Abstract: Generally discussed herein are devices, systems, and methods for adaptive authorization using a local route as a named location. A method can include defining a local route and a corresponding local route endpoint, associating a compute resource as a destination of the local route endpoint, defining an adaptive authorization policy that limits access to the compute resource to be through the local route endpoint, and enforcing access to the compute resource based on the defined adaptive authorization policy.

Abstract: A flat shower is a drainage fitting for the evacuation of surface and weeping water arising from showering on a tiled surface, where the tiling installation method is thinset, that is, where the tiles are adhered directly to membrane placed on top of a sloping medium such as mortar or foam installed directly to the subfloor. The height of such tile installations being minimal, a novel, minimal height flat drain assembly comprised of angle bar at the shower wall or flat bar in the midst of the flat tile floor, and said bar(s) then made contiguous with a floor drain membrane, is described.

Abstract: A trap is formed from two instances of a standard part, the ninety degree elbow, and a two-part ninety degree elbow that has a cross-section that runs from circular at the upstream spigot to ovoid at the juncture of the two parts back to circular at the downstream hub. All of the rules that bind trap design in building codes can still be accommodated in this trap architecture. Moreover, the ability of the critical flattened elbow part to be formed from two plastic parts with standard line-of-draw cores reduces entry cost of fabrication. Access to the interior of the parts also allows for novel internal coating strategies. Most importantly for installation, the height of whole trap is reduced by squishing the trap diameter to a degree that a significant drop in trap height is achieved. This decrease in trap height can be sufficient to allow the trap to be accommodated in the reduced height of a vertical space between an underlying ceiling and the underside of the lowered subfloor.

Abstract: Systems and methods for estimating a state of charge of a hearing aid rechargeable battery for rapid user feedback and charge management are provided. The method includes detecting a rechargeable battery of a hearing aid received at a battery charger. The method includes retrieving a last state of charge (SoC) of the rechargeable battery and a time in use of the rechargeable battery. The time in use is a time the hearing aid is out of the battery charger. The method includes estimating a current state of charge (SoC) of the rechargeable battery based on the last SoC and the time in use of the rechargeable battery. The method includes causing a display of the battery charger to present the estimated current SoC.

Abstract: Toward the enabling of cleaning schedules involving one or more chemical treatments for the disinfection of healthcare room sink drainsets to avoid nosocomial infections arising from the vectoring of drain pathogenic bacteria, a blockable novel connector is presented to connect a sink drainset to an existing wall stub leading to a drainage stack behind the wall. Multiple chemical soaks for the drainset can be enabled through elaboration of the blocking plug temporarily inserted into the adapter. Two configurations, sideways and upward, are possible to connect the wallbend straight to the connector, the upward allowing for orthogonal connection between the straight and the receiving hub of the connector whatever the angle an existing wall stub has to the wall upon which the sink is hung. Additional blocking plug technology can be enabled.
