Abstract: An automatic injection device is provided, where the device includes a syringe carrier and a retraction assembly. The syringe carrier may include two identical parts that are discrete from one another and interlock with one another. Carrier includes a cushion to support the syringe. Protrusions may be provided on cushion to further support syringe. The retraction assembly includes a shuttle and a follower, the follower having a moveable latch. The follower has a coupled configuration in which the latch is biasedly coupled to the shuttle, and a decoupled configuration in which the latch is in sliding engagement with a curvilinear surface of the shuttle.

Abstract: A lighting device may include one or more light sources, a load control circuit configured to control an amount of power delivered to each of the one or more light sources, and a control circuit for controlling the load control circuit to control an intensity level and a color of the cumulative light emitted by the one or more light sources. The control circuit may be configured to generate a show. For example, the control circuit may be configured to receive, via the communication circuit, show information and auxiliary information from a computing device in one or more messages. The control circuit may be configured to store the show information and the auxiliary information in memory of the lighting device. The control circuit may be configured to receive, via the communication circuit, a command to execute a show in a message, and in response, generate the show.

Abstract: A container system includes a first corrugated paper container and a second corrugated paper container. The first corrugated paper container has a slot formed in a first side thereof. The second corrugated paper container is disposed adjacent to the first corrugated paper container. The second corrugated paper container has a retaining tab formed from a side of the second corrugated paper container. The retaining tab extends into the slot of the first container so as to couple the first corrugated paper container to the second corrugated paper container.

Abstract: Polynomial regression models are used to reduce errors in measurements of pseudorange between a GNSS satellite and a receiving station; for data compression by replacing a large number of measurements with a small number of coefficients of the model polynomial, optionally combined with modeling residuals; for extrapolating usefully accurate estimates of future range between the GNSS satellite and the receiving station; and for providing usefully accurate estimates of future coefficient values of the polynomial regression models themselves.

Abstract: Compact modular cassette systems and methods for the synthesis of radiopharmaceutical products are provided, the compact modular cassette system including a modular unit having valve plates, a reaction cassette, a reagent pack, and other seal and connector plates to ensure that reagents can be mixed together inside one or more chambers of the reaction cassette in a timely and efficient manner. When a new chamber for each new reaction or process should be used, a valveless modular system having removable reaction cassettes and the reagent packs may be used. In such a system, the reagent container, the reaction cassette, or both, can be removed from the modular cassette system and discarded after a desired reaction or process has taken place.

Abstract: An adaptive method by which Differential GNSS corrections may be compressed. Each measurement datum to be transmitted to a rover for satellite navigation purposes is decomposed into two parts, namely, an anchor value and a delta value, and in some instances an added third part termed a nonce value is used. Encoding parameters such as the number of bits assigned to each part of the measurement datum, the order of the models used to convey positional data, and scaling constants in the models, are adjusted adaptively based on changing data and/or transmission medium characteristics. Adaptive compression also allows for anomalous conditions such as out-of-range data values to be handled gracefully.

Abstract: Provided are analogs of methylphenidate (“MPH”) that are useful for the treatment of drug addiction, attention deficit disorder, attention deficit hyperactivity disorder, and depression. The MPH analogs are extended duration compounds that bind to the dopamine transporter and the reuptake of dopamine in the afflicted individual's brain. Because of the extended duration of the MPH analogs, administration of the compounds is only required on a once or twice daily schedule.

Abstract: A transmit/receive switch for a system operating over a range of frequencies is provided. The switch comprises a pair of quadrature hybrid circuits and a switching means for coupling the pair of circuits. When the switch is operating in a transmit mode, the hybrid circuits provide a low loss path between a transmitter. When the switch is operating in a receive mode, the hybrid circuits provide a high isolation from the RF coil to a pre-amplifier.
