Abstract: Disclosed is a solenoid actuator for hydraulic valves having a single piece core tube and method for manufacturing a single piece core tube for being used in a solenoid valve arrangement showing a basically cylindrical body, including of magnetic metal material, and defining a rotational axis. The single piece core tube is divided axially into a pole section, a transition section and a tube section including of a blind bore in the core tube. The medial end of the blind bore is formed by the transition section. In the tube section an armature is accommodated moveably in direction of the rotational axis. The outer diameter of the cylindrical body in the transition section is set back radially to form a magnetic flux deviation groove such that the metallic wall thickness in the transition section is smaller than in the tube section. According to the disclosure the magnetic flux deviation groove is filled by poured or molded plastic material up to the outer diameter of the cylindrical body.

Abstract: One or more fibers in a nerve can be selectively stimulated and/or blocked with focused direct current (DC) neuromodulation based on application of a DC via at least one electrode coupled to a current generator. The current generator can generate at least one DC with an amplitude of less than 15 mA for a time and the at least one electrode can apply the DC to a nerve for the time. Application of the DC to the nerve for the time can create a spatially restricted DC field based on the DC and specific geometries and configurations of the at least one electrode. For instance, the spatially restricted DC field can at least partially block conduction in small-diameter nerve fibers of the nerve while leaving large-diameter, myelinated nerve fibers of the nerve substantially unblocked and able to conduct.

Abstract: The present disclosure relates to a therapeutic device for treating a corneal abrasion, a corneal infection, or both, where the therapeutic device includes a housing including an eye module, a camera module mounted in the housing and configured to detect light from the eye module, a non-ultraviolet light source configured to direct non-ultraviolet light through the eye module. A benefit of the devices can be to provide targeted, dynamically adaptable treatments to eyes afflicted with corneal abrasions and corneal infections.

Abstract: A container for collecting a liquid drained from a vehicle comprises a pan for collecting the liquid being drained from the vehicle and a vessel for containing the liquid collected with the pan. The vessel includes a vented inlet and an inlet cap to occlude the vented inlet. The vessel includes a vented outlet and an outlet cap to occlude the vented outlet. The vessel is devoid of an additional vent that the user must remember to open/close and that is prone to leaking.

Abstract: An integrated platform system that employ a series of machine learning techniques and prediction and detection units that can process input data and extract and generate meaningful insights and predictions therefrom. The system integrates together multiple different data storage types and applications that generates data of different types, and an associated processing system for processing the different data types, store the data in a common data model to normalize the data, determine the data lineage of the data, and then process the data using different types of techniques. The data can also be processed by a prediction unit for generating meaningful insights and predictions or by an anomaly detection unit for detecting one or more anomalies in the data.

Abstract: Oil filters used in automotive vehicles come in different sizes and may be located at varying positions on the engine which differ in terms of ease of access. Due to such variability, multiple specialized tools have typically been required to remove installed oil filters from automotive engines, including various sized pliers, straps, bands and the like, the selection of the tool depending on the location and size of the oil filter, and the angle of approach required. An oil filter removal tool is now provided which has at least two sets of opposing gripping regions, the two sets being in perpendicular orientation relative to each other. Advantageously, the oil filter removal tool may be used to approach and grasp the oil filter from an axial or radial direction, and may be used with different sizes of oil filters.

Abstract: Aspects of the disclosure relate to synthetic tissue or organ scaffolds and methods and compositions for promoting or maintaining their structural integrity. Aspects of the disclosure are useful to prevent scaffold damage (e.g., delamination) during or after implantation into a host. Aspects of the disclosure are useful to stabilize tissue or organ scaffolds that include electrospun fibers.

Abstract: According to some embodiments, there is provided a wheel storage apparatus comprising a frame having a loading platform, a wheel supporting platform and a handle section. When the wheel storage apparatus is in a first orientation, the loading platform is generally parallel with and at a loading height from a loading surface and configured to cradle a plurality of wheels about a circumferential portion of each wheel. The wheel supporting platform is coupled to a first end of the loading platform and configured to support the wheels in a stacked configuration when the wheel storage apparatus is in a second orientation. The wheel storage apparatus is configured to rotate from the first orientation to the storage orientation about a pivot axis proximate the first end of the loading platform. Kits for wheel storage apparatus are also described.
