Abstract: A delivery system for mixing and dispensing a gel stemming material into a blast hole is disclosed. The system includes a dual-pump assembly in fluid communication with respective sources of a first gel precursor fluid and a second gel precursor fluid; a pair of hoses associated with a means to vary an effective length of said hoses; a dosing head having a first inlet and a second inlet, said inlets arranged in respective fluid communication via said hoses with the dual pump assembly to receive the first and second gel precursor fluids, the dosing head being configured to receive and mix the first and second gel precursor fluids to produce the gel stemming material and to dispense the gel stemming material via an outlet. In use, the effective length of the hoses may be varied to position the dosing head and dispense the gel stemming material in the blast hole.

Abstract: A method, non-transitory computer readable medium, and system that manages remote access including receiving a reservation request from a client computing device to access a physical location at a future specified time period secured by one or more remote locking devices. A determination is made on when one or more stored criteria associated with the one or more remote locking devices have been satisfied by the requesting client computing device. An identifier for the requesting client computing device and an access code to unlock the one or more remote locking devices during the future specified time period which is accessible by the one or more remote locking devices without further communication with the remote access management computing device is provided when the determination indicates the one or more stored criteria are satisfied. Additionally, the access code to the requesting client computing device is provided when the determination indicates the one or more stored criteria are satisfied.

Abstract: A prosthetic processing apparatus (200) for use by a visually-impaired subject comprises at least one sensor (104) configured to capture and output physical information of a spatial field, an output interface (208) coupled to a sensory input device which is configured to apply a signal to a sensory pathway of the visually impaired subject, and a processor (202) operatively coupled to the sensor (104) and to the output interface (208). The processor (202) is configured to receive (402) the physical information of the spatial field from the sensor (104), and to process (404) the received information to identify one or more salient features of a predetermined category (such as edges, plane surfaces, human faces and/or bodies) within the spatial field.
