Abstract: Coatings applicable to a variety of substrate articles, structures, materials, and equipment are described. In various applications, the substrate includes metal surface susceptible to formation of oxide, nitride, fluoride, or chloride of such metal thereon, wherein the metal surface is configured to be contacted in use with gas, solid, or liquid that is reactive therewith to form a reaction product that is deleterious to the substrate article, structure, material, or equipment. The metal surface is coated with a protective coating preventing reaction of the coated surface with the reactive gas, and/or otherwise improving the electrical, chemical, thermal, or structural properties of the substrate article or equipment. Various methods of coating the metal surface are described, and for selecting the coating material that is utilized.

Abstract: A conduit for a breathing circuit includes a heater associated, at least in part, with a hydrophilic layer. The purpose of the heater is to evaporate any condensed liquid collecting in the conduit, which is first sucked up by the hydrophilic layer. The heated wick reduces the risk of collected water being passed to the patient and causing choking fits or discomfit. It is preferred that the heated wick lies freely in the conduit to settle at low points in the conduit where condensation may collect.

Abstract: A prosthetic joint comprising: a proximal part having a proximal side, a distal side opposed to the proximal side, and a mounting point on the proximal side configured to connect to a proximal prosthetic limb part, a distal part configured to connect to a distal prosthetic limb part, a polycentric linkage mechanism connected to the proximal and distal parts and arranged to rotate the distal part from an extended position, where the distal part is disposed on the distal side of the proximal part, to a flexed position, where at least a portion of the distal part is disposed on the proximal side of the proximal part. The distal part is arranged to rotate relative to the proximal part about an instantaneous axis of rotation, the axis of rotation defining a medial-lateral axis of the proximal part. The linkage mechanism comprises a first linkage and a further pair of linkages, each of which are pivotally connected to the proximal and distal parts via respective connection points.

Abstract: Systems, methods, and devices for livestreaming via a head-wearable device are disclosed. Instructions that, when executed by a head-wearable device and/or a computing device, cause the head-wearable device and/or the computing device to perform the following. In accordance with a determination that the head-wearable device satisfies one or more capture criteria, the head-wearable device and/or the computing device: cause a display of the head-wearable device to present a first UI associated with an application, cause an imaging device of the head-wearable device to capture image data, and stream the image data to other devices. In accordance with a determination that the head-wearable device does not satisfy one or more capture criteria, the head-wearable device and/or the computing device: cause another display communicatively coupled with the computing device to present a second UI associated with the application and disable the imaging device of the head-wearable device.

Abstract: A programmable controller stores operational data for a number of embedded functions in multiple vehicles from one or more known manufacturers and is programmable to operation in a selected vehicle among the multiple vehicles.

Abstract: Methods of producing multiple protein products from blood-based materials including alpha-1-proteinase inhibitor, gamma globulin, albumin, and other proteins are described herein. The inventive methods include steps of: salt fractionation, chromatography, ultrafiltration, diafiltration, solvent-detergent treatment, and sterile filtration. Advantageously, the inventive methods are simple and produce alpha-1-proteinase inhibitor, gamma globulin, albumin, and other proteins in high yields. The sequence of process steps can be selected to obtain multiple products from various in-process materials, such as supernatants, pastes, chromatography flow-though, and chromatography washes.

Abstract: Described herein are compounds capable of modulating the level of activity of Serine/threonine protein kinase 3 (STK3) or serine/threonine protein kinase 4 (STK4), compositions, and methods of using these compounds and compositions.

Abstract: An automatic cruise control system on a motorcycle capable of performing an overtake maneuver via a long button press. The automatic cruise control includes a radar, a button, and a motorcycle speed. The radar is configured to detect objects in front of the motorcycle and generate data regarding the detected object. The button is configured to generate a button signal. The radar is further configured to receive the motorcycle speed, sensor data, and a button signal, and to generate an acceleration signal based upon the sensor data, the button signal, and the motorcycle speed.

Abstract: Described herein are compounds which are inhibitors of oncogenic and wild-type SHP2 and methods of treatment using SHP2 inhibitors.

Abstract: A supportive clothing article is provided for a wearable cardioverter defibrillator (WCDA belt includes a first end with a first portion of a fastener and a second end with a second portion of the fastener. The belt is structured to fasten around the torso of patient below the chest area of the patient. The belt includes a first conductive mesh portion adjacent the first end of the belt or the second end of the belt, two straps. A back portion extends from the belt at an intermediary position on the belt to each of the two straps. The back portion includes a conductive mesh, a first support receptacle attached to and extending from the belt and attachable to one of the two straps, and a second support receptacle attached to and extending from the belt and attachable to the other of the two straps.

Abstract: A locking cam for securing suspension components in a vehicle. The locking cam has at least one surface that is textured to create a surface for engagement against and with a frame member upon tightening of the suspension components. The textured surface can have ridges or projects for engagement with the frame member.

Abstract: Disclosed herein are embodiments of a wound treatment apparatus with electronic components integrated within a wound dressing. In some embodiments, a wound dressing apparatus can comprise a wound contact layer, an absorbent layer over the wound contact layer, the absorbent layer comprising one or more apertures, a cover layer configured to cover and form a seal over the wound contact layer and the absorbent layer, and an electronics assembly comprising a negative pressure source. A portion of the cover layer overlying the one or more apertures in the absorbent layer can be configured to be compressed within the aperture in the absorbent layer when negative pressure is applied to the wound dressing apparatus. The compressed cover layer can indicate a level of negative pressure below the cover layer. In some embodiments, the wound dressing apparatus can comprise an indicator material layer and a cover layer configured to cover and form a seal over the wound contact layer and the indicator material layer.
