Abstract: Embodiments of the present disclosure provide a surgical robot system may include an end-effector element configured for controlled movement and positioning and tracking of surgical instruments and objects relative to an image of a patient's anatomical structure. In some embodiments the end-effector may be tracked by surgical robot system and displayed to a user. In some embodiments the end-effector element may be configured to restrict the movement of an instrument assembly in a guide tube. In some embodiments, the end-effector may contain structures to allow for magnetic coupling to a robot arm and/or wireless powering of the end-effector element. In some embodiments, tracking of a target anatomical structure and objects, both in a navigation space and an image space, may be provided by a dynamic reference base located at a position away from the target anatomical structure.

Abstract: Activity-inducible fusion proteins whose activity is post-translationally regulated utilizing a hsp90 binding domain and a drug molecule are described. In the absence of the drug molecule, the activity-inducible fusion proteins are inactivated but can be activated by a relevant physiological parameter in the presence of the drug molecule. Examples of the activity-inducible fusion proteins include chimeric antigen receptors (CAR) wherein the relevant physiological parameter is antigen binding.

Abstract: An anti-theft device for securing an article of merchandise against unauthorized removal from a display counter. The anti-theft device comprises a latch plate and a pedestal having a quick-release interface. The latch plate is configured to selectively couple to the quick-release interface. A latch bolt is disposed within the pedestal. The latch bolt locks the latch plate relative to the quick-release interface. A plurality of retaining arms is configured to receive and retain an article of merchandise. The retaining arms cannot be disengaged from the article of merchandise while the latch plate is locked relative to the quick-release interface. A solenoid is housed within the pedestal and operationally connected to the latch bolt. The solenoid is configured to retract the latch bolt into a position in which the latch bolt disengages the latch plate, thereby releasing the latch plate from the quick-release interface.

Abstract: Provided is a method for a basketball training device comprising a blocking module secured to a retaining element, in which the blocking module and the retaining element are configured such that the blocking module extends from the chest of a wearer and is adapted to impede the wearer from moving a basketball ball into a defensive hand zone of the wearer.

Abstract: A washing appliance for efficient and through cleaning of medical devices and methods of using the appliance are disclosed. The appliance can clean exteriors of medical devices, and lumens of devices comprising a lumen such as cathlab devices.

Abstract: Method for reducing ocean temperatures and enhancing alkalinity, the method cited here both reduces ocean acidification and helps lower ocean water temperature by reflecting the sun with a froth flotation of bubbles, a method when used in areas of coral reef improves the conditions necessary for coral reef growth, the method consists of first locating a dispersing source, such as a boat or other device able to position itself over a coral reef, or in any ocean section, second creating a froth flotation of bubbles with alkaline and other minerals attached, and then third dispersing the froth flotation consisting of bubbles with minerals attached, over the coral reefs, and then having the bubbles to reflect the sun rays to lower ocean temperature, the method also allows the alkaline minerals to disengage from the bubbles over time, reducing the acidification levels in the ocean and around coral reefs.

Abstract: A contact center system can track and evaluate dialogue data, telephony data, and/or application usage data associated with communication sessions between customers and representatives. The contact center system can identify communication sessions that have dialogue data containing keywords of one or more keyword categories, such as keyword categories associated with perceptions of high customer effort, and/or based on values of other key performance indicators. Users can use the contact center system to investigate the dialogue data, telephony data, and/or application usage data for identified communication sessions, for example to identify opportunities to train representatives to use alternate language during communication sessions, revise procedures in the contact center, or otherwise reduce perceptions of customer effort.

Abstract: Protective eyewear comprising a pair of eye pieces, each defining one of two opposing inner lateral surfaces spaced by a nose bridge. At least one of the inner lateral surfaces comprises a slot for slidably and releasably engaging a locating rib provided on said nose bridge. Said slot comprises a slot locking element and said nose bridge comprises a nose bridge locking element. In a use configuration with the locating rib of the nose bridge engaged within the slot, the slot locking element and the nose bridge locking element cooperate within said slot to releasably secure the locating rib within the slot.
