Abstract: The present invention provides a medical device securement system (10) for releasably anchoring a medical device (C) such as a catheter hub to the skin of a patient. The system (10) comprises a main body having a first section (14) and a second section (16) displaceable relative to one another to translate the system between an undeployed and a deployed state, a skin adhering element in the form of microneedle arrays projecting from a tissue contacting surface of the first section (14) and a second array of microneedles projecting from a tissue contacting surface of the second section (16), a retention device (24) provided on the main body for receiving and engaging the medical device (C), wherein the first section (14) comprises a first base defining the tissue contacting surface and a closure member (20) hingedly articulated relative to the first base.

Abstract: The disclosure relates to a system (10) for monitoring and/or controlling one or more chemical plant(s) (12), wherein the system (10) comprises a first processing layer (14) associated with the chemical plant (12) and communicatively coupled to a second processing layer (16), wherein the first processing layer (14) and the second processing layer (16) are configured in a secure network (18, 20), wherein the first processing layer (14) provides process or asset specific data (22) of the chemical plant (12) to the second processing layer (16), wherein the second processing layer (16) is configured to contextualize process or asset specific data to generate plant specific data and to provide plant specific data (24) of one or more chemical plant(s) (12) to an interface (26) to an external network.

Abstract: A system (10) for monitoring and/or controlling one or more chemical plant(s) (12) including at least one processing layer (14, 16, 32, 34), wherein the at least one processing layer (14, 16, 32, 34) is associated with a secure network (20) and communicatively coupled to an interface (26) for providing process or asset specific data or process applications to an external processing layer (30), wherein the at least one processing layer (14, 16, 32, 34) is configured to add a transfer tag to the process or asset specific data or to the process application and to provide the process or asset specific data or the process application based on the transfer tag.

Abstract: This disclosure is directed to compositions and methods for utilizing the boundaries of the C-terminal domains of Nucleoprotein from Zaire Ebola virus as highly stable recombinant protein antigens to generate antibodies for diagnosis and treatment of Ebola virus infection.

Abstract: A system for routing data in an automatic identification system includes an event management system (EMS), a real-time in-memory data structure (RIED) coupled to the EMS, the RIED for storing event information gathered by the EMS and a task management system (TMS) for ensuring that the RIED is updated by one transaction at a time. With this particular arrangement, a system for managing a large number of real-time events is provided. In one embodiment, the control system can be provided in a distributed hierarchical arrangement. The EMS of each control system can include filters which limit the amount of information provided to the next level in the hierarchy. In this manner the hierarchical control system network acts as a high volume data collector and processor. In some embodiments a level of the hierarchy can be removed spatially and/or temporally from an adjacent level in the hierarchy. This approach results in an intelligent network and also lends itself to scalability.
