Abstract: A peristaltic pump apparatus for a medical device has a housing, a motor, a first peristaltic pump head, a second peristaltic pump head, a first clutch assembly, and a second clutch assembly. The motor is directly connected to the housing and has a rotatable drive shaft. Each of the first peristaltic pump head and the second peristaltic pump head is coupled to the rotatable drive shaft. The first clutch assembly has a first rotor fixedly connected to the rotatable drive shaft and a first stator directly connected to the housing. The first clutch assembly is configured to selectively electromagnetically couple the first rotor to the first peristaltic pump head. The second clutch assembly has a second rotor fixedly connected to the rotatable drive shaft and a second stator directly connected to the housing. The second clutch assembly selectively electromagnetically couples the second rotor to the second peristaltic pump head.

Abstract: The invention relates to a system and method to cause an apparatus to perform at least the following; identifying music preferences by understanding the listening history of a user from one or more context signals associated with a user mobile device.

Abstract: A method includes acquiring with a scanning device a scan frame comprising a point cloud comprising a first plurality of points, attributing each of the first plurality of points with a selected metric, filtering an existing map comprised of a second plurality of points based, at least in part, on the selected metric and localizing each of the first plurality of points to the filtered second plurality of points.

Abstract: An advertisement gateway that provides an interface for multiple user devices and multiple advertisement sources to communicate is presented. The advertisement gateway is capable of translating advertisement requests from a user device in a particular format into another format that is compatible with an advertisement source. Conversely, the advertisement gateway can translate advertisement responses from an advertisement source in a particular format into another format that is compatible with the requesting device. In this manner, the advertisers only have to develop an advertisement using a single protocol and format (i.e., the protocol to communicate with the advertisement source) and still be able to provide their advertisements to a wide variety of user devices.
