Abstract: An embodiment includes a robotic welding system for generating a motion program, having a programmable robot controller of a robot having a computer processor and a computer memory. The programmable robot controller is configured to digitally record, in the computer memory, a plurality of spatial points along an operator path in a 3D space taken by a calibrated tool center point (TCP) of the robot as an operator manually moves a robot arm of the robot along the operator path from a start point to a destination point within the 3D space. The programmable robot controller is also configured to identify and eliminate extraneous spatial points from the plurality of spatial points as digitally recorded, leaving a subset of the plurality of spatial points as digitally recorded, where the extraneous spatial points are a result of extraneous movements of the robot arm by the operator.

Abstract: A very low frequency (VLF) receiver is provided. The VLF receiver comprises a magnetometer that detects a magnetic field, wherein the magnetometer comprises a rubidium gas cell. Processing circuitry receives an electrical signal representative of VLF electromagnetic signals detected by the magnetometer. A multi-axis array encloses the magnetometer. The multi-axis array comprises a number of inductive coils. A closed loop current controller is connected to the inductive coils and runs on the processing circuitry. The closed loop current controller controls the magnetic field strength of the inductive coils to maintain a uniform magnetic field across the rubidium gas cell to allow the processing circuitry to detect the VLF electromagnetic signals.

Abstract: Machine learning techniques for estimating an indication of carotid-femoral pulse wave velocity (CFPWV) and/or vascular age (VA) of a subject from an arterial waveform previously measured at a single site by an arterial waveform acquisition device coupled to the subject, the method comprising using at least one computer hardware processor to perform: obtaining the arterial waveform, the arterial waveform comprising a plurality of portions corresponding to a respective plurality of heartbeats of the subject; generating a representative heartbeat waveform from the arterial waveform; and providing the representative heartbeat waveform as input to a trained machine learning model to produce a corresponding output indicative of the CFPWV of the subject.

Abstract: A radio system can have an antenna interface unit (AIU), a processor controller unit (PCU), and an interface cable. The AIU can be coupled to one or more antennae and can be configured to receive signals and/or convert the signals to digital signals. The PCU can be coupled to the AIU. The PCU can be configured to receive the analog signals via the interface cable, which can be configured to convey signals according to Wi-Fi, Ethernet, and RF protocols. The interface cable can be configured to provide power from the PCU to the AIU. The PCU can include a contactor controller for protecting against reverse polarity DC power connection.

Abstract: A system for streaming avionics simulator content to remote clients allows the clients to use with low-cost or commercial-off-the-shelf (COTS) visualization hardware by performing all computations and graphics generation on the server side. Avionics simulators generate interactive graphic content dynamically simulating cabin or cockpit interior environments. Streaming servers connected to the simulators receive simulation requests from the client-side visualization devices specifying a desired environment for simulation and parameters relevant to the desired environment (e.g., a system configuration, an aircraft configuration, a set of external conditions). The streaming servers identify the client-side visualization equipment and verify that the client-side devices are permitted to receive, and capable of receiving, the desired content.

Abstract: A monitoring system for monitoring the temperature of a sample of insulin stored in a container. Additionally, a monitoring and detecting system for monitoring a sample that is sensitive to ambient temperature, pressure and/or ultra-violet (UV) radiation or other conditions. The system includes sensor circuits that sense conditions of a sample. A comparator circuit receives input from the sensor circuit indicative of the sensed conditions of the sample. The comparator circuit generates a profile of the sample and indicator modules provide an indication, such as warn or fail for the sample.

Abstract: A medical device case for allowing passage of a tube from the interior to the exterior of a case such that the case is sealed against fluid intrusion whether a tube is present or absent. The medical device case generally includes a case having a first portion and a second portion hingedly connected to the first portion. The first portion and second portion may be closed together to define a compartment in which a medical device may be positioned. A tube seal assembly is included which will allow a tube leading from the medical device within the compartment to exit the case through a passage. The tube seal assembly generally includes a first seal and second seal which combine when the case is closed to seal around the tube when it is present or to seal against each other when no tube is present.
