Abstract: Disclosed herein are glass pharmaceutical vials having sidewalls of reduced thickness. In embodiments, the glass pharmaceutical vial may include a glass body comprising a sidewall enclosing an interior volume. An outer diameter D of the glass body is equal to a diameter d1 of a glass vial of size X as defined by ISO 8362-1, wherein X is one of 2R, 3R, 4R, 6R, 8R, 10R, 15R, 20R, 25R, 30R, 50R, and 100R as defined by ISO 8362-1. However, the sidewall of the glass pharmaceutical vial comprises an average wall thickness Ti that is less than or equal to 0.85*s1, wherein s1 is a wall thickness of the glass vial of size X as defined by ISO 8362-1 and X is one of 2R, 3R, 4R, 6R, 8R, 10R, 15R, 20R, 25R, 30R, 50R, and 100R as defined by ISO 8362-1.

Abstract: A battery module includes a plurality of battery cells and a battery monitoring system configured to monitor one or more parameters of the plurality of battery cells. The battery module includes a processor configured to execute a battery monitoring script to generate a battery information payload defined by a battery information payload format. The battery module includes a radio configured to receive a container file including metadata defining the battery information payload format and the battery monitoring script; transmit the metadata to a service device; and transmit the battery information payload to the service device. A battery pack includes one or more battery modules and a wireless battery management system controller configured to: receive the battery information payload from each of the plurality of the battery modules; and provide aggregated battery information to a battery management controller of a host.

Abstract: A system for remote user monitoring includes a user monitoring device and a controller. The controller receives sensor data from the user monitoring device and updates stored user data accordingly. Upon confirmation of an emergency associated with a particular user, the controller generates an emergency event code, associates the code with the particular user, and sends the code to a monitoring operator to provide to emergency dispatch. When receiving a user data access request including the emergency event code from an emergency dispatcher, the controller only provides user data associated with the particular user when determining that the emergency event code received from the emergency dispatcher is active. The user monitoring device may store an on-shift configuration specifying which information to send to the controller during an on-shift mode and an off-shift configuration specifying which information to send during an off-shift mode, and may dynamically change modes at different times.

Abstract: Electrochemical machining of parts employs electric or voltage pulses in which current flows in a first direction and a second direction opposite from the first direction. The cathodic/anodic pulses switch between bulk machining and oxide removal pushing bulk material removal into a homogenous regime to obtain a smooth surface finish and appropriate form control during the electrochemical machining process compared to electrochemical machining employing an electric or voltage potential in which current flows in only one direction.
