Abstract: Various embodiments are directed to apparatuses, methods, and computer program products for providing centralized remittance and corresponding data communication amongst various third party systems. Request data objects are transmitted from requesting devices to a centralized remittance system, and the centralized remittance system requests data objects from remittance entity device. Standardized data objects are generated, and a multi-transaction data file transmitted toward a multi-transaction server to cause remittance instructions to be transmitted to respective client devices, reducing consumption of processing, memory, and network resources, and improving efficiency throughout the system.

Abstract: A landfill cap for covering a landfill has a gas-venting geotextile facing the landfill. A double-sided drain liner has a flexible fluid impervious barrier sheet with a lower surface facing the gas-venting geotextile and an upper surface opposite the lower surface. Lower truncated projections project from the lower surface of the barrier sheet and have blunt projecting ends supported in nonpenetrating contact with the gas-venting geotextile so that the barrier layer is spaced from the gas-venting geotextile and so that gas venting passages are defined between the lower truncated projections. Upper truncated projections project from the upper surface of the barrier sheet and have blunt projecting ends. A fluid permeable layer is supported in nonpenetrating contact on the blunt projecting ends of the upper truncated projections of the double-sided drain liner so that liquid drainage passages are defined between the upper truncated projections.

Abstract: Methods, systems, and apparatus, including medium-encoded computer program products include: obtaining first computer data comprising a simulation space including a grid of nodes; obtaining second computer data for two or more mobile entities, wherein the second computer data of each mobile entity includes a speed value and a deceleration value; and performing a discrete event travel simulation of the mobile entities in the simulation space. Each mobile entity moves along a respective path on the grid of nodes while avoiding collisions with the other mobile entities. Performing the discrete event travel simulation includes updating an allocation iterator that identifies a next node to be allocated along the path at a next node allocation time and a trailing iterator that identifies a trailing node along the path. The next node allocation time corresponds to a trailing node arrival time of the mobile entity to the trailing node.

Abstract: Methods, systems, and apparatus, including medium-encoded computer program products include: obtaining i) a simulation space comprising a grid of nodes, ii) a definition of one or more regions in the simulation space containing one or more nodes of the grid of nodes, wherein each region of the one or more regions is associated with a respective predetermined number of mobile entities allowed to be located simultaneously in the region, and iii) for each node of the grid of nodes, a region set identifier; and performing a discrete event travel simulation of two or more mobile entities without exceeding, for each region the one or more regions, the respective predetermined number of mobile entities allowed to be located simultaneously in the region.

Abstract: Verification systems are provided for verification of proper execution of control commands on remote devices. In some embodiments, the verification systems can include video cameras, audio sensors, thermal detectors, etc., to provide secondary sources of information by which to verify primary reports on a state of a remote device. Each device can be associated with a device profile defining operating characteristics of the remote device in various states. In some examples, device properties can also be defined based on a current state of the device and a received control command. In some examples, the device profiles are models of expected device properties that can used to verify proper execution of control commands. In some embodiments, detection of state mismatch can trigger a variety of actions by the system to mediate the mismatched state according to a variety of control rules.

Abstract: A radio frequency sclerotherapy system includes a needle assembly with a thin (26 to 32 gauge) solid conductive needle, about 1.25 inches long. A multilayer coating is applied over a proximal portion of the needle leaving an uncoated distal tip, about 0.10 inches long, exposed. The multilayer coating is an electric and thermal insulator. An electrical plug electrically coupled to the proximal end of the wire. The multilayer coating provides a palpable transition. A generator supplies voltages in the range of 300V to ?100V, at frequencies of 1 MHz to 50 MHz, with voltage spikes having a time from rise to fall of up to 100 nS and a low voltage between voltage spikes for about twice the duration of the time from rise to fall of the voltage spikes.
