Abstract: The present disclosure is directed to a power tool including a motor housing and an electric motor situated within the motor housing. The electric motor is configured to provide rotational energy to rotate an output device of the power tool about an output axis. The power tool also includes a cover configured to cover at least a portion of a surface of the motor housing that faces the output device. The power tool further includes a first lighting device located within the cover and a second lighting device located within the cover. The first lighting device and the second lighting device are located around the output axis and are separated from each other by at least 130 degrees about the output axis. The power tool also includes first power wires configured to provide power to the first lighting device from a power source of the power tool.

Abstract: A surface cleaner configured to distribute a liquid to a surface to be cleaned. The surface cleaner includes a supply tank, a fluid distributor, a suction inlet aperture, a recovery tank and a tool removably connectable to the surface cleaner and configured to direct fluid from the fluid distributor into the suction inlet aperture to rinse the suction inlet aperture.

Abstract: Systems and methods are described for monitoring usage of a medicament dispenser—particularly an inhaled medicament dispenser. The usage monitoring device is configured to emit a detection signal responsive to receiving a request to locate the medicament dispenser. The detection signal alerts presence of the medicament dispenser to the user of the medicament dispenser. The usage monitoring device can be embodied as an attachment configured to be selectively coupled to one of a variety of different inhalers including, for example, a Diskus-type inhaler and a Respimat-type inhaler.

Abstract: The present invention relates to compounds and methods which may be useful as treatments of neuromuscular diseases such as muscular dystrophy, and as inhibitors of NF-?B for the treatment or prevention of muscular wasting disease, including muscular dystrophy.

Abstract: A method is described. The method includes executing solid state drive program code from system memory of a computing system to perform any/all of garbage collection, wear leveling and logical block address to physical block address translation routines for a solid state drive that is coupled to a computing system that the system memory is a component of.

Abstract: A machine implemented method includes acquiring at a processor a first image of a patent by performing a computed tomography (CT) scan of a patient and applying at the processor a generative neural network model to the first image of the patient to generate a second image of the patient. The method may further include performing, at the processor, an analysis using the first image and the second image. The first image may be a first pulmonary image and the second image may be a second pulmonary image. The first pulmonary image may show lungs at a first volume and the second pulmonary image may show the lungs at a second volume, the first volume different from the second volume. The first pulmonary image may be a scan of the lungs at expiration and the second pulmonary image may be an inspiratory image of the lungs.

Abstract: This disclosure describes the use of a phosphodiesterase-5 (PDE5) inhibitor to reduce an individual's desire to smoke and/or frequency of smoking. In some embodiments, the PDE5 inhibitor is sildenafil (e.g., Viagra).

Abstract: Described herein are method and apparatus for servicing software components of nodes of a cluster storage system. During data-access sessions with clients, client IDs and file handles for accessing files are produced and stored to clients and stored (as session data) to each node. A serviced node is taken offline, whereby network connections to clients are disconnected. Each disconnected client is configured to retain its client ID and file handles and attempt reconnections. Session data of the serviced node is made available to a partner node (by transferring session data to the partner node). After clients have reconnected to the partner node, the clients may use the retained client IDs and file handles to continue a data-access session with the partner node since the partner node has access to the session data of the serviced node and thus will recognize and accept the retained client ID and file handles.

Abstract: The present disclosure provides methods of treating or reducing the symptoms of muscular dystrophy in a human patient between the age of 1 day and 18 years old, comprising administering to the human patient in need thereof a therapeutically effective amount of a vamorolone and/or a salt thereof.

Abstract: An embodiment of an electronic apparatus may include one or more substrates, and a controller coupled to the one or more substrates, the controller including circuitry to control access to NAND-based storage media that includes a plurality of NAND devices, maintain respective read disturb (RD) counters for each of two or more tracked units at respective granularities, maintain respective global RD counters for each of the two or more tracked units and, in response to a read request, increment one or more global RD counters that correspond to the read request, determine if a global RD counter for a tracked unit matches a random number associated with the tracked unit and, if so determined, increment a RD counter for the tracked unit that corresponds to the read request and generate a new random number for the tracked unit. Other embodiments are disclosed and claimed.

Abstract: A pressure controller for a fluidic bladder has in sequence a pump, a first fluid line, a supply pressure sensor, a second fluid line, a bladder having an inlet coupled to the second fluid line, a bladder outlet coupled to a third fluid line of substantially equal length to the second fluid line, a return pressure sensor, and a fourth fluid line coupled to the return pressure sensor and returning fluid from the pump to the reservoir. A pressure estimate is formed by establishing the second fluid line length and inner diameter as the same as the third fluid line length and inner diameter, and forming the pressure estimate by averaging the supply pressure and return pressure. The pressure controller receives a setpoint pressure as a command and data over a wireless channel, and computes a head pressure offset by turning the pump off and measuring the supply and return pressures.

Abstract: Novel systems and methods for airway segmentation are disclosed using confident airway volume, multi-scale topological and geometric leakage detection, exact leakage localization and correction, forbidden volume insertion and freezing, iterative shift in growing techniques starting with a conservative parameter/strategy and progressing toward generous ones, and a final pruning using machine learning, neural network, deep learning or artificial intelligence methods. The systems and methods are fully automated requiring no manual inputs or post-editing steps. The systems and methods use region growing-based segmentation to iteratively grow an airway tree starting with an initial seed, possibly inside the trachea, and a conservative segmentation parameter, e.g., a conservative threshold value for intensity-based region growing. The method then gradually progresses toward more generous values of the segmentation parameters until there is convergence.
