Abstract: Various arrangements disclosed herein relate to dynamically determining a length of cable to provision for charging an electric vehicle, including a sensor to detect a characteristic of the electric vehicle, a data processing system configured to determine, based at least in part on the characteristic, a position of a charge port of the vehicle and to determine, based at least in part on the position of the charge port of the vehicle, a distance between a charging apparatus and the charge port of the vehicle. The charging apparatus includes a cable dispenser configured to provide a length of a segment of a cable based on the distance between the charging apparatus and the charge port.

Abstract: An intubation device assembly includes an intubation device, an optical imaging device attached to the intubation device, an image display device attached to the intubation device, a first position sensor operatively connected to the image display device, a second position sensor operatively connected to the intubation device, and a force sensor operatively connected to the intubation device. A controller operates the image display device to display a video image of the optical imaging device and at least one parameter corresponding to an operation of at least one of the optical imaging device, the first position sensor, the second position sensor, and the force sensor. The controller further determines an orientation of a screen of the image display device according to an operation of the first position sensor. The controller displays the least one parameter in a position on the screen according to the orientation of the screen.

Abstract: A method of displaying information associated with an application of an intubation device includes detecting an orientation of a screen attached to the intubation device, and setting a template for displaying values of a parameter associated with one of the plurality of sensors in a display window on the screen according to the orientation of the screen. The method includes receiving data from the plurality of sensors, and continuously displaying a video image from an optical imaging device during an intubation of a patient and periodically displaying on a portion of the screen a display window including a value of the parameter according to the data received instead of a part of the video image. Setting the template includes setting a frequency of display, a size, or a color for the parameter.

Abstract: A method of approximating a position of an oxygen mask during a procedure includes detecting a presence of the oxygen mask based on a signal from a sensor or through an observation through an optical imaging device; determining whether the oxygen mask is close to or on a patient for supplying oxygen to the patient; detecting a removal of the oxygen mask from the patient to stop supplying oxygen to the patient; initiating a desaturation timer in response to the sensor or the optical imaging device detecting the removal of the oxygen mask from the patient; and operating an image display device to display a parameter for the oxygen desaturation timer.

Abstract: Methods of inhibiting the growth of tumors comprising administering chimeric fusion molecules comprising endostatin mutants and all or a portion of anti-Her2 or anti-EGFR antibodies.

Abstract: A device is presented having reversibly changeable and optically readable optical properties. The device comprises a substrate having an electrically conductive surface and carrying a redox-active layer structure. The redox-active layer structure may be a monolayer or a multi-layer structure and is configured to have at least one predetermined electronic property including at least one of electrodensity and oxidation state. The electronic property of the layer structure defines an optical property of the structure thereby determining an optical response of the structure to certain incident light. This at least one electronic property is changeable by subjecting the redox-active layer structure to an electric field or to a redox-active material. The device thus enables effecting a change in said electronic property that results in a detectable change in the optical response of the layer structure.
