Abstract: A robotically enabled teleoperated system can include a controller and a robotic tool capable of manipulation by the controller. The controller can include a handle, a gimbal and a positioning platform. The handle can be configured for actuation by an operator to cause a corresponding manipulation of the robotic tool. The gimbal can include a joint and a load cell. The joint can be configured to be manipulated based on an impedance control, such that manipulation of the gimbal causes a corresponding manipulation of the robotic tool based on a displacement of the joint. A portion of the positioning platform can be configured to be manipulated based on an admittance control, such that manipulation of the positioning platform causes a corresponding manipulation of the robotic tool based on a force imparted on the controller and measured by the load cell.

Abstract: An application server may identify one or more contact identifiers associated with one or more contacts associated with a communication event. The application server may retrieve information associated with the one or more contacts from one or more data sources based on the one or more contact identifiers. The application server may generate, based on the information retrieved from the one or more data sources, a set of contact characteristics for the one or more contacts. The application server may identify one or more actions to be performed via the electronic communication application and associated with the communication event based at least in part on the generated set of contact characteristics and a response status. The application server may transmit, to a user device, an indication of the identified one or more actions.

Abstract: A simple and versatile mounting bracket for mounting e.g. legs on a piece of furniture is provided. The multifunctional mounting bracket facilitates a switch between two states, e.g. a switch between using a table as a dining table and using the table as a coffee table, or a switch between a “table” position and a “stack-up” position without the use of tools.

Abstract: A method of adjusting the inclination of a furniture leg and a mounting set including a base part, a mounting part, a fixation means, and a furniture leg. The base part comprises a first truncated cone element with an inclined surface. The mounting part includes a second truncated cone element having an inclined surface with a connecting element for detachable connection of the furniture leg. The fixation means prevents rotational movement between the base part and the mounting part. The mounting part is detachably fixated to the base part for allowing the mounting part to be rotated relative to the base part for adjusting the inclination angle of the furniture leg relative to the vertical plane being perpendicular to the planar underside of the furniture.

Abstract: A method for delivering a dose of a gaseous drug to a patient with a respiratory disorder including powering a control circuit via a power supply, determining a normal resting breath rate for the patient via the control circuit, determining a current breath rate for the patient via the control circuit, comparing the current breath rate to the normal resting breath rate; determining a dose of the gaseous drug for the patient based on the comparison, positioning a spool valve within a spool valve assembly; and delivering the determined dose through the low flow valve, the high flow valve, and/or a combination of the low flow valve and the high flow valve, and the continuous flow valve based on the position of a spool valve. The control circuit may control a low flow valve, a high flow valve, and a continuous flow valve.

Abstract: A spool valve assembly for a gaseous drug delivery device includes a housing, a gas inlet, a continuous flow orifice, a valve outlet, a valve mounting surface, a spool valve, a patient outlet, an exhaust chamber with a pressure sensor detecting inhalation and a gaseous drug path to the patient, and a control circuit connected to the pressure sensor. The gas inlet includes a port connected to a gaseous drug supply, with a first portion inside the housing and a second portion outside the housing. The valve mounting surface includes a mount for a high flow valve and a low flow valve, with the valve mounting surface between the gas inlet and the valve outlet. The spool valve includes a knob, an outer surface, sealing members and a counter bore, with a first portion of the knob inside the housing and a second portion outside the housing.
