Abstract: This application relates to a building energy analysis and management system for measurement and verification of building performance. The system can analyze, optimize, manage, maintain, trouble shoot, and/or modify building systems, such as HVAC systems, in connection with the building energy usage. Measurements may be gathered for one or more HVAC units coupled to pressure independent valves, and sent to one or more Surge Panels that pass data to remote analysis servers, which can receive other system or external data. The analysis servers compare measurements to predicted values and can standardize the predicted values to account for external conditions. The comparison can result in difference values used to generate probable causes and optimization recommendations. The system outputs reports or other data display using a graphical user interface that can be adjusted for an anticipated user.

Abstract: The various systems and methods disclosed herein provide an enhanced audio experience in a virtual environment. In some implementations of the system and method for enhancing audio, a user forms a group with one or more desired audio sources in a virtual environment, and audio coming from sources outside of the group are filtered to become less obtrusive. In some implementations, causing non-group audio to become less obtrusive is accomplished by lowering its perceived volume.

Abstract: A bidirectional gas discharge tube (GDT) includes a discharge chamber, first and second cathodes, a gas disposed within the discharge chamber, and a control grid. The first and second cathodes are disposed within the discharge chamber and include first and second faces, respectively. The first face and the second face are plane-parallel. The gas is configured to insulate the first cathode from the second cathode. The control grid is disposed between the first and second cathodes within the discharge chamber. The control grid is configured to generate an electric field to initiate establishment of a conductive plasma between the first and second cathodes to close a conduction path extending between the first and second cathodes.

Abstract: A DC circuit breaker includes a gas discharge tube (GDT) coupled in parallel with an extinguishing path. The GDT conducts and interrupts a load current through a normal current path. The GDT includes a thermionic cathode, an anode, and a control grid. The control grid is configured to regulate opening and closing of the normal current path. The extinguishing path is configured to lengthen a break time for the DC circuit breaker.

Abstract: Disclosed is a system for assessing user interaction with a simulated reality environment. The system includes a user device, sensor(s), a computer readable instructions, and a processor. The sensor(s) detect user data associated a simulated real world task in the simulated reality environment related to at least one of biological indicator, user interactional input, and behavioral user activity. The processor is configured to cause display, on the user device, of the simulated reality environment configured for user interaction with the simulated real world task; receive, from the sensor(s), data related to the detected user data associated with the simulated real world task; determine, based on the received user data, a confidence grade for the user. The confidence grade is indicative of the user's confidence in performance of the simulated real world task within the simulated reality environment. The processor causes transmission of feedback related to the confidence grade.

Abstract: Accommodating intraocular lenses containing a flowable media and their methods of accommodation.

Abstract: An accommodating intraocular lens includes an optic portion a haptic portion and a backstop. The optic portion of the lens includes an actuator that deflects a lens element to alter the optical power of the lens responsive to forces applied to the haptic portion of the lens by contraction of the ciliary muscles. Forces applied to the haptic portion may result in fluid displacements from or to the haptic portion from the actuator. The backstop provides support to the haptic so that bulk translation of the haptic is prevented in response to the forces applied by the capsular sac.
