Abstract: Warehouse automation and methods of sorting and sequencing garment items can be used to enhance efficiencies of order fulfillment processes. For example, this document describes warehouse automation of systems and methods for efficiently compiling store replenishment orders for garment items. The systems and methods make store replenishment of garment items highly efficient. In some examples, the systems and methods are focused on automation (e.g., using autonomous mobile robots that transport pods containing garment items) and arranging the garment items in store-ready containers that can be wheeled out directly into the retail area for efficient store replenishment.

Abstract: A computer implemented method of controlling an interactive hybrid environment representing a motorised sporting event at a track is described. The interactive hybrid environment includes representations of real and virtual vehicles on the track.

Abstract: An embryo, gamete or stem cell culture medium comprising: a) acetyl-carnitine at a concentration of about 5 to about 50 ?M; and b) lipoic acid or a derivative thereof at a concentration of about 2.5 to about 40 ?M. The culture medium may optionally further comprises acetyl-cysteine at a concentration of about 5 to about 50 ?M.

Abstract: A debris collection device for collecting and transporting debris includes a shell, which defines an interior space. The shell is flexible and thus collapsible. The shell has a top, which is open for insertion of articles, such as debris, into the interior space. A pair of sleeves is engaged singly to and extends along opposed sides of the shell proximate to the top. Each of a pair of poles is selectively insertable into a respective sleeve so that opposed terminal sections of the pole protrude from the sleeve. The opposed terminal sections can be grasped in hands of user, positioning the user to lift the shell and the articles.

Abstract: The introduction of electronics into a drug delivery device may introduce certain technical challenges, such as durability, electro-mechanical integration, and drug delivery performance. The present disclosure provides solutions for inclusion of an electronics module with an inhaler. For example, heat stakes may be used to secure a printed circuit board (PCB) to an electronics module's housing. Also for example, a slider may be used to transfer vertical movement of an inhaler's yoke to an electronics module's switch. Also for example, certain seals may be used when interfacing the electronics module to other portions of the device's housing to achieve a desired performance.

Abstract: In some embodiments, the present disclosure is directed to a method that comprises: (a) identifying and storing dedicated preferred access agreements between application service providers and telecommunication service providers; (b) capturing and analyzing application service provider subscriber usage for defined service applications; and (c) automating purchase or removal of telecommunication service provider features for identified subscribers based on the preferred access agreements and the analyzing of the application service provider subscriber usage.

Abstract: In some embodiments, a method includes producing, from an adapter, a first wireless signal characterized by a first communication mode with a computing device when a portion of at least one of a medicament delivery device or a simulated medicament delivery is disposed within the adapter. An indication is received when the portion of the medicament delivery device or the simulated medicament delivery device is removed from the adapter. A second wireless signal characterized by a second communication mode with the computing device is produced in response to the indication. The second communication mode is different from the first communication mode. The second communication mode can be, for example, a hold mode, a sniff mode or a park mode.

Abstract: A method may include initiating a static analysis of code including a first function, detecting, in the first function and by the static analysis, an indirect call to a second function whose identity is unknown until the code is executed, detecting, in the code, a conditional block including a first instruction sequence and a second instruction sequence, determining, by the static analysis, that the first instruction sequence sets a value that identifies the second function, and adding the value to a called function list for the code.

Abstract: The present invention provides a method for diagnosing in a subject Acute Kidney Injury or a related or analogous disease state. The method comprises the steps of a) providing a sample taken from the subject: b) analysing the sample from the subject to determine the level of a biomarker selected from certain atomic species; and c) comparing the level of the biomarker in the sample to a reference level of the biomarker that is characteristic of a healthy subject, eg a subject having normal renal function. An elevated level of the biomarker in the sample relative to the reference level is indicative of Acute Kidney Injury or a related or analogous disease state. The invention also relates to the use of an atomic species selected from those in Table 1 as a biomarker for Acute Kidney Injury or a related or analogous disease state, and test kits comprising an analytical element sensitive to those biomarkers.
