  • Publication number: 20240113974
    Abstract: Mobile management method, system and client. Method includes receiving a DNS query for a host name from an application on client; retrieving reputation data associated with host name from a local cache on client; and determining a policy based on host name and the reputation data. Based on determined policy for the host name, blocking attempted network flows to a host corresponding to host name to produce blocked attempted network flows. Method also includes sending attempted network flow metadata related to the blocked attempted network flows to a collector on client; transmitting the attempted network flow metadata from the collector to a VPN server pool via a VPN tunnel; and producing an anomaly report from the transmitted attempted network flow metadata. The anomaly report includes at least one of anomalies, cohorts, trends, location boundaries, detected network security issues, detected compromised clients and/or optimized network usage.

  • Patent number: 11919708
    Abstract: A refuse vehicle comprises a chassis, a body assembly, a battery system, and a side-loading lift assembly. The body assembly is coupled to the chassis and defines a refuse compartment configured to store refuse material. The battery system is configured to be charged via at least one of an on-board electrical energy generator, an external power source, or a power regenerative braking system. The side-loading lift assembly comprises a refuse container engagement mechanism and at least one electrically-driven actuation mechanism. The refuse container engagement mechanism is configured to selectively engage a refuse container. The at least one electrically-driven actuation mechanism is powered by the battery system and is configured to selectively actuate the side-loading lift assembly between an extended position, a retracted position, and a refuse-dumping position.

  • Publication number: 20220144613
    Abstract: Methods and systems for capping prescription medication bottles are provided. In one embodiment, a capping system is provided that includes a first position at which uncapped bottles containing fulfilled prescriptions are received. The capping system also includes a second position at which uncapped bottles are capped. The second position may include a capping member that is axially aligned with a vertical centerline of uncapped bottles located at the second position. The capping system may also include an index wheel configured to support bottles within the capping system. The index wheel may be rotatable to convey uncapped bottles from the first position to the second position. The capping system may further include a cap track that provides caps to the capping member.

  • Patent number: 10828321
    Abstract: Formulations containing reactive oxygen species (ROS), processes for making these formulations, and methods of using these formulations are described. The formulations can include gels or hydrogels that contain at least one reactive oxygen species (ROS). The formulations can include a composition containing a reduced species (RS) and a reactive oxygen species (ROS). The formulations can also contain a rheology modifier and can include gels or hydrogels. Methods of preparing the formulations can include preparing a composition. Compositions can be prepared by providing water, purifying the water to produce ultra-pure water, combining sodium chloride to the ultra-pure water to create salinated water, and electrolyzing the salinated water at a temperature between about 4.5 to about 5.8° C.

    Abstract: Methods for preparing an eye serum formulation are disclosed. The methods include electrolyzing a saline solution having a salt concentration between about 0.01% and about 1.0% by weight using a voltage between about 0 V and about 30 V across an inert anode and a spaced apart inert cathode to generate a target mixture of chemically reduced and oxidized molecules within the saline solution, mirroring the target mixture of chemically reduced and oxidized species in the electrolyzed saline solution to the reduced species and reactive oxygen species found in a known biological system, adding a rheology modifier, adding a buffering agent, and adding a silicone oil. The target mixture of chemically reduced and oxidized molecules comprises one or more of hypochlorous acid, hypochlorites, dissolved oxygen, chlorine, hydrogen gas, hydrogen peroxide, hydrogen ions, hypochloride, superoxides, ozone, activated hydrogen ions, chloride ions, hydroxides, singlet oxygen, *OCl, and *HO—.
