Abstract: Examples are described herein for monitoring power source usage of a computing device, including a battery and another power source, over time. In various examples, time periods of this monitored time may be added to a time count based on their immediately previous or immediately subsequent time periods satisfying a condition. The time count may be used to track periods of time during which certain power source usage factors are present that may lead to or may indicate the presence of battery swelling. After a time period is added to the time count, the updated time count can be compared to a time count threshold, and a user of the computing device may be warned based on the comparison. The threshold and warning may be selected to warn a user of potential present or future swelling of the battery.

Abstract: Examples provide improved methods for refining an initial search request of a user, as may be performed by a search recommendations system. The system may receive an initial search request via a graphical user interface and identify relevant products for the initial search request. The relevant products for the initial search request may be associated with refinement filters for refining the initial search request. The system may assign scores to the refinement filters based at least on historical search queries of the user or historical interactions of the user. The system may select refinement filter(s) based on the scores assigned to the refinement filters, and display refined search request(s) as user-interactable component(s) on the graphical user interface. The refined search request may be based on refining the initial search request using the selected refinement filter.

Abstract: Examples provide improved methods for generating search recommendations in response to a user-initiated search. Examples include receiving a search request including search terms; identifying one or more product categories as output from a machine learning classification model; identifying products that are assigned to those product categories, including product titles short descriptions in a natural language; applying the product titles and short descriptions as input to a second machine learning model that is configured to generate recommended searches; scoring each recommended search of the plurality of recommended searches; selecting one or more recommended searches of the plurality of recommended searches based on the scoring; and causing the one or more recommended searches to be displayed as user-interactable components on a graphical user interface, each user-interactable component being configured to execute a second search request upon user interaction with the user-interactable component.

Abstract: Systems and methods provide improved bus efficiency in read operations by a solid-state device (SSD) installed in an Information Handling System. A read operation is received that requests data stored in a die of the SSD. A command is issued to the die for use of a first read voltage in retrieving the requested data. Upon receiving confirmation that the die has retrieved the requested data, a command is issued to the die to configure a second read voltage for use in retrieving data requested by a second read operation received by the SSD. Concurrent with the die setting the second read voltage for use in retrieving the data requested in the second read operation, a command is issued to initiating transfer, by the die, of the data retrieved for the first read operation. In this manner, idle intervals in the bus used to service the die are eliminated.

Abstract: A low-cost medical pump for ambulatory use provides an improved IV line cartridge attachment allowing for single handed, low force release while preventing inadvertent IV line cartridge release. A rotatable side lever minimizes the force required to move the locking elements against a spring biased force urging the locking elements to a locking position.

Abstract: A digital syringe is used with conventional polymer disposable syringe construction to be practical in the medical environment. Errors associated with the larger volumes of the syringes (which exacerbate minor errors in plunger position) and the flexibility and dimensional variations of the polymer plungers are accommodated by direct measurement of the syringe plunger position rather than indirect measurement of motor position and inference of syringe plunger position. This direct measurement eliminates mechanical tolerances (“stack up”) in the motor, gear train, and lead screw on plunger movement, an effect exacerbated by flexibility of the plunger and changes in syringe resistance and medicament viscosity, for example, with different medicaments or when the syringe is refrigerated. The digital syringe may be combined with the motor unit to provide additional versatility.

Abstract: A one-time use plastic disposable lockbox enclosing an infusion system including the infusion device, method of delivery such as tubing, and source reservoir such as a fluid bag or syringe is provided. The lockbox includes first and second thermoplastic shells joinable along a separation plane to define a housing. The housing carries an IV bag volume abutting a periphery of a filled standard IV bag to restrain movement of that IV bag along the separation plane and a pump volume abutting a periphery of an IV pump to restrain movement of that IV pump along the separation plane. A channel extends between the pump volume and an exterior of the housing to allow egress of a standard IV line from the housing.

Abstract: A mediator host is provided for identifying services of networked resources which are available for invocation in a grid computing architecture. A mediator host Application Program Interface (API) is configured to receive a service registry query and related resource query. The API identifies the service registry query and related resource query by signature. A service registry query processing agent is configured receive an identified service registry query from the API, and, to communicate with a corresponding service registry to satisfy the query. A resource query processing agent is configured to receive an identified related resource query from the API, and, to communicate with a corresponding resource registry to satisfy the query. The mediator host returns a service query response which satisfies a predetermined resource metric to identify candidate services for invocation.

Abstract: A method for reducing thermal resistance at a junction between two types of metallic material is provided. The method mainly forms a capillary structure between the two surfaces of the two identical or different types of metallic material. The method then adds and melts an appropriate amount of soldering paste at the junction so as to bind the two types of metallic material together. The invention could achieve superior structural strength and thermal conductivity at the junction.
