Abstract: A visualisation aid device has a flexible PCB with a ring of surface mount LEDs around a circular opening. The LEDs emit at a wavelength to provide vein visualisation through a skin area exposed by the opening in use. A transparent membrane extends across the needle-access opening, and it has an adhesive on its skin-facing distal side. After insertion of the needle with the benefit of visualisation by the LEDs the substrate may be removed leaving only the membrane maintaining a sterile environment around the puncture site and helping to retain the needle in place.

Abstract: Aspects of the present disclosure relate to distributed virtual reality. In examples, a depth buffer and a color buffer are generated at a presenter device as part of rendering a virtual environment. The virtual environment may be perceived by a user in three dimensions (3D), for example via a virtual reality (VR) headset. Virtual environment information comprising the depth buffer and the color buffer may be transmitted to a viewer device, where it is used to render the virtual environment for display to a viewer. For example, the viewer may similarly view the virtual environment in 3D via a VR headset. A viewer perspective (e.g., from which the virtual environment is generated for the viewer) may differ from a presenter perspective and may be manipulated by the viewer, thereby decoupling the viewer's perception of the virtual environment from that of the presenter.

Abstract: An integrated process for producing light olefins by integrating methanol purification with olefin production from methanol. The methanol fed to the MTO process may be crude methanol or purified methanol with the heavy oxygenates removed and treated with heavy oxygenates in the MTO effluent. By eliminating or reducing the need for purification of methanol by the methanol supplier, the cost will be reduced for methanol conversion to olefins or fuels.

Abstract: A connector assembly including a body portion defining a cavity and a luer portion extending in the cavity, a proximal connector disposed at least partially in the cavity of the body portion, a distal connector slidably coupled to the body portion, and a compressible valve member mounted in a cavity of the proximal connector. The distal connector including first and second arms hingedly or pivotably coupled to each other. The valve member may have an internal chamber and a slit extending from a distal end portion of the valve member into the internal chamber. When the distal connector is coupled to a mating connector, the valve member is compressed and the slit is opened such that a fluid path extending from the inlet port through the internal chamber to the outlet port of the luer portion is opened to fluidly communicate the proximal connector with the mating connector.

Abstract: Cell culture systems and methods provide improved immunotherapeutic product manufacturing with greater scalability, flexibility, and automation. Cell culture systems are configured with interchangeable cartridges, allowing versatility and scalability. Systems are configured to have multiple connected cell culture chambers, which allows parallel processing of different types of cells. Gas-impermeable cell culture chambers and methods for generating cells in closed systems prevent contamination and user error. Methods for recycling cell culture medium provide additional efficiencies.

Abstract: Systems, methods, and devices of the various embodiments may determine wind-optimal airspeed targets and predict wind-optimal airspeeds at waypoints in a flight plan and incorporate these values into a Flight Management System (FMS). A computing system may determine a wind-optimal airspeed in the presence of wind using the following method: i) create a lookup table for the wind-optimal airspeed as a function of aircraft type, wind magnitude, wind direction relative to the aircraft route/segment, and flight altitude to incorporate the lookup table in the performance database (PDB) of the FMS using RTCA DO-200 or an alternative process for the specific aircraft type; ii) use the FMS to target wind-optimal airspeed, and/or predict wind-optimal airspeed at waypoints in the flight plan in real-time (periodically and event based) by accessing the lookup table created and stored in the PDB using the required parameters.

Abstract: Manufacturing system and method for creating multiple tissue constructs from cells. System can include a thaw subsystem (if the cells are provided in a frozen state), an expansion subsystem, a concentration subsystem, and a tissue maturation subsystem. Each of these subsystems is modular and can be reconfigured, and the process can be repeated depending on the specific tissue process being implemented. Multiple tissue types can be combined in multiple bioreactors. The activities of multiple bioreactors can be coordinated and controlled in an automated manner by a supervisor controller. The supervisor controller can receive user input at the start of the process, and can manage the process henceforth, alerting the user if user actions are required.
