Abstract: A surgical drape support for positioning on a patient's chest to support a drape above the patient's nose and mouth includes a main arch defining an inner main surface, an outer main surface, a main crown, a first main base edge, and a second main base edge. A first lower foot extends downward from the first main base edge and away from the outer main surface. A second lower foot extends downward from the second main base edge and away from the outer main surface. A first upper foot and a second upper foot extend upwards and away from the outer main surface to a position above the main crown. When the first lower foot and the second lower foot are positioned on the patient's chest they are configured to support the drape over the patient's nose and mouth.

Abstract: An article of clothing provides workers or users with a modifiable or transformable bottom garment which may be arranged in a functional, work configuration or a more aesthetic, non-work configuration by selectively folding a cover assembly downward or upward relative to the bottom garment. When folded downward, the cover assembly may reveal functional elements such as tool-supporting loops, pockets, etc., and/or may provide an inner surface for the wearer to clean their hands. When folded upward, a pocket is instead formed between the cover assembly and the bottom garment, for the wearer to warm their hands. One or more inserts may be connected to the downward-folded cover assembly to provide additional utilities or functions.

Abstract: A system and method including one or more conduits, a pump system, and a controller. The conduits are fluidly coupled with a cooling device that is operably coupled with an engine to cool at least a portion of exhaust from the engine. The pump system pumps a cleaning fluid from a cleaning fluid source through the one or more conduits and into a flow path of a portion of the exhaust from the engine while the engine continues to operate. The controller monitors operation of the engine and determines whether the engine is operating in a designated state. The controller controls the pump system to pump the cleaning fluid into the flow path of a portion the exhaust from the engine to clean the cooling device while the engine operates in the designated state and the exhaust flows from the engine and through the cooling device.

Abstract: A method that includes coupling an external, removable fuel pressurization system to a fuel system of a vehicle. The fuel system of the vehicle is pressurized with the fuel pressurization system while the vehicle is parked and without activating a fuel consumer (e.g., an engine) of the vehicle. Decay of pressure of the fuel system is monitored following pressurization of the fuel system, and one or more of a leak, or a replaceable component, of the fuel system of the vehicle is detected based on at least in part on the decay of pressure that are monitored.

Abstract: The technology disclosed herein enables incorporation of feature sets of a unified communications system and a contact center system. In a particular embodiment, a method includes, in a contact center system, in response to an agent logging into the contact center system, establishing a first connection between the contact center system and a unified communications endpoint operated by the agent. The first connection is established using a unified communications system that services the unified communications endpoint. After establishing the first connection, the method includes identifying a call on a second connection between the contact center system and a second endpoint operated by a user. In response to selecting the agent to handle the call, the method includes bridging the first connection and the second connection.

Abstract: A system and method operate by, while an engine is operating, automatically determining whether the engine is in a designated state for EGR cooler cleaning. The EGR cooler is operably coupled to the engine to receive hot EGR from an exhaust of the engine and to provide cooled EGR to an intake of the engine. The system and method also include, responsive to the engine not being in the designated state, automatically preventing a water pump system from introducing a cleaning liquid into a gas inlet of the EGR cooler.

Abstract: A method that includes coupling an external, removable fuel pressurization system to a fuel system of a vehicle while the vehicle remains in a confined space. The fuel system of the vehicle is pressurized with the fuel pressurization system while the vehicle remains in the confined space and without activating an engine of the vehicle. Decay of pressure of the fuel system is monitored following pressurization of the fuel system, and one or more of a leak, or a replaceable component, of the fuel system of the vehicle is detected based on at least in part on the decay of pressure that are monitored.

Abstract: A thermal heat storage system is provided, including a storage tank, a heat injection system and a heat recovery system. The storage tank holds a material for thermal storage. The heat injection system is coupled to an intake on the storage tank. The heat recovery system is coupled to an output on the storage tank and also uses vapor under depressurized conditions for heat transfer.

Abstract: A level of detail node may hold in a bounding volume hierarchy, an object identifier, a distance at which a transition occurs between levels of detail and a bias. When a level of detail node is encountered in the hierarchy, the distance value may be used to select a level of detail. Sometimes a different level of detail is loaded because the preferred level is not available. The different level may be marked in a register. Then for a subsequence frame, the correct level is used. A node bias may be used to override the level of detail selection is some cases.
