Abstract: Methods for providing gaming advice are provided. For example, regarding a blackjack game, one or more first player cards are identified for a first player and one or more second player cards are identified for a second player. The first and second player cards are displayed to the first player. A probability associated with a first one of the plurality of playing options is determined based at least on a set of predetermined statistical blackjack data, the one or more first player cards, and the one or more second player cards. It is then determined, based at least on the determined probability associated with the first playing option, whether to display a first indication corresponding with first advice regarding the first playing option, a second indication corresponding with second advice regarding the first playing option, or a third indication corresponding with third advice regarding the first playing option.

Abstract: A field-replaceable unit is reversibly secured in place using two captive fasteners. Each fastener includes a telescoping knob that rotates 180 degrees in a first direction to engage a latch mechanism and rotates 180 degrees in the opposite direction to disengage the latch mechanism. The knob automatically extends when the latch mechanism is disengaged. The knob alternately extends and retracts in response to being successively pressed when the latch mechanism is engaged. The knob has two cutaways formed along outside edges to facilitate a two-finger grip for knob rotation and pulling the unit out of another module. A circular groove centered on an axis of rotation of the knob has a contrasting coloration and provides a visual and tactile indication of know location. A nub indicates rotational position of the knob.

Abstract: Implantable devices and associated devices, systems, and methods are disclosed herein. The devices and systems of the present technology may be equipped with electronic components that provide a platform for remote patient and/or device monitoring. Operation of an implantable devices and/or one or more components thereof can be modulated over time depending on certain conditions. This modulation can include limiting wireless data communication with external devices to certain time intervals, varying parameters of data collection by sensing elements, and/or controlling power supplied to electronic components, for example. In some examples, an implantable device may operate in a low-power standby state in which data is obtained via sensing elements and stored in local data storage, but the data is not wirelessly transmitted to an external device until a modulation signal is received by the implantable device, causing the implantable device to change to a more active power state.

Abstract: A corner post application system for a load having corners includes corner post applicators and moveable corner post holders. The corner post applicators include a corner post gripper configured to grasp a corner post, with the corner post applicators configured to move the corner post to a corner of the load. The corner post holders each have a clamp and are moveable between a retracted position and an engaged position, where in the engaged position the clamp is configured to engage a respective corner post to press the corner post against the load at the respective corner. When the corner post holders are in the engaged position the corner post applicators are configured to be retracted with the corner posts being held in engagement with the corners of the load by the corner post holders to enable an enveloping machine to initiate placement of a film over the load.

Abstract: Provided herein are methods and uses involving the combination of an anti-CD20 antibody, e.g., rituximab with a protein therapeutic, for example, an antibody (e.g., an antibody that specifically binds to human CD47).

Abstract: A system including a gearbox and a hydraulic machine connected by a working fluid circuit. The gearbox including a gearbox housing having first and second gearbox fluid passages integrated into the gearbox housing. The hydraulic machine including a case having first and second hydraulic machine fluid passages, the first and second hydraulic machine fluid passages being integrated into the case. A set of rotating elements enclosed within the case. The first gearbox fluid passage and the first hydraulic machine fluid passage align to form a feed passage to conduct fluid at a first pressure from a first source to the set of rotating elements. The second gearbox fluid passage and the second hydraulic machine fluid passage align to form a charge passage to conduct fluid at a second pressure from a second source to the set of rotating elements. The first pressure being less than the second pressure.

Abstract: A method for processing patient data includes prompting a patient to complete a survey based on one or more of data received from an implantable medical device, a first time from an enrollment in a study related to the implantable medical device, a second time since a last survey, a medical event, or a detection of the patient in a geofenced area. The method may further include receiving input from the patient in response to the survey, and sending the input from the patient to a database.
