Abstract: Stapling assemblies for use with a surgical stapler are provided. In one exemplary embodiment, the stapling assembly includes a cartridge having a plurality of staples disposed therein and a non-fibrous adjunct formed of at least one fused bioabsorbable polymer and configured to be releasably retained on the cartridge. Adjunct systems for use with a surgical stapler are also provided. Surgical end effectors using the stapling assemblies are also provided. Methods for manufacturing stapling assemblies and using the same are also provided.

Abstract: A system and method of identifying objects is provided. In one aspect, the system and method includes a hand-held device with a display, camera and processor. As the camera captures images and displays them on the display, the processor compares the information retrieved in connection with one image with information retrieved in connection with subsequent images. The processor uses the result of such comparison to determine the object that is likely to be of greatest interest to the user. The display simultaneously displays the images the images as they are captured, the location of the object in an image, and information retrieved for the object.

Abstract: Systems and methods for providing an advertisement marketplace where buyers and sellers can trade linear mediacast advertisement inventory programmatically at local, national, and/or worldwide levels. The marketplace system may include a seller-controlled marketplace system which connects sellers with buyers and offers revenue management tools for optimizing yields across direct and programmatic channels. The advertisement inventory is bought and sold as canonical inventory units which group similar but discrete advertisement slots together. The marketplace system may include a real-time bidding (RTB) adapter through which digital advertising buyers may place bids for such inventory units using standard protocols utilized in digital RTB systems.

Abstract: A system and method of managing an on-demand electrolytic reactor for supplying hydrogen and oxygen gas to an internal combustion engine. The system minimizes reactor's power consumption and parasitic energy loss generally associated with perpetual reactors. The system comprises a plurality of sensors coupled to the reactor measuring a plurality of reactor parameters, an electronic control unit coupled to the plurality of sensors and the engine, and a reactor control board coupled to the reactor and the electronic control unit. The electronic control unit: monitors the plurality of reactor parameters and the plurality of engine parameters; determines a reactor performance level; determines an engine performance level; determines a change in the engine performance level to forecast a future engine demand level; and determines an ideal reactor performance level corresponding to the engine performance level or the future engine demand level.

Abstract: Systems and methods for coordinating secure delivery of goods. A coordination processor communicates with a package storage system and delivery provider device to deliver goods to a user. In response to a user ordering one or more goods, the coordination processor provides the delivery provider device with a delivery provider code usable to access a secure storage container at the package storage system. The coordination processor also provides the user with a first user code. Once the goods are positioned in the storage container, an alert is transmitted to the user device. The user can then input the first user code at the package storage system. In response to validating the first user code a second, different, user code can be transmitted to the user device. The user can input the second user code in order to access the secure storage container and retrieve the goods.

The marketplace system may include a seller-controlled marketplace system which connects sellers with buyers and offers revenue management tools for optimizing yields across direct and programmatic channels. The advertisement inventory is bought and sold as canonical inventory units which group similar but discrete advertisement slots together. The marketplace system may include a seller side platform (SSP) for sellers through which sellers can access demand across multiple sales channels and can make advertisement inventory available and accept or reject bids based on marketplace demand.

Abstract: Various embodiments are described herein for methods, devices and systems that can be used to track at least one emission type generated, directly or indirectly, by an entity. In one example embodiment, the system includes an emission tracking device coupled to the entity, where the emission tracking device receives a first emission data received at a first time and a second emission data received at a second time after implementation of one or more emission reduction steps. The system further includes an external processor in communication with the emission tracking device, where the external processor is configured to analyze the first emission data to determine an emission baseline, analyze the second emission data to determine a second emission output value, and determine an emission offset measurement corresponding to the at least one emission type based on the emission baseline and the second emission output value.
