Abstract: Nebulizer systems, adapters, methods, and apparatuses are described for a nebulizer adapter that includes a body, an inlet for aerosolized respiratory medications and/or medical marijuana and/or other pharmaceuticals, a breathing gas inlet tube and outlet tube, a barrier or body, and a drain lumen port that passes from the bottom of the barrier or body of the apparatus to the exterior into a port drain. The port drain would be in fluid communication with a receptacle removably attached to the annular lid that is attached to the bottom of the adapter body for collecting condensed moisture, wherein the receptacle comprise an actuator member configured to actuate the airtight seal of the annular lid upon attachment. The adapter includes a sensory system and temperature regulating system that continuously detects and regulates the temperature within an adapter to minimize condensates from forming and interfering with patient care.

Abstract: A method for responding to a command sequence includes receiving a signal from a host carrying a plurality of commands in the command sequence, detecting a non-consecutive clock associated with a start of a current command in the command sequence, and generating a control signal in an active state to indicate detection of the non-consecutive clock.

Abstract: An electrical line system for a vehicle, includes a first line arrangement for electrically connecting a first vehicle system to a first controller, a second line arrangement for electrically connecting a second vehicle system to a second controller, and an external sheath which surrounds the first line arrangement and the second line arrangement at least in sections, wherein an isolating medium is arranged within the external sheath, wherein the isolating medium is designed to surround the first line arrangement and the second line arrangement and to keep the line arrangements at a distance from the external sheath in order to reduce a pull-off force when pulling off the external sheath.

Abstract: A method for responding to a command sequence includes receiving the command sequence associated with a targeted access to a memory system, detecting a non-consecutive clock associated with a start of the command sequence, and generating a control signal in an active state to indicate detection of the non-consecutive clock associated with the start of the command sequence.

Abstract: An apparatus includes a detector circuit and a data buffer. The detector circuit may be configured to (i) identify a start of a command sequence associated with a directed access to a memory system and (ii) generate a control signal indicating a non-consecutive clock associated with the start of the command sequence. The data buffer circuit may be configured to initialize a condition of a receiver circuit in response to the control signal prior to reception of a first data bit associated with the command sequence.

Abstract: An exemplary system for securing objects to a substrate with a non-penetrating securing device. The non-penetrating securing device is a non-destructive device that allows objects of a variety of sizes (large and small) to be securely mounted to or on fragile substrates.

Abstract: A virtual world reward redemption system and method are disclosed which may comprise a user computing device displaying a virtual world interactive video game environment, including, e.g., a display of a video game, with, e.g., a prompt to the user indicating the availability of a virtual game item to the user as a reward for the user taking an action in the real world of the user with respect to at least one of purchasing the product or the performance of the service. A user interface may verify the taking of the action by the user through the capture of a video feed using the user computing device of a proof of purchase item and the computing device may receive confirmation of the user performing the action of the user in the real world of the user in the form of a redemption of the virtual game item.

Abstract: An automated pipe clearing apparatus for extracting buildup from a pipe. The apparatus includes a housing with an open bottom. The housing contains a discharge conduit adapted to fluidly couple to a drain pipe. A door is disposed within the housing, whereby the door can transition between an open and a closed positions. In the open position, the drain pipe drains normally through the discharge conduit. In the closed position the discharge conduit is slealingly enclosed within the housing. A vacuum pump, an electrical power source, and a switch module reside within the housing. The switch module actuates the vacuum pump and the door at predetermined times. When the door is in its closed position, the vacuum produced within the housing by the vacuum pump extracts buildup from the drain pipe. After the scheduled clearing is completed, the switch module causes the vacuum pump to turn off. The door returns to the open position, in which it remains until the next scheduled clearing.

Abstract: An automated pipe clearing apparatus for extracting matter contained within a drain pipe. The drain pipe clearing apparatus contains a vacuum pump having an inlet port and a discharge port. The inlet port is fluidly coupled to the drain pipe. A control module is in electrical communication with an electrical power source and the vacuum pump. The control module is programmed to actuate the vacuum pump at a predetermined time for a predetermined duration. The vacuum pump produces a suction to clear the drain pipe. The removed matter exits the vacuum pump through the discharge port. When the vacuum pump is not operating, gravity causes the drain pipe to continue normal draining.

Abstract: An in-line method and apparatus for making a corrugated board and carton blanks from the corrugated board include: a laminating station for completing the formation of a corrugated board having a corrugated medium, an inner liner, and a printed outer liner; an adhesive setting station for curing adhesive in the corrugated board; and a creasing, cutting, and scrap removal station for repeatedly forming sets of fold lines and cuts in the corrugated board to make carton blanks. The sets of fold lines and cuts may be formed by rotary or flatbed dies and a control system properly locates the sets of fold lines and cuts and printed matter on the outer liner relative to each other on the carton blanks being formed.
