Abstract: The present application is directed to a method and system for restraining a patient before, during, or after surgery that increases efficiency of the surgical setup process and minimizes risk of musculoskeletal damage to the patient, particularly in surgeries requiring a patient to be in a Trendelenburg position (e.g., robotic or laparoscopic surgeries). One or more restraints can be worn by a patient prior to surgery', and may function to redistribute the patient's weight across the patient's torso to reduce strain on the patient's shoulders and back. The restraint(s) can be attached to a surgical table by way of an attachment mechanism coupled to the restraint(s) and the table. The attachment mechanism can secure the patient to the table by way of one or more straps, clips, and/or other intermediates. Optionally, the restraint(s) can fulfill other surgical needs, such as heat regulation and vascular compression.

Control panels and switchboards for operating the generator set system are integrated into a frame/enclosure that is positioned around/above the alternator. The panels and switchboards are positioned on the sides of the enclosure to allow user access.

Abstract: A method of dewatering magnetite to <10% w/w moisture content, including the step of extracting water from the magnetite by virtue of the magnetism of the magnetite, whereby the magnetite pulls together under magnetic attraction thereby squeezing water outwardly and away from the magnetite.

Abstract: Gravity assisted reservoir drainage systems and methods, which improve preexisting reservoir drainage systems and artificial lift methods using the interwell hydraulic communication that exists between closely spaced horizontal wells in certain fully developed leases completed with large multi-stage hydraulic fracture treatments in batch fashion.

Abstract: An electronic sports playbook and video annotation system includes a device with a memory coupled to a processor that stores instructions that, when executed by the processor, cause the processor to generate sports playbook content based on coordinate or image data. The processor is configured to detect an object (e.g., a player, etc.) on a surface (e.g., court image, or play image such as a static play drawing or video recording frame), detect a drawing of a path relating to the object (e.g., by user input device or with image processing, machine learning, or other heuristic techniques, etc.), and determine an action (e.g., a pass, dribble, cut, screen, handoff, etc.) associated with the object based on at least an attribute of the object (e.g., does the player have possession?, etc.) and detected path relating to the object. Devices may generate memory games from sports playbook content.

Abstract: A method and system are provided for managing cybersecurity vulnerabilities of resources within at least one network. The method includes collecting data including application risk rank and network location. The method further includes determining a vulnerability score for vulnerabilities of the resources and determining severity score based on the application risk rank and network location. The method additionally includes integrating the vulnerability score and the severity score to create a two-dimensional risk ranking.

Abstract: A method of controlling the robotic floor cleaning machine is disclosed that includes sensing, by a sensor on the robotic cleaning machine, an object within a sensed field. The method further includes determining, by a safety controller on the robotic cleaning machine, whether the object is an immovable object (such as a wall), and deploying an extendable cleaning element to clean the floor surface up next to the wall. The method can further include deploying the extendable cleaning element such that the extendable cleaning element is in contact with and cleans the floor up to an edge of the immovable object. Additionally, the method can include determining that the object is a movable object (such as a living thing) and preventing the extendable cleaning element from extending such that the robotic cleaning machines does not contact the movable object.

Abstract: A system includes a view screen with polarized output. The view screen may include a projected view screen or writing-surface view screen. A window capable of blocking the polarized output at least in part cloaks the view screen to frustrate viewing of the view screen through the window. In some cases, the window includes an array of panels capable of blocking multiple polarizations. The array may disrupt multiple different polarized view screen outputs while maintaining transparency to unpolarized light. In some cases, the window capable of blocking polarized output may be paired with view screen cover that converts view screen output in an unblocked polarization to one of the one or more polarizations blocked by the window.

The robotic floor cleaning machine executes the defined route and the cleaning operation.
