Abstract: A regional lung deposition system including a throat simulation device, an electrostatic neutralizer, and a first filter positioned within a first filter housing. The electrostatic neutralizer is positioned downstream of an in fluid communication with the throat simulation device. The filter housing is positioned downstream of and in fluid communication with the electrostatic neutralizer. The first filter that is positioned within the filter housing is downstream of the throat simulation device and the electrostatic neutralizer. The regional lung deposition system mimics tracheobronchial (TB) deposition of pharmaceutical aerosols emitted by commercially available dry powder inhalers (DPIs) to provide an in vitro method to rapidly evaluate regional lung doses delivered by pharmaceutical inhalers directly using variable inhalation profiles.

Abstract: A ground assembly for movable member includes an electrical ground connection that does not interfere with the movement and operation of the movable member. The movable member can be a sliding member, such as a sliding barrier, gate or closure member. In one embodiment, the ground assembly includes an electrical connector that moves relative to a fixed electrical grounding member. The electrical connector is fixed to the movable member and movable relative to the grounding member. The electrical connector moves along a length of the grounding member while maintaining contact with the electrical grounding member to provide a continuous grounding connection during movement of the movable member. In one embodiment, the fixed electrical grounding member is oriented with a longitudinal length parallel to the direction of movement of the movable member where the electrical connector of the movable member moves or slides along the length of the fixed electrical grounding member.

Abstract: Systems and methods for detecting fraudulent streaming activity. Streaming activity is posted to a blockchain by one or more DSPs. Blockchain streaming data is extracted from the blockchain and used as input in a machine learning model. The machine learning model takes the extracted blockchain data, along with additional inputs such as DSP trend pool and social pool inputs, and makes a determination regarding potentially fraudulent streaming activity.

Abstract: A one-piece metallic connector is configured to receive a fastener and has features that grip and electrically bond two conductors as they are clamped together when the fastener is tightened. The connector's generally U-shaped body has first and second legs, a bight portion joining the legs and an opening in each leg through which a single mounting fastener can extend. When installed with the outside of one leg abutting one conductor, another conductor is clamped between the legs. At least one outer projection (tooth) on the outer face of one leg engages the conductor to which the connector is mounted. At least one inner projection (tooth) on the same leg engages the conductor clamped between the legs. A recess on the inner face of the distal portion of the other leg is configured to cradle the clamped conductor.
