Abstract: An image of a sample collection device is captured. The image of the sample collection device is analyzed to determine whether the sample collection device includes a sufficient amount of fluid sample. The image of the sample collection device is validated based on a result of the image analysis.

Abstract: An example method includes receiving, at a CPU, a data request from a data requester to search or filter data in a repository. At least a first portion of the data is homomorphically encrypted. The method includes analyzing the stored data without decrypting the homomorphically encrypted data to determine an aggregated subset of data relevant to the data request. The analyzing includes: dispatching, from the CPU, a command to a hardware accelerator to execute an operation on the homomorphically encrypted data; executing, at the hardware accelerator, the operation on the homomorphically encrypted data; and receiving, at the CPU, an output of the execution of the operation by the hardware accelerator, where the aggregated subset of data is based on the output. The method includes providing data request results that include or are derived from the aggregated subset of data to the data requester.

Abstract: Techniques for patient medical care are disclosed. These techniques include identifying a plurality of prescriptions for fulfillment by a pharmacist for a patient. The techniques further include providing the prescriptions for presentation on a first screen of a user interface (UI) and receiving a selection of at least two of the plurality of prescriptions, based on input to the UI. The techniques further include identifying supplies associated with the at least two prescriptions, and providing the supplies for presentation on a second screen of the UI that is accessible based on input to the first screen. The techniques further include receiving a selection of a first supply, based on input to the UI, and fulfilling the at least two prescriptions and the first supply, including triggering delivery of the at least two prescriptions and the first supply for treatment of the patient using a medical therapy.

Abstract: Methods and systems are provided for a battery system which comprises a plurality of battery cells housed inside a battery enclosure of a battery pack, a venting system, and a suppressing agent. The venting system comprises a dual-staged venting valve that equalizes pressure during normal operation of the battery system and a vent valve that opens to relieve pressure during a high pressure or temperature event. The suppressing agent is released into the enclosure of the battery pack to reduce further reactions by removing or limiting oxidants within the battery pack. A solenoid is coupled to the dual-staged venting valve and seals the dual-staged venting valve following release of the suppressing agent, allowing for the suppressing agent to remain in the enclosure for a longer period of time in order to provide increased mitigation of future thermal events in the battery enclosure.

Abstract: An iron-air battery including an iron electrode in contact with an anode current collector, wherein the iron electrode includes a plurality of channels; an oxygen reduction reaction electrode having a first surface facing the plurality of channels and an opposing second surface in contact with air; an oxygen evolution reaction electrode interdigitated with the plurality of channels of the iron electrode, wherein at least a portion of the oxygen evolution reaction electrode is disposed within the plurality of channels in a direction perpendicular to a plane of the oxygen reduction reaction electrode; and an electrolyte in contact with the iron electrode, the first surface of the oxygen reduction reaction electrode, the plurality of channels, and the oxygen evolution reaction electrode.

Abstract: Systems and methods for electric motor cooling. The cooling system, in one example, includes a sealing ring coupled to or formed in a stator and including a flange that axially extends outward from an axial side of the stator. The cooling system further includes a first sealing sleeve with a first sealing interface that is formed between the sealing sleeve and a motor housing and a second sealing interface that is formed between the sealing sleeve and the flange, where a cavity is formed between the sealing sleeve and the sealing ring in which a stator end winding is at least partially immersed in a coolant.

Abstract: A projectile designed to be lead-free and have a ballistic coefficient ranging from about 0.13 to about 0.80 or greater for enhanced energy/performance at extended ranges may have an elongated body formed with a jacket including a wall having an end defining an ogive portion and a cavity or recess defined within the jacket and in which a core is received. The projectile can be configured in various calibers and sizes. The projectile core may be formed from a plurality of core sections, and at least one of the plurality of core sections may include tungsten powder and a lead-free binder material pressed together to form a substantially cylindrical shape or compact. One or more of the core sections further can be sintered, and the one or more core sections may be received in an end-to-end relationship within the cavity defined by the jacket to form a stacked, sectional core.

Abstract: According to an aspect, an electrochemical cell may include a vessel, at least two instances of an anode assembly, at least two instances of an oxygen evolution electrode (OEE), and a gas diffusion electrode (GDE). In the vessel, the GDE may be disposed between mirrored arrangements of the at least two instances of the OEE and the at least two instances of the anode assembly.

Abstract: Techniques are described for orchestration of measurements between a plurality of devices in a wireless network. In an example, a computing system configured to orchestrate round-trip time (RTT) measurements in a network of a plurality of wireless devices comprises one or more processors and a memory comprising instructions that when executed by the one or more processors, cause the one or more processors to: generate a network graph of the plurality of wireless devices in which each wireless device pair of a plurality of wireless device pairs of the network graph is connected by an edge assigned to an identifier, wherein each edge of at least two adjacent edges is assigned a different identifier; and orchestrate the RTT measurements such that RTT measurements between wireless device pairs connected by edges assigned to a same identifier are performed in parallel.

Abstract: Described herein are methods for treating atopic dermatitis that allows for the effective treatment of the disease with an interruption period if certain adverse events are observed. Additionally, described here are new methods of treating moderate to severe atopic dermatitis.

Abstract: Provided are methods of treatment of alopecia areata comprising prescribing and/or administering to an individual in need thereof a standard dose of (R)-2-(7-(4-cyclopentyl-3-(trifluoromethyl)benzyloxy)-1,2,3,4-tetrahydrocyclopenta[b]indol-3-yl)acetic acid (Compound 1), or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof.

Abstract: A network management system (NMS) automatically determines locations of deployed access points (APs) in a wireless network. The system identifies clusters of APs, wherein each AP in a cluster is a member of at least one robust quad, and wherein each robust quad in the cluster has three APs in common with another robust quad in the cluster. The NMS identifies one of the plurality of clusters as a gxlobal cluster and the remaining plurality of clusters as local clusters. The NMS determines coordinates of each node in the global cluster based on the coordinates of the anchor APs in the global coordinate system. For each local cluster, the NMS transforms the coordinates of each AP from the respective local coordinate system to the global coordinate system.

Abstract: In one embodiment, a web page stored in a first server computer includes a reference to a wrapping code stored in a second server computer. The wrapping code may be pulled into a client computer when the page is downloaded to the client computer. Upon execution in the client computer, the wrapping code may add a functionality to the web page. The functionality added by the wrapping code may be activated along with a pre-existing functionality of the web page in response to a user interaction with the web page.
