Abstract: Methods and systems are described herein for a navigation system that may be coupled with an object transport vehicle. The navigation system may obtain a list of objects that need to be collected and determine locations of these objects within the indoor environment. In addition, the navigation system may determine locations of other object transport vehicles and may then generate a path for the object transport vehicle so that the object transport vehicle is able to collect the objects in the list and also avoid congested parts of the indoor environment.

Abstract: The present technology is generally directed to adjustable shunting systems for draining fluid from a first body region to a second body region. The adjustable shunting systems include a flow control plate or cartridge for controlling the flow of fluid through the system. For example, the flow control plate can include a shape memory actuation assembly having one or more nitinol actuators for controlling the flow of fluid through the system. The flow control plate can further include a plurality of discrete sheets or layers adhered together to encase the shape memory actuation assembly. The discrete sheets or layers can form flow channels for directing fluid through the flow control plate.

Abstract: The present technology is directed to implantable medical devices for draining fluid from a first body region to a second body region. Some embodiments of the present technology provide adjustable devices that are selectively titratable to provide various levels of therapy. For example, the adjustable devices can have a drainage element with a lumen extending therethrough, a flow control element, and an actuation assembly. The actuation assembly can drive movement of the flow control element to change a dimension of and/or a flow resistance through the lumen, thereby increasing or decreasing the relative drainage rate of aqueous from an eye. In some embodiments, the actuation assembly and the flow control element together operate as a ratchet mechanism that can selectively move the flow control element between a plurality of positions and lock the device in a desired configuration until further actuation of the actuation assembly.

Abstract: The present technology relates to intraocular shunting systems and methods. In some embodiments, the present technology includes intraocular shunting systems that include a drainage element having an inflow portion configured for placement within an anterior chamber of the eye outside of an optical field of view of the patient and an outflow portion configured for placement at a different location of the eye. The system can also include a flow control assembly having a rotational control element operably coupled to the drainage element. The flow control assembly can further include an actuation structure coupled to the rotational control element and configured to selectively change an orientation of the rotational control element. An amount of fluid through the inflow portion and/or the outflow portion can vary based on the selected orientation of the rotational control element.

Abstract: A system and related method for change management at login. The method includes constructing an administratively prescribed target data store as a function of received administrative input prescribing a target feature and target feature-state, and related messages to push to a user upon occurrences of target feature mismatches and matches. Login information, including a username identifier, service provider identifier, and current use time-stamp are received for a user. A historical data store is queried to obtain a user status that associates the username identifier and the service provider identifier with a previously used feature, feature-state and a previous use time-stamp. The target data store is queried for the service provider. Determinations are made as to whether previous feature use matches target feature use. Messages are displayed responsive thereto.

Abstract: In some implementations, a system may collect historical interaction information associated with previous service interactions involving users that received the service. The system may determine, based on the historical interaction information, an impact score associated with an attribute of a group of the users satisfies a degradation threshold. The system may receive a request involving a user receiving the service, wherein the request indicates that the user is associated with the attribute. The system may determine, based on the user being associated with the attribute and the impact score satisfying the degradation threshold, a parameter that reduces a probability that the user experiences the degradation of the performance metric when receiving the service. The system may perform an action associated with the parameter and the user.
