Abstract: An induction motor rotor shaft assembly may include an induction motor rotor shaft rotatable about a center axis, the induction motor rotor shaft including a hollow cylindrical base including an outer circumferential surface, an inner circumferential surface, a first axial end and a second axial end. The induction motor rotor shaft can include a helical structure extending about the center axis on or in the inner circumferential surface. The induction motor rotor shaft assembly may include a coolant supply for providing coolant inside of the hollow cylindrical base onto the helical structure for flow axially inside the hollow cylindrical base along the helical structure as the induction motor rotor shaft rotates about the center axis.

Abstract: An electrical stimulation system includes an electrical stimulation circuit and a controller. The electrical stimulation circuit includes a flyback transformer connected to electrical stimulus outputs, and a switch having a control input. In some instances, a controller is connected to the control input, and generates a stimulus signal. The flyback transformer outputs an electrical stimulus event responsive to the stimulus signal onto the electrical stimulus outputs. In some instances, pulses operate to charge the flyback transformer to a saturation mode. In some further instances, a diode and capacitor arrangement electrically connected at a secondary side of the flyback transformer facilitate delivery of the electrical stimulus event at the electrical stimulus outputs.

Abstract: Systems, apparatuses, and methods are described for monitoring device data and/or gateway data. Devices may be connected to a network via a gateway device. Data transmitted and/or received by one or more of the devices may be captured and monitored to determine various parameters associated with the one or more devices. Data associated with the gateway device may also be captured and monitored. Signal strengths, device statuses, network security, and/or other metrics may be determined based on monitored data.

Abstract: A mobile system for a robotic drive includes a tray configured to support the robotic drive, a cart configured to support the tray in a substantially horizontal position, one or more wheels coupled to the cart, and an assembly coupled to the cart. The assembly is configured to allow the tray to move from the substantially horizontal position to a second position which is less horizontal than the substantially horizontal position, and is configured to resist movement of the tray from the substantially horizontal position to the second position.

Abstract: Compositions and methods for controlling pests are provided. The methods involve transforming organisms with a nucleic acid sequence encoding an insecticidal protein. In particular, the nucleic acid sequences are useful for preparing plants and microorganisms that possess insecticidal activity. Thus, transformed bacteria, plants, plant cells, plant tissues and seeds are provided. Compositions are insecticidal nucleic acids and proteins of bacterial species. The sequences find use in the construction of expression vectors for subsequent transformation into organisms of interest including plants, as probes for the isolation of other homologous (or partially homologous) genes. The pesticidal proteins find use in controlling, inhibiting growth or killing Lepidopteran, Coleopteran, Dipteran, fungal, Hemipteran and nematode pest populations and for producing compositions with insecticidal activity.

Abstract: Disclosed is a system for qualifying medical images submitted by user for diagnostic analysis comprising: an image input module, configured to receive one or more image input by a user; an image protocol conformation module, configured to receive the one or more images from the image input module, and further configured to analyze each of the one or more images for conformity with a predefined protocol and wherein images that do not conform to the predefined protocol are flagged as non-conforming images; an image output module, configured to identify to the user each of the one or more images flagged as non-conforming and prompting the user to resubmit a new image for each of the non-conforming images; and an image resubmission module, configured to receive the user resubmitted image and provide the resubmitted image to the image protocol conformation module.

Abstract: The present disclosure provides isolated polypeptides comprising variable lymphocyte receptors that specifically bind the brain extracellular matrix, compositions, and methods of use.

Abstract: A ring toss game assembly includes a pair of goals that each has a plurality of branches thereon such that each of the goals has a tree-like shape. Each of the goals is urgeable to penetrate a support surface having the goals spaced a pre-determined distance apart from each other and being vertically oriented. A plurality of first rings, second rings and third rings is distributed evenly among players. Each of the first rings, second rings and third rings is tossed toward a respective goal during game play. Each of the first rings, the second rings and the third rings scores a respective minimum number of point, a medium number of points and a maximum number of points when the first rings, second rings or third rings lands on a branch of the goal.

Abstract: A seal laminate for closing a mouth of a container is provided. The seal laminate includes a heat seal layer, a structural base support layer and upper and lower dimensional stable layers. The heat seal layer bonds the laminate to a rim surrounding the container's mouth. The structural base support layer may be comprised of a pulp, paper, cardboard, chipboard, paperboard, or cellulose based material having a moisture content of about 3 to about 6 percent and is positioned above the heat seal layer. The upper and lower dimensionally stable layers are disposed above and below the structural base support layer and are sized to balance the vertical forces on the structural base support layer upon exposure to about 60 percent or greater relative humidity. The upper and lower dimensionally stable layers have a water vapor transmission rate of about 1.5 g/100 in2/24 hours or below.
