.
Abstract: A staple cartridge assembly is disclosed which comprises first staples including a drive portion and a clenching portion offset from the drive portion by a first distance and, in addition, second staples including a drive portion and a clenching portion offset from the drive portion by a second distance which is different than the first distance.

Abstract: A downhole communication repeater adapted for use on a wired drill pipe that extends from a surface to a bottom hole assembly that includes downhole communication equipment, and the surface has surface communication equipment located thereon. The repeater includes memory adapted: to store segments of logging-while-tripping data received from said downhole communication equipment and a microprocessor adapted to receive said logging-while-tripping data; to store said logging-while-tripping data in said memory while said repeater is deployed along a drill string in a well; and to re-transmit segments of said logging-while-tripping data while said repeater is cut off from downhole communications during a tripping operation.
Abstract: This invention describes a new, high-efficiency method of selecting and advancing pollen donator strains in a breeding or product advancement program, wherein the pollen donator strains are specifically selected to maximize product attributes. Embodiments of this invention relate to the use of a mix of pollen from multiple potential pollen donator strains to cross-pollinate a female corn plant, allowing for single-plant performance comparisons. The comparisons of products from the single plant or less experimental unit allow for the selection of those pollen donator strains that maximize desirable results.
Abstract: The present disclosure relates to support members for brassieres and other clothing. The support member may be manufactured by additive manufacturing, subtractive manufacturing methods, and injection molding, among others. The support member may include a thickness gradient devised to support a breast. The support member may be customized to the anatomy of a particular user. The support member may include one or more biometric sensors.

Abstract: Systems and methods are disclosed herein for processing a natural language query on data tables. According to some embodiments, a natural language query may be originated by a user via a user interface. The natural language query may be parsed to obtain a query term, and a grid range may be identified in a data table as relevant to the query term. A table summary may be prepared including a plurality of data entities based on the grid range. A logic operation may then be determined to apply on the plurality of data entities to derive the query term. The logic operation may then be translated into a formula executable on the data table, and the formula is applied on the data table to generate a result in response to the natural language query.
