A system for providing feedback based on detected gestures and patterns of the gestures includes an accelerometer; a gyrometer; a magnetometer; a gesture detection circuit to: detect a gesture performed by a user of the system based on data from the accelerometer, gyrometer or magnetometer; and determine a pattern of the gesture; a processor subsystem to determine a feedback pattern and a feedback intensity based on the gesture and the pattern of the gesture; and at least one feedback element to provide feedback according to the feedback pattern and the feedback intensity. The at least one feedback element may include LED lights and/or haptic motors.

Abstract: Antibodies that penetrate cell nuclei and inhibit DNA repair or interfere with DNA metabolism are provided for treatment of cancer (both directly and by sensitizing cancer cells to DNA-damaging treatments) or inhibiting or preventing viral infection, proliferation or metabolism. The method involves treating cells with a composition containing cell-penetrating anti-DNA antibodies or derivatives thereof, alone or in combination with treatment that induces DNA damage such as DNA-damaging chemotherapy or radiation. The impact of the cell-penetrating anti-DNA antibodies or derivatives thereof is potentiated in cancer cells that are deficient in DNA repair, and the cell-penetrating anti-DNA antibodies or derivatives thereof are synthetically lethal to cancer cells with DNA repair deficiencies.

Abstract: A high-pressure passthrough apparatus and protective suit having a high-pressure passthrough is provided. A high-pressure passthrough having a penetrator body is connected to a protective suit, wherein a first half of the penetrator body is positioned exterior of the protective suit and a second half of the penetrator body is positioned interior of the suit. A high-pressure passthrough valve is positioned on the second half of the penetrator body, wherein high-pressured air is supplied to an interior space of the protective suit. Releasing the quantity of high-pressure air to the interior of the protective suit with the high-pressure passthrough valve may act to cool the interior of the protective suit.

Methods of using the antigen binding molecules for treating cancer and viral infections or preventing viral infections are also provided.

Abstract: A method for controlling touchless operation of a faucet that includes turning on a sensor of the faucet in response to receiving a signal that a mechanical valve of the faucet is in an open position, wherein the mechanical valve is movable between the open position and a closed position; shifting an electronic valve of the faucet from a closed state, in which a fluid does not flow from the faucet, to an open state, in which the fluid is configured to flow from the faucet, in response to a first interruption of a field of detection of the sensor; and shifting the electronic valve to the closed state in response to a second interruption of the field of detection of the sensor, so long as the second interruption follows the first interruption within a predetermined period of time.

Abstract: A system for performing exothermic operations or oxygen delivery uses a rod and handle configuration to create a flowpath of oxygen. The rod includes cables having stainless steel fibers that burn using the oxygen within a hollow center area. While burning, the rod cuts through material. A sheath covers the covers to contain the gases and prevent unraveling of the cables. The handle attaches to the rod and provides control of the flow of oxygen to the rod. A manifold fixing in place bottles of oxygen connects to the handle and can be fixed to provide different mixtures from different bottles. The rod is disconnected when needed to fix a mask thereto for delivering breathable oxygen to a patient.

Abstract: A touchless faucet including a tubular spout having a curved portion including an inlet end through which a fluid flow enters the spout and an outlet end through which the fluid flow exits the spout. The outlet end is located forward and downward of an apex of the curved portion and the inlet end is located rearward and downward of the apex. The faucet also includes an electronic valve for controlling the fluid flow and a sensor disposed completely within the spout along an underside of the curved portion adjacent the apex. The sensor includes a transmitter for emitting a signal and a receiver for detecting an interruption of the signal within a detection zone that does not intersect with the fluid flow from the outlet end of the spout. The sensor communicates with the electronic valve to control the fluid flow when the interruption of the signal is detected.

Abstract: A faucet assembly includes a faucet body having a mounting axis in a direction the faucet body projects from a mounting point. The assembly further includes a valve housing projecting from the faucet body and a valve disposed in the valve housing. The valve is configured to rotate about an axis parallel to and offset from the mounting axis.

Abstract: A shock absorber protector including an arcuate member having opposing arcuate member interior and exterior faces bounded by an upper edge, a lower edge, a first side edge, and a second side edge, the arcuate member interior face defining an arc between the first and second side edges; a mounting flange outwardly extending from the arcuate member interior face proximate the lower edge; and an aperture element disposed in the mounting flange, the aperture element bounding an aperture element opening which communicates between opposing mounting flange interior and exterior faces.

Abstract: It has been established that cancer cells with oncogenic mutants in the small GTPase K-Ras are susceptible to antibodies that bind intracellular guanosine, but delivery of antibodies into cells can be challenging. A subset of lupus autoantibodies is associated with anti-guanosine activity, and is capable of cellular penetration. These antibodies have potential as therapeutic agents targeted towards K-Ras associated malignancies.

Abstract: The present invention provide for solutions of a defined composition useful in a staining protocol, such as a hematoxylin and eosin staining protocol, when used at certain points of the staining protocol. The formulations of these defined solutions are such that carry-over of the solutions will not negatively impact, or preferably, will stabilize or favorably modify staining reagent solutions coming in contact with the solutions. In certain embodiments of the invention, solutions are buffered to maintain a specific pH that when carried-over—such as carried-over into hematoxylin—will not significantly influence the pH of the next staining reagent.

Abstract: Implantable medical devices including interconnections having strain-relief structure. The interconnections can take the form of flexible circuits. Strain relief gaps and shapes are integrated in the interconnections to relieve forces in each of three dimensions. In some examples, the region of an interconnection which couples with a component of the implantable medical device is separated by a strain relief gap from a connection to a second component and/or a location where the flex bends around a corner.
