Abstract: The present disclosure provides skirt panel systems for a post-frame building, comprising: one or more precast skirt panels, each of the precast skirt panels having an outer surface to be oriented away from the interior of the post-frame building, an inner surface to be oriented towards the interior of the post-frame building, a top, a bottom, and two opposing ends, each of the precast skirt panels configured for attachment to at least one post of the post-frame building, and each of the precast skirt panels configured for abutting each other end-to-end to form a skirt wall on the post-frame building; and an attachment apparatus for attaching the one or more precast skirt panels to the at least one post. The present disclosure also provides methods for constructing a post-frame building using such systems.

Abstract: Examples relate to devices, systems, and methods for fluid collection such as urine. In an embodiment, the urine collection device includes a fluid impermeable barrier and fluid permeable structure. The fluid impermeable barrier is adjustable between an extended configuration and a compact configuration. The fluid impermeable barrier at least partially defines a chamber, an aperture configured to receive a conduit therethrough, and an opening. The fluid permeable structure positioned within the chamber to extend across at least a portion of the opening. The fluid permeable structure configured to wick fluid away from the opening.

Abstract: Examples relate to devices, systems, and methods for fluid collection such as urine. A urine collection system (100) includes a urine collection device (102) and a sizing device (150) secured or securable to the urine collection device (100). The sizing device (150) includes a body (152) and a recess (185). The body (152) has a distal end (160) and an attachment end (155) distal to the distal end (160). The attachment end (155) defines an opening (180), and the recess (185) extends into the body (152) from the opening (180). The recess (185) is sized and dimensioned to receive a portion of the urine collection device (102) and secure the sizing device (150) to the urine collection device (102).

Abstract: A system to generate orientation maps includes a measurement system configured to capture a plurality images of a sample and a computing device in operable communication with the measurement system. The computing device is configured to align the plurality of images of the sample and process the aligned plurality of images to detect one or more regions of interest. The computing device is also configured to generate one or more electron channeling patterns (ECPs) corresponding to the sample based on the one or more regions of interest. The computing device is further configured to generate an orientation map of the sample based on the one or more ECPs.

Abstract: Embodiments disclosed herein are related to assemblies, systems, and methods of using fluid collection assemblies and systems. The assemblies, systems, and methods of using fluid collection assemblies and systems include at least one shape memory material for forming and maintaining the fluid collection assembly into a selected shape. The shape memory material may enable for selective manipulation of the fluid collection assembly to contour to the anatomical features of variously sized patients.

Abstract: The present invention generally relates to the fabrication of molecular electronics devices from molecular wires and Single Wall Nanotubes (SWNT). In one embodiment, the cutting of a SWNT is achieved by opening a window of small width by lithography patterning of a protective layer on top of the SWNT, followed by applying an oxygen plasma to the exposed SWNT portion. In another embodiment, the gap of a cut SWNT is reconnected by one or more difunctional molecules having appropriate lengths reacting to the functional groups on the cut SWNT ends to form covalent bonds. In another embodiment, the gap of a cut SWNT gap is filled with a self-assembled monolayer from derivatives of novel contorted hexabenzocoranenes. In yet another embodiment, a device based on molecular wire reconnecting a cut SWNT is used as a sensor to detect a biological binding event.
