Abstract: A method is provided to detect a lost packet in an event-based communication system which uses a communication protocol without error correction or recovery. The method includes maintaining a plurality of counters for tracking an overall count of data packets transmitted, and a count of data packets transmitted for each event-type; and transmitting a sequence of data packets to at least one remote device. Each data packet includes information of an event-type from the plurality of different event-types and count information associated with the counters. The method further involves receiving a message from the at least one remote device that at least one data packet from the sequence of transmitted data packets is lost based on the count information from at least one transmitted data packet; and taking at least one action in response to the message.

Abstract: An injection system includes a handle assembly with a handle body having an outer surface surrounding a handle body interior and a plunger extending therethrough. A tubular handle collar is telescopically received in the handle body exterior and is axially movable with respect to the handle body. A syringe housing assembly is selectively connectable to the handle assembly and includes a syringe housing and a tubular syringe sleeve telescopically received through a distal end of the syringe housing and axially movable with respect thereto. The syringe housing has an exterior side surface surrounding a syringe housing interior configured to receive at least a portion of a syringe. The syringe sleeve has a proximal end, a distal end with a skin contact surface, and a generally cylindrically-shaped outer surface.

Abstract: A motorized supplemental trailer axle includes an axle securable to a trailer and having a wheel affixed to opposing ends thereof. A motor for powering the axle wheels is operably connected to a battery power supply. A transfer case having a clutch mechanism is operably connected to the motor and the axle, wherein the clutch mechanism is configured to selectively engage the motor with the axle to rotate the pair of wheels. A control module includes a sensor configured to monitor rotational speed of the pair of axle wheels, a processor, a non-transitory computer readable medium operatively connected to the processor, and a logic that, when executed by the processor, causes the system to calculate a wheel speed of a vehicle currently towing the trailer and activate the motor to rotate the wheels of the trailer axle at a speed that matches the towing vehicle's wheel speed.

Abstract: A chair can include armrest apparatuses. Each of the armrest apparatuses can be configured so an arm pad is connectable to an armrest without the use of a mechanical fastener (e.g. a screw, a bolt, etc.) and without the use of an adhesive or welding, and without the use of mechanical tools (e.g. screw driver, hammer, etc.) by use of interlocking mating profiles defined in the structure of the arm pad and structure of the armrest to which the arm pad is attached. Embodiments of the chair can be configured as a side chair, task chair, or other type of chair having at least one armrest or other type of armrest apparatus.

Abstract: A chair can include a chair back, or backrest, that is coupled to a base of a chair above a seat of the chair. A tilt mechanism can attach the backrest to the base at spaced apart locations. In some embodiments, the tilt mechanism can be configured so that the backrest rotates about multiple pivots as it reclines from an upright position to a reclined position to drive forward motion of the seat during recline of the backrest.

Abstract: A payee (300A) sends a financial document (335) such as an invoice to a payer (1A) via a payment adviser service (2001, 3001). The payer (1A) sends a financial document (45) such as an advice of payment to the payment adviser service (2001, 3001) and instructions for payment (80) to a payment clearance system (100). The payment clearance system sends to the payee (300A) information on where to access the financial document (45) by including it in the payee's bank statement (315).
