  • Ligature Resistant Swinging Door System
    Publication number: 20220282565
    Abstract: A swinging door assembly includes a frame mount, a door panel, and a pivot assembly operably connecting the door panel to the frame mount such that the door panel is pivotable in two opposite directions from a closed position to first and second opened positions. When the door panel is pivoted in the first direction by an angle less than a threshold angle, or is pivoted in the second direction by an angle less than the threshold angle, the door panel is biased toward the closed position by virtue of a weight of the door panel, and when the door panel is pivoted in the first direction by an angle greater than or equal to the threshold angle, or is pivoted in the second direction by an angle greater than or equal to the threshold angle, the door panel is no longer biased toward the closed position.

  • OCULAR DELIVERY SYSTEMS AND METHODS
    Publication number: 20220280339
    Abstract: Described here are systems and methods for accessing Schlemm's canal and for delivering an ocular device or fluid composition therein. The ocular devices may maintain the patency of Schlemm's canal without substantially interfering with transmural fluid flow across the canal. The fluid composition may be a viscoelastic fluid that is delivered into the canal to facilitate drainage of aqueous humor by disrupting the canal and surrounding trabeculocanalicular tissues. Tools for disrupting these tissues and minimally invasive methods for treating medical conditions associated with elevated intraocular pressure, including glaucoma, are also described.

  • PEDESTRIAN ROUTE GUIDANCE THAT PROVIDES A SPACE BUFFER
    Publication number: 20220282980
    Abstract: Aspects include detecting, at a first point in time, that a first person at a first location is within a vicinity of one or more other people and predicting, for each of the one or more people, a future location of the other person at a future point. The future point in time is subsequent to the first point in time and a confidence level is assigned to the prediction. A travel route from the first location to a destination location is generated based at least in part on the one or more predicted future locations and their assigned confidence levels. The generated travel route includes travel route locations that are more than a specified distance from at least one of the predicted future locations having an assigned confidence level greater than a confidence level threshold. Travel route guidance along the generated travel route is provided to the first person.
