Abstract: A message processing facility is described. The facility receives user input defining a textual message intended for an addressee service principal. Before sending the defined textual message, the facility analyzes the defined textual message to determine a textual message category to which the defined textual message belongs among a plurality of textual message categories.

Abstract: An asset tracking system includes a tracking device associated with a mobile asset and a centralized device management platform. The tracking device is configured via a set of device configurations. The centralized device management platform includes one or more processors in communication with the tracking device and computer-readable memory encoded with instructions that, when executed, cause the system to receive location data corresponding to a location of the tracking device; evaluate the location data to identify a zone corresponding to a physical region that includes the location of the tracking device; compare an identified zone with a set of location-based rules to identify a rule associated with the identified zone; update the set of device configurations with a device configuration that is associated with an identified rule; and sync an updated set of device configurations to the tracking device to reconfigure the tracking device based on the identified rule.

Abstract: A smart trailer system coupled to a trailer of a vehicle includes a sensor configured to measure a parameter of the trailer, a sensor interface board electrically coupled to the sensor and configured to retrieve the measured parameter, and a master controller communicatively coupled to the sensor interface board via a data bus.

Abstract: An electrical-discharge machining tool comprising a ground electrode, a moveable and activatable assistive electrode and a cutting electrode, a first conduit for supplying a dielectric and a second conduit for flushing dielectric material, wherein when used on a dielectric layer on a substrate the assistive electrode is activated and positioned substantially between the ground electrode and the cutting electrode.

Abstract: The application pertains to pharmaceutical combinations of orally administered paclitaxel and a P-gp inhibitor. The pharmaceutical combinations are suitable for the treatment of cancer in a subject and for reducing or preventing toxicity, hypersensitivity-type infusion reactions, and other negative outcomes resulting from or associated with intravenously administered paclitaxel (e.g., Taxol® or paclitaxel formulated with Cremophor®) therapy in a subject suffering from cancer.

Abstract: The present invention provides a method for the synthesis of an injectable composition comprising a [18F]-labelled pyridaben derivative that is advantageous over prior methods. In particular, the method of the present invention comprises a method of radiosynthesis that permits a more facile purification using solid phase extraction (SPE).

Abstract: An electro-discharge machining (EDM) device that includes a housing, an erosion electrode, a ground electrode, and a dielectric inlet. The housing is configured to be positioned on a surface of a workpiece and proximal to a fastener to be eroded. The planar erosion electrode is positioned at least partially within the housing, with the erosion electrode being movable relative to the housing in a first axis. The first axis is substantially normal to a longitudinal axis of the fastener. The ground electrode is conductively connected to the fastener. The dielectric inlet is configured to deliver a dielectric fluid to a region between the erosion electrode and the fastener.

Abstract: A fishing rod vibration system, including a mounting platform, a batter powered electronics system mounted on the mounting platform and including a motor controller and a user interface operably and electrically coupled to the motor controller, as well as a vibrator selectively and detachably coupled to the electronics system for receiving output signals from the motor controller. The vibrator includes a housing enclosing an electric motor, and vibrator mounting elements enable attachment of the vibrator to a fishing rod.

Abstract: An artificial cave has various features that resemble speleothems (e.g., stalactites, stalagmites, etc.) found in real subterranean caves. Human users may pass through the artificial cave, with each user wearing a wearable transceiver that broadcasts a signal code unique to that user. Fixed transceivers throughout the cave can detect and identify any user who is sufficiently close to that fixed transceiver. Other components of the system collect user identification information from the fixed transceivers for any of several possible purposes (e.g., identifying which user was probably responsible for inappropriate interaction with a speleothem that is adjacent to a given fixed transceiver, where all of the various user of the cave are currently located in the cave, etc.). A count of users currently in the artificial cave passageway may be maintained and used for a number of purposes.

Abstract: An interchangeable eyeglass lens system allows for the placement and easy removal of lenses to a pair of glasses to create various shades and colors of sunglasses. The glasses may include a set of prescription lenses permanently fixed to the frame and a second set of lenses that slide into a groove in the frame. The present invention is further a method of interchanging the tinted lenses within the glasses.

Abstract: The present invention provides a method for the synthesis of an injectable composition comprising a [18F]-labelled pyridaben derivative that is amenable to automation. In particular, the method of the present invention comprises a method of purification carried out by means of solid phase extraction (SPE) alone.

Abstract: The present invention relates a method of monitoring an automated radiosynthesizer during a run and the radiosynthesizer having a number of individual activity detectors operably associated therewith. The method comprises the steps of recording S10 activity data from each activity detector; accessing S20 historic data from a data storage; detecting S30 precursor of yield drop in the recorded activity data based on the historic data; predicting (S40 yield when synthesizing a tracer with the radiosynthesizer based on the detected precursor of yield drop; and initiating S50 actions related to a level of predicted yield.
