Abstract: Disclosed are pressure sensors including a die and an application-specific integrated circuit (ASIC) mounted on a top surface of a substrate. The pressure sensor can define an inner volume and a bottom opening configured to abut the substrate. The die and ASIC are mounted on the top surface of the substrate within the inner volume. The substrate defines a first aperture therethrough and the die defines a second aperture therethrough in a direction along an axis perpendicular to the substrate, the first aperture and the second aperture being aligned. Metallic barrier(s) disposed on a bottom surface of the substrate, circumferentially about the first aperture, can be at least partially coated with solder mask to reduce or prevent flow of unwanted materials past the metallic barriers and through the first aperture. The substrate can include electrical connection pads on the bottom surface configured to be in communication with a daughter board.

Abstract: The instant disclosure is directed to a heterogeneous fiber fluid reservoir for holding and delivering fluid. A reservoir may comprise a rod having a core component and a surrounding component. Each of the core component and the surrounding component may comprise fibers. The core component may have a first property, and the surrounding component may have a second property different from the first property, or the core component and the surrounding component may each have a different value or range of values for the same property. Alternatively, a reservoir may comprise a rod that includes fibers and has a cross-sectional diameter. At least one property of the rod may vary in value along the cross-sectional diameter of the rod. The property may include, for example, fiber bulk density, fiber diameter, fiber material, fiber morphology, fiber surface tension, capillary force, fluid absorption capacity, color, or combinations thereof.

Abstract: The present invention describes cannabinoid formulations that combine cannabinoids, such as CBD, with other active agents within the phenylethanoid class of compounds, such as oleocanthal, which, in combination, provide synergistic anti-inflammatory effects. These combination preparations are capable of increasing anti-inflammatory effects when compared to each individual compound alone, and are further capable of delivery through a variety of administration routes.

Abstract: A system to estimate consequences of an explosion includes a scenario generator to generate a scenario based on user input and scenario parameters; an explosive device model generator to generate an explosive device model based on the user input and explosive device parameters; a propagation of hazards modeler to model propagation of hazards into the scenario based on the user input and hazard parameters; an injury modeler to model injuries corresponding to modeling propagation of hazards into the scenario based on injury parameters; and an iteration and output generator to iterate by using additional iterative subsets of the parameters to generate the scenario, generate the explosive device model, model propagation of hazards, and model injuries, until parameter spaces of the parameters are covered. The iteration and output generator generates an injury record based injury outcomes from the modeling of injuries corresponding to the iterating.

Abstract: Embodiments provide inorganic mineral chelated compositions, cobalt compounds and compositions, and treatment compositions, and methods of making and using them. Mineral chelated compositions and cobalt compounds have been shown to improve plant health, plant emergence, crop yield, and plant resistance to disease and drought. The compositions described herein can be applied directly to seeds, soil, or plants, or they can be incorporated with existing agricultural treatments and processes, reducing cost and time for farmers to implement the methods described herein. Accordingly, the compositions can be used as a seed treatment, or they can be broadcast on soil, tilled in soil, placed in-furrow, mixed with other fertilizers or chemicals, side-dressed in the field, used as foliar treatments, or combinations thereof. Such methods provide valuable micronutrients in a highly bioavailable form to plants and soil.

A route between a dispensary storing the medication and a location of the user is determined for a delivery system. The medication is sent in a container from the dispensary to the location utilizing the route. An indication is given that the medication is available to the user. A confirmation is received that the medication has been received.

Abstract: Systems and methods for electrolytic spa sanitation are provided which control electrodes in a manner that extends the use of electrodes, reducing the frequency of replacement of electrodes. The system also incorporates electrodes that can be easily replaced by a user, further reducing the need to maintenance by trained service personnel. Systems and methods use measurements from ORP, pH, and temperature sensors to determine the amount of sanitizer necessary to be produced from the electrodes. The electrodes are capable or acting as either an anode or a cathode.

Abstract: Using a combination of jump rope, resistance band and boxing fitness instruments, one can get a robust anaerobic and aerobic exercise experience. However, traditional jump rope equipment requires the operator to be in a location that has ample height and space around them to accommodate the range of the rope being swung around the body. In addition, the ground surface that a traditional jump rope would be hitting may not always be ideal such as carpet, sand, and the like which diminishes the rhythm of the workout. The single unit multi-purpose jump fitness, boxing training and resistance strength device described herein eliminates the need for most of these restrictive considerations as there is no “rope” to jump over when in jump rope workout mode. Rather, the operator swings two specialized end handle units in a “jump rope” fashion while holding adjustable jump handles.

Abstract: A hollow core photonic bandgap optical fibre comprises: a cladding comprising capillaries in a hexagonal array and a hollow core formed by excluding a hexagonal group of nineteen capillaries from the centre of the hexagonal array. The core is inflated. A core size ratio is 1.26 or above, defined as a ratio of the core diameter to the cladding diameter normalized to the ratio of the core diameter to the cladding diameter in an undistorted hexagonal array; a first ring ratio is between 0.55 and 2.50, defined as a ratio of the length of radially aligned struts separating the capillaries of the first ring to the length of a strut in an undistorted hexagonal array; and a core node spacing is between 0.60 and 1.90, where defined as a ratio of a strut length around the core of a largest corner capillary and a strut length around the core of a smallest side capillary. The fabrication method comprises four different pressures for the core, corner capillary, side capillary and cladding.

Abstract: A stylus having an applied force-sensitive tip-switch is disclosed. The stylus includes a tip-switch responsive to a variable applied force. Control circuitry determines whether the tip-switch has made contact with an object and, if so, the magnitude of the applied force resulting from the contact. The circuitry then encodes a signal that varies with the magnitude of the applied force and transmits the encoded signal to a computing device, enabling the computing device to indicate the two- or three-dimensional path of the tip-switch in the stylus on a computer screen. The circuitry also monitors a manual override switch that activates an encoded override signal for interpretation and use by the computing device while indicating the path of the tip switch on a computer screen.
